My Gotcha Day!

May 22nd is my first Gotcha Day anniversary! Let's party!

Who could resist this ad on Craig's List? Look at my giant paws!
Mom had been searching for a new kitty and having the worst luck. Lots of hoops to jump through, or she'd be drawn to a kitty online only to find it was already adopted. She purayed to Angel Fin and Cod to help her find the right kitten. A sweet girl kitten. 

The next morning she randomly clicked on Craig's List and the first listing was for Free Long-Haired Kittens. She clicked on the picture with her heart racing and saw the picture above. Her fingers flew to respond that if I was a girl she wanted me. She could hardly wait to go and meet me. 

My rescuer Kacie had promised to find me and my furblings the best families. She Googled Mom's email address and found Fin's blog and book. Kacie had been heart broken about giving me up but was so happy that she would be able to watch me grow up from a far. She knew I would be loved by so many people. She still reads the blog to look after me too! ::Waves hi and purrs:: 

The vet had told Kacie I was a girl, and that is just what my parents needed to hear... They also heard my squeak and it sealed the deal. By the time they realized I was a boy I had already won them over. I had a home and a family who couldn't love me more. A very happy ending to a story that began with three scared and hungry kittens living outside under a door. 

A special cheer to all my human friends who help in big ways and small to rescue kitties like me and give them a happy life filled with love!!

Please enjoy the Gotchaversary e-snacks - but eat them quick or Greyson will eat your share... just meowin.

  11. Happy Gotcha Day, Quill! We can hardly believe it's already a year. Good thing your humans thought you were a girl, otherwise they might not have given you a chance. And we think it all worked out how it was meant to, in the end! :-)

  14. Oh happy Gotcha day Quill. We were so excited that you picked this wonderful family that you have chosen. I cannot believe it has been a whole year. Yikes. So have yourself a great day and tell Greyson to behave himself. Take care.

  15. Greyson, what a great Gotcha Day story. Even though you turned out to be a boy, your humans didn't mind. That means that you are in the purrfect home with the humans who are meant to watch over you your whole life long. Concatulations. Purrs and hugs from the kitties at The Cat on My Head, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
