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

Oh, I'm so glad you adopted her. She looks a lot like the siamese/tortie that I told you about. Good luck with her!

Congrats on the new furbaby! She is soooo cute - she looks like a thinner version of my Tasha! Poor thing looks so pathetic with all that fur shaved off, but it'll grow back obviously. Congrats again, and I'm sure the right name will come to you!

suzy~

i'm soooo happy for you! salty is beautiful!!! i wish that her transition to your home is a smooth one. as far as her name, if she doesn't respond to it, was she only given this name at the shelter? i'd say find a name starting with an "s", like maybe sassy?

keep posting pics of her because we'd all love to see them.
