The odds were in our favor for one of the kittens we applied for!
We discussed it a lot (re: a new kitten), and between the two of us, we'd filled out about 4 separate applications, heh.
(It's a bit competitive in our area for adopting dogs/cats/small animals/farm animals - which is good but also tricky.)
It tugs my heart strings to unpack and dust off our old cat's stuff. It's been almost a year since he passed. But it makes me happy we held onto it all. I'd like to think he'd approve. 🐱
