We just adopted a nice boy a little over a year old. Got dumped at the pound because his family moved.😿 I had to run into pet store for litter because we were going out of town for work for a few days. He was staring at me from his cage (adoption event). The nice volunteers offered to take him home for 6 days until we got back. Turns out one of them lives around the corner from us. So we not only got a new kitty, we got a new friend, too.
