I Adopted Salty!!!

I couldn't stop thinking about Salty the kitty at the Humane Society since I first saw her last Sunday. I am lucky she wasn't adopted in the mean time....I stopped by after work today and ended up spending 3 hours there! I had lots of quality time with her and dh came during the last half hour to see her, too. I wish I could adopt all the cats....but I had to choose one, and Salty's won my heart. Her and that cute stub of a tail! ;-)

She had only been there since June 2 and had gotten spayed on June 4. They couldn't tell me what had become of her kittens. I was told it's stressful coming there for cats & she may have lost them. I wish someone knew for sure. Maybe she had them prior to being given up by her previous owners. I have paid for her and have her papers, but I had to leave her with them until tomorrow after work since I had to come home and get a bedroom all ready for her and I needed to buy supplies/toys/etc. I will keep her in her own room for awhile until I can gradually introduce her to my other 3 cats. They said I should be careful of her sutures from her surgery until June 14. I am still pondering a different name for her. She's a black tortie...so Salty doesn't make a lot of sense to me. She doesn't seem to respond much to that name, either. Any suggestions?

Her photo was just posted on the Humane Society website....I'm glad I got her before someone else did. It's not the best photo they could have taken....you can see her shaved fur from the surgery a bit and she looks sooo skinny. But she's still my beautiful little girl! I don't know how long she'll be on this site, but here is where her photo was as of tonight:

I also copied the photo into my webiste:

I will post a new photo of her once she's home tomorrow night.

Thank you everyone again for all your support & encouragement in helping me to follow my heart and adopt my Salty! I'm soooo excited! :-)

Hugs,

Suzy
