My
fiance and I decided that we had finally started our life together in
our own place and they allowed pets. Having both come from houses full
of dogs and cats over the course of growing up, we decided on a cat to
start due to the independence factor and our busy schedules. We looked
online for older cats at a shelter near where we grew up, and found
several that seemed like they might be what we were looking to adopt. I
called the shelter and searched the pictures, and found one that just
seemed like "the one" based on what the shelter said. They gave all
three of these cats the distinction “Lonely Hearts”, cats that for some
reason just couldn't find owners, and had been passed over time and time
again.
Three days before I was due to meet her, my
family called to say that she was gone off the shelter's site! I was
heartbroken, but investigating revealed that she had been moved to the
shelter's other location. We changed plans and went to meet her the next
day. She was very sad and scared, stuck in quarantine due to a "Kitty
Cold" outbreak near her. We spent only a few minutes with her and
wondered if we had made the right choice picking her.
This
cat is the most adoring, curious, smart, loving and adorable I have
seen. She is the highlight of our day, and did I mention smart?
Seriously, she learns so fast you wonder if it’s a fluke! Don’t get me
wrong it’s not all sunshine and roses, but even her “quirks” are
becoming a part of our love for her (and her for us!). She cracks us up
with her "lady-like" behavior and even looks like she walks in high
heels! I feel bad for whoever had to give her up, but adopting her is
the best decision we've made in a long time. Their loss was most
definitely our gain, and she continues to amaze and amuse us each and
every day. Jessica's Heart is most definitely not Lonely anymore!
