Gracie and Coconut


They're finally home!  Our two newest additions to our family are home from the vet.  It's been a busy week for them....and for us.  Our journey started on Saturday night when we were shopping at Petsmart for algae wafers for our pleco.  We were making our usual rounds.  Fish, birds, turtles, hamsters and cats.  Whiles looking at the cats, we noticed one cat imparticular, Pottsie.  It was love at first sight.  We went back later that day to meet him and two other cats.  We decided to fill out an application for adoption for Twice the Love.  Twice the Love is a program offered by the Humane Society that lets you adopt two cats for the price of one.  On Monday, we got the call that we were approved for adoption.  But, Pottsie didn't qualify because our landlord requires all cats to be declawed and spayed/neutered.  Pottsie was over 1 year old and he was too old for declawing.  We were heartbroken.  But, we decided to go down to the Humane Society and look at the other cats that would qualify.  There we met Gracie and Coconut.  We fell in love once again.  We knew they belonged in our home.  We told them right away that we wanted to adopt them.  So, we found a vet that could get them both in right away for their operations and we dropped them off on Tuesday night.  This afternoon we picked them up and brought them home.  They are doing great!  Gracie is full of energy and just wants to play.  Coconut is more laid back and wants to snuggle and love.  We think they will make a great addition to our family.

  1. that's awesome. you shouldn't buy animals from petstores in general anyway, but it sounds like that guy wasn't a kitty mill kitty. Sorry you couldn't get your first choice, but I'm sure somebody had a plan for you all along :) I hope that this is the beginning of a love of a lifetime for Miles :) Get ready for a lot of work and very little sleep! LOL
