So my trip to a BARCS event at Petco paid off. I came home with a beautiful little girl that we've named Ember, or Emmie for short and an energetic little boy named, Bolt.
Aww, thanks, I seriously felt a bond with those ladies the moment I walked in. Though, I could never do what they do and balance the other parts of my life at the same time. I can't even imagine the heart ache and the anger they must feel on a regular basis. I listened to the stories of how the litters were found or how one kitten reminded them of a kitten that had died and so on, really heart breaking stuff. It's probably amazing that I'm only walking away from this experience with three kittens and not more but, I want to make sure that I have the room/finances/attention to give them so I figured three was probably the most I could reasonably get away with but, man if I hit the lottery, whew, Cat Ranch here I come.
The One Eyed Kitten was obviously not in the plan. But, I couldn't stop thinking about her and how much it pissed me off that she will go the rest of her life without an eye because some jackass bastard left a box of kittens to rot. I'm not sure what adoption statistics are like but, based on her popularity at the event, her adoption prospects were not looking good. But, she will be happy here, I just hope she does ok through her surgery and eye closure because she is ridiculously tiny, she fit in the palm of my hand and she's basically the same age as the other two kittens I adopted.
