Here's the happy ending story of Riley & Sam (formerly Jr. & Bud): ![]() About a month ago, we had to have our beloved 17-year-old cat, Macy put to sleep. We were all so sad to see her go but knew that it was her time. Our two 12 year olds, Mallory & Jake, soon asked if we would ever get another cat. So, I decided to do some searching online and found TLC Animal Shelter. I kept going to the website and looking at all the adorable cats and kittens. I decided that on their last day of 6th grade, we would go after school and pick out a cat or kitten. Our cat, Macy was 5 years old when the kids were born so they had never had the experience of a kitten! Mallory kept saying that she wanted to find a playful one, Jake kept saying that he wanted a sweet affectionate one that would curl up on the end of his bed like Macy used to do everynight. So, off we went to TLC to find the perfect cat to complete our family. There were lots and lots of kittens and cats. Two in one cage were especially captivating to us. So, we got both of them out (not realizing that they were siblings) and snuggled with them and fell in love with both of them. We asked the girl if she could find their "story" and she left to get their files. While she was gone, we were trying to decide which one we would take because they were both SO sweet! When she returned, she told us that they were siblings and needed to go together! She told us that their home had an allergic person moving in and that's why they had to be given up. I (being the adult there) tried to put them down and disconnect myself from them, asking to hold another one of the kittens. The girl was gone a long time and when she came back and asked which kitten we wanted to hold, we told her we would take both of the cats we were holding. I had called my husband on my cell phone and he had said that we really don't need two cats but that I needed to make the decision since I was "the adult there"! ![]() ![]() We just want the previous owner of these wonderful cats to know that we will love them for years on end. We will take good care of them and never, ever give them away. Once we commit to an animal in our family, they are home for life. Thank you for sharing these beautiful, wonderful, sweet kitties with us! The Furey Family |
