I told her that I may have to adopt another cat sooner rather than later, regardless of my own grief I couldn't allow my other cat to spend his days wondering around looking for his friend. I was approved to adopt, and I went to meet the cats at the shelter. They told me all about the cats there and which ones would fit best for my home. After meeting a few of
