Just wanted to share my first ever cat on here!!!

I have become frequent visitor at my local animal shelter. Whenever i’m having a bad day, there’s nothing like petting a kitty to make me feel better! Since moving away for college, my bad days have become more and more frequent so through the last year I was at the shelter quite a lot. I saw kitties come and go, but Scarlett was there for a solid 6 months. I was always told that she doesn’t like people and prefers to hide away, so i focused on the other cats more. The other day, i had a really bad night so the next morning i decided to go visit the kitties. Another volunteer was cleaning scarlett’s cage and i asked if i could play with her while she was cleaning. She said that i could try, but that Scarlett was super shy and didn’t get along with other people. I stuck my hand in her cage and she immediately walked over and plopped her head in my hand. Lil baby just wanted some love!!!

I decided that I was chosen by the cat distribution system and needed to bring her home. She was sponsored since she was there for so long (over 2 years!!!) so that helped me with the costs of it all. Scarlett is cuddled up on my heated blanket right now with me and I can’t believe that no one else adopted her before me. I’m very lucky to have my first cat be such a sweetie!!!
