Hi everyone. I was at Pet Club on Saturday and I saw a flyer about the Stanford Cat Network. I looked up their website and looked at the cats available for adoption. Well I fell in love with an 8 month old male DSH kitty named Flint. :) I know that I had mentioned earlier that I wanted to adopt another young male cat some time during the summer but I just fell in love with this cat. :) I filled out an online application so some one will still need to contact me. I sure hope that he's still available. :) Here's a picture of Flint.

The information says that Flint is a beautiful cat resembling an occicat or bengal with spotted and striped markings. He moves like a tiger, very fluid and graceful. Flint would really like to have a feline friend, he loves to play with other cats and may be lonely on his own. He loves to be brushed and to play.
Indoor only.
Wish me luck. :) I'm trying not to get my hopes up though because he may already be adopted or they may reject my application.

If they reject someone as caring as you, they need their heads read. Good luck with adopting Flint, I hope he's still available :) Judging by his description, he sounds absolutely perfect for you :)

Awww Flint is ADORABLE!! I just love the markings. It sounds like he has a sweet personality too. I really hope he ends up with you. We all know he will have the best home there is with you. :)
p.s. Miss Meow I just *love* your new siggy! :D

Amen to that!!! GOOD LUCK!
If he's already been adopted, then it just wasn't meant to be this time but there is a little soul out there just waiting for you :)
Aw, he seems like a lovely new cat for you! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, he couldn't get a better home than yours :)

Good luck with Flint, he's very beautiful and sounds perfect for you.
Flint sounds perfect and I am so happy for you and will keep my fingers crossed! I recently went through the waiting that you are experiencing now, when I filled out an application for Ripley. I know what you are going through! I also wasn't planning to adopt another dog until at least the spring and wasn't planning to look around until then, but Ripley came into my life a little ahead of schedule! I agree with Aly though. If it is meant to be it will work out. If not, another special little boy is probably just around the corner. Having said all that, I hope you get him!!! :)

Oh, I sure hope you get him - he's beautiful! (He kind of reminds me of a kitty I know.......;) :D ) What a lovely picture of him, looking up from his cage with that "please give me a home" expression - I just melted when I saw it! Good luck!
p.s. Miss Meow, I second the compliment on your new signature pic - love those meezers!

Flint is wonderful. I am sure you will not be rejected, but it is true, he may be adopted. Some websites do not update as often as they could. But this means youe are ready NOW and will find that right new kitty even if it is not Flint. Best of luck

My thoughts exactly!!! If they have any doubts at all, all they need to see is the thread on poor Pepper to show how much you care about your kitties and what you're willing to go through for them.
I'm so happy you're ready for another kitty. I don't know about your weather out there, but here it seems like summer is a long way off yet, and Flint is just beautiful and sounds like he would fit right in with Storm and Sunny. I'm sure hoping you get him, but like Jen said, if you don't, I know there's another sweet boy out there just waiting for you to find him.
Good luck, and I just can't wait to hear if you got him! :)

Great news! I just received an e-mail from the lady that is taking care of Flint and he's still available. She said that I can meet him any day this week between 2-4pm. :D I just e-mailed her back and told her that I can meet him today. If everything works out then I may have a new cat tonight. :D I'm so excited. :D :D :D :D

KAK, I am so happy that you are getting a new cat!:)
I hope everything works out and that you get to bring Flint home soon.
I had a feeling you were going to get a new boy kitty sometime soon but for some reason I thought you would get a white one and name it something like Snowy to go with Storm and Sunny so you could have all weather related cats with S names!;)
But you know what kitty is right for you and your other two cats so I hope that it works out with Flint, he is a cutie!:)
Miss Meow! I love your new signature too!!! :D

I hope it works out for Flint and You!!!
Hugs to you and will be anxiously awaiting the news!!

Yeah, that"s an idea. hee hee
HOW SIMPLY EXCITING THAT A NEW KITTY WILL (NO DOUBT) BE GETTING A HOME!!!
Of course the names don't have to all have an "S", it could be Thunder or Raindrop or Blizzard or Hazy....oh now I am just being silly, I am just so happy!:D

Gosh, he is a cutie, hope you get him.
If he's already spoken for, there will be another one that will be just right.
When I went to adopt a kitty six years ago, we didn't have our other cat up to date on all of her shots so they wouldn't let us have the new one. So we got our cat to the vet and got all her shots. By the time we got back to the shelter that kitty had already beed adopted so we adopted Sidney instead.
Now I can't imagine my days without him:)
I wonder if you've got him yet!!! Are you going to keep his name or rename him? I am so EXCITED! Can't wait for an update!

This thread alone is a reference check for Tracey! :)
Hopefully she's on her way home with Flint {{{paws crossed}}}
Oh where Oh where can Tracey be???? Maybe she's too busy with her new kitty!!! :D *fingers crossed*

Well I have great news. :D I adopted Flint this afternoon and he's now home with me and his two new brothers. :) He's a very large cat and since he's only 8 months old he'll probably get even bigger. He's about the size of Storm and probably weighs about 13-15lbs. He's absolutely gorgeous but I think he'll bond with my cats before he bonds with me. He has had a bad start in life but now his luck is about to change for the better. :) I want to wait to take pics of him because I don't want to scare him right now. I'm going to start another thread about his story so look for it in cat general. Thanks for all of the good luck wishes. :)

Yippeee!!! I knew we'd have a new kitty here at Pet Talk! ;) :D
Congratulations, Tracey. And a very big warm welcome to Flint! I too can't wait for pictures, but I think it's a good idea to let him settle in a little first - see, you're such a good kitty mom. :)
8 months old he'll probably get even bigger. He's about the size of Storm and probably weighs about 13-15lbs.
Wow!
:eek: :eek: He's as big as Storm, and 13-15 lbs....and only 8 months old!!! He is going to be a big one. :D
