Just a quick post even though I haven't posted in a bit of a while, holidays were enjoyed, birthday tea was consumed in mass quantaties (such that I was up until 3:00 a.m. even though most people left by 7:00), and for my birthday V decided I should have a new kitten since I have been talking about Stalin needing a new friend and how he would not appreciate if that new friend was a dog. Anyway, since you can't just go out and acquire a cat these days, I have a gift certificate of sorts to pick out a cat that I want.
I looked at some cat rescue pages and made a couple inquiries but the adoption process is quite cumbersome. Can't I just find a nice homeless kitty on the street and bring it home with me? Apparently not. In fact it seems one must pay a couple hundred dollars or so (all told) for the privilege of taking a homeless cat off the hands of the state/county.
But before any of that, Stalin's got to get a full bill of health with all his proper shots and checks and what nots. The vet staff loved him as every place does, the first lab tests they got back on his "senior work-up" showed he was anemic - I was worried cause of Mary last year. They had me bring him back for a follow up test and I got the results back today which show that he is actually fine and the first test was a sample error. Yay! Now he just needs a $500 teeth cleaning and he'll be good to go. le sigh.
If anyone does know of any cats/kittens that are in need of a new home drop me a line - I've got some requirements but I'm open to possibilities :)
