Hi everyone
I hope you don't mind me coming on here and telling you all, but I'm so excited I need to share!!
We have just decided today that we are getting a new cat for definite, and we met 'the one' today.
We have been talking about getting a new kitty for a while, as our current cat Bella (4) gets on so nicely with the other cats that live here that we would love for her to have a housemate.
We decided for sure we wanted to be a 2 cat household just before we went to Florida, and while we were away we watched an epsiode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse where they all had a pet. Donald had a chicken named Boo Boo Chicken, which we found super cute and decided that Boo would be the name of our new cat once we'd chosen one!
Well, since I got back I have been checking the local Cat's Protection League website, at that's we get all of our cats from. And last monday I logged on, and to my surprise a little cat called Boo had been added over the weekend!!!
I was so excited that I phoned CPL immediately and started the ball rolling.
After a few phone calls we had our house visit and interview yesterday, and then today the lady rang saying we could have any cat we fancied (as long as it could live with other cats) but she was really keen on us meeting Boo. So we went to see him today.
The poor little guy has been through so much (was found with 2 broken legs where someone has kicked/stamped on him, but surgery has helped a lot), for someone who not even 5 months old. And although his legs point out the wrong way and he has a bit of a funny limp, he is so sweet and friendly and super confident and cheeky!
He is on cage rest as he is still on the mend, but as soon as his foster mum opened his cage up today he climbed out and onto me and gave me a big kiss on my face and purred the loudest purr, then did the same to Jack.
We spent an hour playing with him, and have fallen in love!! I'm hoping to update with photos (if they came out ok, as he didn't stay still for one second today so all might be a bit fuzzy) and any extra news I get.
Please all keep your fingers crossed his little leg has healed ok, or he might have to have it amputated.
He has an x-ray on monday to see how the one leg that's still not 100% is, but hopefully it'll be good news and he will be home with us soon, ready to cause Bella some torment and grow to be a big spoiled boy with us.
