What A Way To End A Day At Work
After lunch I had a lady walk up to my desk and ask if I foster cats/kittens. I told her no and she replied with "well aren't you the cat lady here at work"? I said yes, you can call me that but I TNR them (and explained to her what TNR is) and I just return them. She proceeded to tell me she and another lady found a "tame" cat in the bushes at work and they didn't know what to do with it. I put the phones on hold and walked out with them to the cat. Oh my what a handsome fellow and so nice. He reminded me of our RIP Porch. I got him some food from my car and we carried him to their work area where they shut him in an empty office.
In the meantime I gave them a list of no-kill shelters, which she proceeded to call, and I started e-mailing people I knew. Of course the answer was all the shelters were full so they were opting for the Humane Society :( (which is a kill shelter here). Then the best thing happened. A friend walked up to my desk that rarely ever comes into my office. I asked her if she wanted a cat and she hesitated then said no. I said what about your mom (she had mentioned her mom wanting a cat a while back)? She went over, looked at the guy, and took him! :D The funny thing is we had no carrier so we took a box with a lid on it so she could carry him to her car. He jumped in the box, laid down, and never stirred when they placed the lid on. I think it was meant to be!
I can now start out my weekend with a smile!!
