I've decided that Mattie Grace and her kittens would have a much better chance of getting adopted if I brought her to the Grosse Ile Animal Shelter. This shelter is like no other I've seen. It's very bright and cheery. The cats have free roam while the shelter is open. They only go in their cages at night and to feed. I'm also a volunteer there so I can keep tabs on them.

I've had several calls from people wanting kittens. After wasting hours of time waiting for people to show up, they never do. Not even a phone call telling me they can't make it.

This is a no-kill shelter and the class of people that go there guarantee her and her babies quality homes.

I called the ACO this morning and it's all set. If for some reason she doesn't want to take in the mama, I'll take her back home with me.

Please don't be mad at me. This was a very difficult decision to make. But I feel that they will have a much better chance of getting great homes if they have more exposure at the shelter as opposed to being at my house waiting for the phone to ring.

I'll keep you posted.
