Hi all,
I've been joining in on some of the fun games and polls, but was waiting to do an official "hello" until my new kitty came home and we got some pictures to share.
My name is Joanne. I'm 27 and live in San Diego with my husband and our new kitten, Chloe. We adopted Chloe on 12.31.04 but had to wait until 1.9.05 to bring her home from her foster mom's house. Talk about the longest wait ever! But now she's home and we're so glad!
We found out about a local no-kill rescue organization called Cat AdopTion Service (CATS) via petfinder.com. One of the foster moms from their organization captured and rescued a feral cat and her (second) litter. Chloe's brothers were adopted out together, leaving Chloe on her own. Since Chloe doesn't do well around other cats we were able to adopt her because we had no other pets and were looking for one special kitty we could devote our attention toward.
Despite being a bit shy and jumpy, she's smart and adventurous. We're getting a real kick out of her.
Thanks for being so kind and welcoming in my first week on the board. I heard about this site from another message board I use and they were absolutely right - you are all so nice and helpful!
Here are a few pictures of my new little sweetheart.
