Adoption

My husband Jeff and I have wanted to get a pet together for a while now. We decided we were going to wait until after we were married and then waited at least four months after that. We started thinking we should get a dog, but because of where we are in life getting a cat fit our lifestyle better. We live in an apartment with no backyard and we both work. We found Milo through a local Petsmart. He was being shown by a local organization called Forgotten Cats which rescues cats from the streets. I knew Milo was the one when we met him. He immediately rubbed against us and asked for petting. He is a majorly snuggly cat. The woman who took care of him said she could always count on him for a snuggle. A week later he was ours.

He was a little timid at first, spending most of his time in our closet. After a couple of days he ventured out and had the run of the apartment. Now he is everywhere. We took him to the vet the next week and found he had ear mites, fleas, and possibly worms. The vet started treating him on everything and now he is a very happy kitty. I tell him that he is a lucky kitty. He started out on the streets and now he has a family who feeds him, gives him lots of snuggles, and buys him too many toys.
