Drake has been adopted. As I mentioned last week he had date ( viewing). His potential Adoptive parent came in and instantly fell in love. Drake was mutually enamored. As soon as they met he hugged her leg and sat on her foot. After some cuddles and treats and a few instructions about introducing animals it was decided. Drake left on Sunday to his new home on a farm. He will have other cats and dogs to play with and lots of interesting things such as horses to look as out the windows. Lucky little guy. Though I will miss him it make me happy to know he is going to such a great home.
Maybelle also had a date this week. A lovely couple came to meet her. They crawled on the floor has she hid under the bedside table, and petted her and tried to get her to play. After about 20 minutes, with me chatting with them and sharing how I deal with a shy cat, I took her out of her hiding place and we pet her on the bed. She became more inquisitive ,staying glued to my leg. She looked around, ate treats and purred up a storm. They decided not to adopt her as they wanted a more instantly friendly and less shy kitty friend for them and their 14 year old cat. After the viewing Maybelle became a little more friendly and interactive. So even non-matches can be beneficial. I know we will find her the perfect home.
