Almost a year ago now, we brought Bobby, our trikitty home. He's been such a wonderful addition to our family! We drove about 2 hours to the shelter he was at. . And when I saw that the shelter was doing an adoption event in my town, of course I had to go to say hi! I intended to make a Donation, say hi, and head to my dad's for the weekend. . Instead I came home with a 
:D. Yup. . Bob is a big brother to our new kitten, Jack. Named by my son. He had a start to life similar to Bob. While he has all of his legs, he had major surgery when he was only a few months old, to remove a polyp in the soft palette of his mouth. They saved him from essentially starving to death. And now or family is officially busting at the seams. Almost. :D.

Lori, so cute!!! This is the reason I do not visit shelters. I would Have to bring at least one home. I know I would be a foster failure also.myp, we understand crazy here. I have 3 pups and a cat in our house and 6 cats that live in my barn. Not mousers though, they go through a ton of cat food. LOL There are that many because people think barn= drop off center for kittens. I don't have the heart to take them to the shelter. I bet Bobby is happy for a playmate. Love the picture! Little guy looks like, not real sure about this. Hugs from Lori, Ty and the gang

She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
Oh boy do I know the feeling 
We added a little bit of crazy ourselves this weekend with a new pup....and ya know, all any of these guys need is a warm bed, a little bit of food and to be surrounded by compassion, and what they give in return is priceless. Congrats to you guys, he's one lucky kitty!!
