If you remember the thread about the shelter kitties, I posted pictures of some of them.

Well, I called the shelter today to borrow a trap and Lora (the ACO) asked me if I was still interested in adopting Pinkie, the 16 year old kitty. She told me that no one would adopt a cat THAT old. My feeling is that because they needed the cage space, they were going to euthanize her, although she didn't come right out and say that.

So, here's my newest little girl. She's in my spare room sleeping in the kitty tent, getting used to her surroundings. She's a real lovebug and purrs the minute you pick her up. Although she's very shy, I think being in a cage 24/7 at the shelter also depressed her. She loves having her belly rubbed and kneads when I do. How anyone could give this precious girl angers me so. But their loss is my gain. Her name is Miss Pinkie Lee.

I am now the proud servant of this beautiful "older" lady.
