In this corner, wearing a tortoiseshell coat.
Weighing in at a sleek 6Lbs.
On death row because of no room at the shelter.
Ended up traveling 969 miles, 19 hrs...
From sunny Orlando FL to cold and dreary Red Lion, PA...
It's... Ari-E-L!

Yes, I'm not sure if I was crazy or stupid.
I cut my kayak trip short 2 days in the GA, Okefenokee Swamp to travel back to Orlando to pick up a cat named Ariel.
By very strange events it led me to find the Orlando Cat Cafe. My wife and I went on 2/21. We met Ariel and I knew right away she was special.
Bringing a cat from FL to PA - don't be silly.
My wife flies home 2/22 and I start my kayak trip.
Well more strange events occur 2/26 which leads me calling and asking questions about Ariel and the adoption process which was done over the phone as I was 4 hrs away.... Long story short I pick up Ariel 3/1 and now she's at her forever home.
Trip home was super smooth. I had visions of a complete disaster. I blocked off the whole back of the car so she could have all that area.
She pretty much just sat on the seat the first 4 or 5 hrs of the trip.
The remaining time was at the back window watching everything around her.

Calling tomorrow to get an appointment with my vet to get her all checked out. Once clear I can start the introduction process with Buddy.

Awww... she's beautiful. And very lucky to be adopted by your family. Just looking at the back seat car setup you made for her tells me she's going to be spoiled. That, and of course, the fact you cut your kayak trip short, and traveled 19 hours to get her and bring her home. :catman: :hearthrob: :catrub:

When it's right, it's right. Congratulations on the new baby! She's got a super gotcha story now, too. :redcat:
