weeellll it's not how I got my Boomer, but it is an amazing story!
However it may not be for the faint of heart!


I was at the mall with my hubby's Mom one day and we happened to walk in the petstore just as a woman and her daughter were leaving. The place was crazy with commotion and we hurried into the petstore to get the story and it turns out that these two women had come in saying that they had a tub full of kittens to get rid of. Sadly, the store didn't have any room and told them that. This ticked of this lady and her daughter and they just walked away saying that they would just let them go in the parking lot!! The petstore told us that there was nothing they could do! So Carol (my mother in law) chased after these people to see if they really meant to release them. Sadly, they said they did. They gave us some piece of crap story about how the daughter was starting college that day and their cat "somehow managed to get pregnant" and they didn't want them. They said they weren't there responsibility and that the pet store should have taken them. So we followed them to their can, on a very hot day, mind you, and they opened the door and pulled out a long tupperware container with a towel stuck at one end to allow air to get in. Inside this dirty container were 8 (if I remember correctly) of the smallest little kittens I have ever seen. It was obvious that these kittens had been in these deplorable conditions for a while as much of the inside of the box was covered in dairrhea and the like. The little tiny meows were so sad They kept saying that they were just going to leave them there in the parking lot we didn't know what we could do with the kittens either, but couldn't bare to make the kittens suffer through another moment with these irresponsible people who IMHO deserve to be castrated or worse *ahem* So they said we could take them and were "kind" enough to let us keep the container that the kittens were in. So anyway, we took the kittens and brought them by my home to show my mom and then over to a friend of Carol's to show her. Once we got back to my house I had to leave, but Carol took the kittens back to her home and with the help of my sister in law got them all cleaned up and bathed. I'm not sure who exactly the kittens were given out to, but I know that they all were welcomed into loving homes. One of the kittens is now living with my sister in law and my brother. Meet Oreo:

So that is our story, In retrospect I wish that I had said more or at least gotten the license plate number and reported them. It all happened so suddenly that there wasn't much time to process what was actually happening.
