That is a very nice story
I hope everything works out well and you get to keep it forever!
We would really like to see pictures of your kitty- posting them is easy if you have a scanner or d. camara (I think there are instructions here at the Pet Talk web page somewhere).

BTW, you posted in the dog section, so you might want to put your post in with the cat stuff where more 'cat people' will see it Everyone there LOVES to see new kitties.
Good Luck with your new kitty, and let us all know how it goes.
