personal (pet!) stuff under the cut

Me and my husband have been wanting to get a friend for our cat Radar for a while now. But Radar needed surgery first (and had a bit of a rough go with that) so we decided to wait until he was alright again to start looking for his friend. He’s officially on the mend now and back to being the purr monster I know and love so we’ve been cruising PetFinder recently. 

There are a few shelters in my area. One is hosted through the local PetSmart and I saw a cat there (orange, sweet,lovable), and decided that maybe this was ‘the one’. So hubs and I meet the cat and he’s wonderful. He loves being held. He gives hugs and kisses. He’s basically pure love with orange fur. How this sweet little creature survived an entire year as a stray is anybody’s guess. We start going through the adoption process, fill out the forms, chat with the volunteers, we go over his paperwork. They go to do their approvals and then about 10 minutes later we find out someone put in an adoption form before us. And that’s that. I relinquish the cat. We drive home.

I mean, on the plus side- he still got adopted! But I can’t say I’m not a little upset. Bad timing, I guess.
