This past weekend, Austin and I visited the Kent Animal Shelter. We saw this kitten standing tall in his cage, just staring at us. We filled out an adoption application so we can hold him. We were sent to a room with scratching posts and chairs so that we can play with him. The volunteer placed him on the scrating post and the kitten jumped right on top of me! We took that as a GREAT sign! He walked around my shoulders and then curled up on my chest. He also jumped unto Austin's shoulders and chilled right behind his head.
There was another family that saw him before us and they wanted him. We told the volunteer that we were interested in him as well. So we had an animal officer come and talk to us. She left and came back with paperwork, saying that she got us a kitty!
She told the other family, since they already have 3 cats of their own, if they adopted this kitten, the kitten might spread ring worm to the other cats.
The shelter had a ring worm breakout, so they're being extra cautious! So that's how we adopted our kitten.
On our way home, we let our kitten out and he just chilled right on my shoulders all the way home. He loves to sit right behind your head while you're driving somewhere. We also talked about a name for him on our way home.
We thought about Jimmy, from the Office....didn't work. Austin's family used to have a cat that looked just like him, named Grayson. I liked it! So we named him Grayson!
Welcome to your new Family, Grayson!
Love him!! Don't let him scratch your furniture, or pee on stuff. Now we have more of a reason to come visit you! :)
