Kitty Powers

The Powers family are now the proud owners of a kitty cat!!! I went to KC yesterday to pick up the little guy from the shelter that he has called home for the last year, and we made it back home today at about 4. Even though we've only been actively looking for a cat for a short time, it felt like it was forever! It just makes us all that much more grateful that we found our little boy in the end :)
It's so funny that we ended up finding him at a shelter after all. Since we needed a hypoallergenic breed, I figured there was a slim-to-none chance of finding one at a shelter. I then turned to a person who said they had a kitten to sell, and would ship to us (they were in FL). We thought that it sounded great, and went ahead with it. In the end, it turned out to all be a scam centered around an imaginary kitten. Our collective hearts were broken. The idea that we had lost money didn't even compare to the feeling of disappointment, confusion and plain old anger.
Several days later, on a whim, I called a shelter about a potential kitten. This kitten had just been adopted out, but there was another slightly older cat that needed a home :)
We were all excited, but were trying to not put the horse in front of the cart (I had to explain that one to Jolee the other day LOL). After some correspondence with his "Mommy", we realized that we would be bringing this little boy home! YAY!
As of right now, he is still in Brady's room getting aclimated to his new surroundings. The kids don't quite understand that cats are different than dogs, and may not be as interactive at first. We are all so in love! I'll keep everyone updated!
PS- His name is Rio, but were still debating on if that will stay...
