Today, Adam and I took a short trip to the SPCA of Orlando near the Mall at Millennia. Most recently, I've missed Loverboy being indoors. Since he's a primarily outdoor cat, he's never inside for very long before he's eager to dash away to stalk birds and mice. At least he doesn't bring home prey anymore. No wonder I've noticed an abundance of chirping and fluttering outside my leisure room window!
There were a lot of kittens, some as young as six weeks old. We said hello to and petted every cat, even in a kitteh playroom! I didn't want to make any decisions today, but instead just kind of get familiar with the animals they have at the SPCA and narrow the idea of what kind of cat we'd be looking for. By next week we'll probably make a final decision, if any, on a cat older than 18 weeks but younger than two years old. One major concern is that we have to get a cat that will get along with Loverboy.
Adam got along with all the cats really, but definitely with a Maine Coon mix named Rocket that I can remember, and I was captivated by two Domestic Short Hairs that demanded being constantly scratched behind the ears. There were a few kittens whose cuteness had me torn three different ways. lol
We cruised through the dog kennels on a lark while we were there, and were surprised to see a few Siberian Husky mixes up for adoption. There were a lot of Pitbull mixes, a few Labs, and one seven and a half year old Miniature Doberman Pincher. The poor little guy already had gray around his muzzle, and looked like he needed a nice soft pillow and some love.
We'll take our time and see what we come up with. I do know that if we get an exclusively indoor kitteh, then I'll have to double-up on my cleaning habits to keep up the house as I do now to keep Adam's allergies at bay.
