Before I got Remus, I never had a cat of my own. My parents had cats when I was younger, but I never was really "attached" to them. A few summers ago, I worked at a pet store that adopted out kitties from the local shelters. One of my primary jobs was to take care of the cats. I really developed a liking for them, and got atached to some of the "old timers" (One cat had been there since the store opened, she was about 12 yrs old and no one wanted to adopt her. Just after I left, someone finaly gave her a furrever home). Those cats got me into some sirious trouble though! One night, my boss told me to let them all run around and she would cage them up the next morning. I scooped the boxes and fed them all and locked up for the night. The next day I got written up for cat food and litter being all over the floor no one thought to ask the cats!!

I wanted to adopt one but my parents wouldnt let me. My MIL adopted a grey maine coon, Isabo, from there. (soon Isabo will be coming to live at my house!)

After I moved out, I still wanted a kitty but was unsure of even how to care for a cat! PT was really helpful (thanks guys!) and still is! While I was thinking about visiting the local shelter, I had a dream about going there and finding a kitten named Remus. The next day, I went to the shelter to look around. I was about to leave and think about the kitties I saw (Trying to figure out who would work out best in my home) and I saw my little dork butt trying to get to the front of the cage and he tripped over his brother and landed face first in the water dish! I knew he was the right kitty for me! I asked the shelter people when he would be available, they told me to come back the next day to fill out the papers to get him fixed and such and I would pick him up on monday (I was going in on saturday) after he was fixed. Turns out the shelter needed the space and sent me home with him on saturday . I had no carrier with me, no litterbox or food or anything! I drove home with him laying on the dash of my car and put him on the bed and told my just waking up husband that he neede to watch the cat for about 20 min while I did some shopping!
I love my Remus bum! I do believe he was the one that found me, I didn't find him.
