Well today Annie starts her brand new life in a forever home. A kindred cat friend had suggested she knew a couple who might want a kitten since they had recently lost their beloved 21-year old cat. The husband wanted to surprise his wife with the kitten but my friend and I were a little hesitant about that. My friend asked him if he was sure that would be a good idea and he assured my friend that having a new kitten to love was exactly what his wife needed to help heal her broken heart. I readily agreed to take Annie back into my fold if for any reason the adoption didn't "take".
My friend came to get Annie this afternoon. In fact, she just left a few minutes ago. I'm still misty-eyed over Annie's leaving but in my heart I know this is the very best thing that could have happened to this sweet little kitten who someone had so callously discarded. As Annie left my home, I hugged her and wished her a long and happy life with her new family. I know they'll love and care for her. This is exactly how a kitten rescue should end. I'm happy to have rescued this kitten and to have found a loving home for her. The family who adopted her will be happy to have a new companion, and my friend is happy that she could help in the adoption process. So if this is such a good thing (and it is), and everybody is happy about it, then why does it also feel as if my heart is breaking?

Hi Blondie - thank you for your sweet words. Annie seems to be adjusting well to her new home. She has two little doggies for playmates now and they're getting along fine I hear. Thank you for the prayer bandaid - I still miss the little furry . . . Kady
