PS we totally understand if Wilma is spoken for - she's got such a face! "
Well, then. If ever there was a kitten who is ideal for two small children, and older, lonely kitty and a husky/greyhound mix (Can you imagine?!), it's our dearest Wilma Rudolph.
The meeting was arranged for Saturday at the shelter. I introduced myself to mom, then to dad. Mom gestured to the seriously cute young man at her side saying, "This is Mac." I bent down, put out my hand and said, "Hi Mac!" His words to me - "I love Wilma!"
I had the entire brood with me as there had been another family meeting the kittens earlier in the day. Since they were all there, I asked whether they wanted to meet only Wilma, or all of the kitties. Mac said he would like to meet them all. And so they did.
I set them up in our Executive Director's office. She generously offers her space on busy days when the two visitation rooms aren't enough. And since there were eight kittens (!) we needed a bit more room.
Mac and the other darling boy who I assume was his brother spent some time along with mom and dad with Wilma, Midge and all the Costellos. I popped my head in now and then. Wilma on mom's lap. Wilma on dad's shoulder. Really, the decision had already been made.
Wilma was off to her new home. I think this was a perfect adoption.
Goodbye beautiful. You're a special one you are. Kitten perfection.
Sue I agree - She is Kitten Perfection!!
ReplyDeleteYay for Wilma sounds like she has a perfect family too!
Hooray for Wilma and Mac and the whole family!! Sounds like a perfect match. She'll have tons of love and attention and many playmates.
ReplyDeleteGoodbye sweetheart, we'll miss you.
Bye, Little Wilma. Sounds like you are going to a very good home, you deserve nothing less! Drop us a line sometime...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lil thing. She really does look perfect! I just know her new family will love her.
ReplyDeleteHooray for Wilma and her lucky family!
ReplyDeleteOh that is so sweet! She will be so loved and have so many playmates. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy, Happy, Joy, Joy! Wilma just got the best Christmas present ever!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just love it when a kitty that could be described in ordinary ways because of color etc, is, when you see her, simply spectacularly beautiful. Blessings Wilma and family! Thank you, Sue!
ReplyDeleteYay for Wilma and her new family - indeed, this adoption was meant to be. Please write when you can, sweet kitten!
ReplyDelete"I love Wilma" -- that made me cry!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so heartwarming. And seriously, what in blue blazes does a husky/greyhound mix look like?????!!!!! Can they send a photo?
ReplyDeleteHooray for Wilma! Do the others have some possible adopters?
ReplyDeleteCongrats Wilma and her new family!
ReplyDeletei love it when it is meant to be. Sometimes it is so obvious you can't help but smile.
ReplyDeleteOh good! She's a special one. I think she'll have fun with the dog. :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful news for Wilma!
ReplyDeleteChristmas came early for her beautiful self. Sounds like she was inspecting prospective perches as she introduced herself.
I too am curious about the husky/greyhound cross...just can't imagin anything but a greyhound with a HUGE floofy husky tail and a bit of a face mask.....odd
How in the wide world did you not just fall out when the first words Mac said were "I love Wilma"? How precious is that? Kiddos tell it like it is!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see Wilma is now a part of such a wonderful family
Awww, what a sweet story for a sweet baby girl! Have a fantastic life with your loving buddy Mac and the rest of your perfect forever family, adorable Wilma!
