I adopted a cat!

Looking around my apartment, all I could think was "This place sure is lonely." So I went on Petfinder.com just to "look". That's when I saw the most beautiful cat I have ever seen in my life.

He was a tabby cat with big green eyes. He was HUGE. I loved him instantly. I had to go down and see him in person. So that weekend I drove up to the New Hampshire Petsmart to see this cat. I knew that if he was there I was going to instantly put my name down for adoption. I even knew what I was going to name him. When I first saw him the name 'Troy' just came to me.

When I got to the pet store I saw they had several cats available for adoption. When I was waiting for someone to help me I went over to glass wall where all the cats were. I went up to where I saw two giant white paws sticking out of a box. I have never seen paws like that. They were massive and so furry. But as I was admiring that cat, the woman from the shelter asked if I needed anything. I asked to see the cat that I feel in love with online.

"I'm sorry he has been adopted already."

Not going to lie, I was heartbroken. I was going to just leave but then she asked if I was interested in any other cat. I thought about the large white paws and asked about that cat. I have never seen a cat like that and was curious.

"Oh, that is Topaz! She is a such a lovable cat! She is calm, sweet and loves to cuddle!"

I wasn't sold on the idea to adopt a girl cat since I grew up with all male animals. But then the woman told me that she was found alone on the streets during the Winter and was not eatting because she was afraid of the other cats. I went in to pet her and she was so unbelivably soft. I am afraid of cats bitting or straching me but she was very gentle and purred. Having felt abandomed by someone I loved and feeling afraid of my new life, I knew I wanted her. We needed to stick together in this crazy world.

So the papers where signed and I got to bring her home! I renamed her Aerith (air-ith). She soon came out of her shell to be one of the most loudest, sweetest, irritating, loving, hyper, and craziest cat I have ever met. But I love her and no matter how much she annoyes me, I wouldn't give her up!
