I got Sweetness, an American Shorthair from a woman in New Jersey who uses the cats for cat shows, then euthanizes the perfectly healthy feline. I got Molly (Who's a boy ** too furry**) from my brother's teacher who had to get rid of her cat's kittens. I got Hannah from a shelter where they kill. My mom told me to go in there and pick the 'ugliest' cat, which I thought I did, but I guess she was the cutest. She also climbed the fence when I was walking by which greatly influenced my decision. Then, there's L.i.B.B.K...(Stands for Little Iddy Biddy Baby Kitty) who was found around my house, refusing to leave once I fed her... which is what I was hoping so my mom had no choice but to let me keep her.
And Simon, my mom's friend got at an animal shelter where they kill. They refused to adopt him out because he was too 'mean.' My mom's friend said unless they wanted news reporters in there, they best let him have the cat.
