And just like that,... it's now a home.

As you can see by the pictures,... I got my cat. But she didn't come the way I expected her too. The cat organization I was trying to work with was just not panning out. If I had gone with them,... it would have cost me $250 for the cat as well as about $150 in taxi fares - TWICE - bringing the total to $550 ~ just to get a cat.

So I was really disappointed. I wanted to give up on the idea altogether and just sell the stuff I had bought already for her and move on. But I decided to check Kijiji before I gave up. Most of the cats on there are purebreds costing over $1000. But there were others,... and the one that caught my eye was "Luna". A 6 week old kitten. The person was asking $80 for her which I found very reasonable so I called her. Within the hour she was mine. I explained to the woman I had no car and was having trouble picking up a cat. She lived in Fergus too and DROVE the kitten to me!!! It suited both of us as she wanted to see where her kitten was going. So after trying 2 'official' cat organizations where I just got the run-around - I ended up getting her on Kijiji and it only took an hour. When the woman heard it was my birthday tomorrow and she was my gift to myself, she waived the cost entirely and gave her to me for free! But now I will have the cost of spaying and the vets but thats ok with me as long as I got my cat.

The woman does not know her history. She found her. We think she is 6 weeks old but I really don't know. I made an appointment with the vet for next Thursday so I will get a better idea how old she is then. I didn't really want a kitten. I'm a senior and thought I was beyond the 'baby' stage. But she is so adorable and fun I am glad I got her. She is quite a personality and she has filled up my home with love and laughter. THIS is what I was missing,... another soul in my life.

I got no sleep last night but I don't even care. She has filled up my heart and home and I couldn't be happier.

I changed her name to "Molly May  Luna" (keeping her old name too). I have already run across the street to the dollar store and bought every cat toy they had. She is a going concern and very busy. But she has me laughing out loud which is something I haven't done in months.

Welcome Molly May,... lets hope we can both make each otheres lives better.
