Oh, I had fun today! :D
Rob and I spent the day in some renovation stores picking up some odds and ends for our place. We stopped by a couple of flooring stores and we happened to drive by a Petsmart. We stopped by to see if they had the adoption center open, and of course, they were filled with kittens.
There was a volunteer there from a local rescue and I was talking with her. I told her I haven't been around cats since Nakita passed away and I miss them so much. She said the best thing I could do would be to go into the adoption room and start interacting with the cats. I spent a good 45 minutes just being surrounded by kittens. :D It was sooo much fun. There was every colour - black, calico, orange, tabby. Every time I picked one up they would just purr.
There was a grey and black striped male named Major with golden eyes that would melt your heart. I was holding him and he kept nuzzling into my arm. There was also a black male with an oriental type body that had the most gorgeous green eyes.
She said the organization is always looking for volunteers so I mentioned if they ever need an amateur photographer, I'd be happy to help out. She took my name and said the head of the rescue would be giving me a call.
I can't imagine a better way to find my next furkid. And spending a couple of hours taking photographs of felines is a great way for me to get the fur therapy I so need right now. It will also help me improve my photography skills as well. ;)
So, yes, I had a wonderful day. Just wanted to share. We should be finished the renovations in the next couple of months and then, maybe I can bring one or two home. :)
