Yes, we got a tax rebate earlier in the week and I have been ringing the shelter hourly since Thursday, to see if Sooty still needed a home (Shelter is only offically open Saturday afternoons)

I had talked to the cat shelter about Caramel. The warden was trying to get us to swap Caramel for Treacle (Sooty), as if we would.

Sooty (Treacle) has been in the shelter since he was previously returned. A couple of people showed interest but the warden didn't feel they were the right homes for him.

The warden was so happy we came back for him. She told Sooty that I was a real mummy for him, not that nasty false one he had before (As he was adopted and returned after 1 week for no real reason).

She practically had tears in her eyes and kept, thanking us for returning and I was still puffy eyed from Caramel.

Today has been very emotional and very bittersweet.

I feel like I have been trapped on a scary rollercoaster.

I hope we will not be thought of badly for both letting Caramel move onto the RB and adopting Sooty on the same day.

It has not been easy day.

When we got home and we had settled Treacle (Sooty) into the spare room. I watched Max, Milly & Milo playing in the garden, in the long grass chasing flys. I hope that Caramel gets the same enjoyment at rainbow bridge, he deserves it.
