Gee I wish there were more people like you and your boyfriend. I have been a volunteer for a no kill shelter and now am with a no kill rescue and not to mention the number of people who abandon without even looking back, the number who adopt, after proper screening where they say how patient they will be etc. but then call us one or a few days later saying it's not working (cat hiding, not eating enough, cat hissed when they tried to pick them up, etc.) is very frustrating. As you said, it was worth the wait and now you have a wonderful friend in Margo and she has a loving home. Love these success stories - purrrfect! And thanks to gstradtman for donating to no kills - I assure you it is greatly appreciated.
