A few weeks ago, I thought it’s time ~ time to adopt a cat. It has been more than a year since my beloved cat died and for me, I could not get another cat immediately. In the past, friends have always found a cat for me, but not this time.

I looked online at the local Humane Society and picked 3 cats I’d like to meet, and drove there. The Humane Society was very crowded as they were having a special on adoption prices as they had so many available cats and dogs. As I waited, I saw one of the volunteers taking a few people about to see the cats and I joined them.

I saw one of the cats I had picked (very cute – looked like the online photo) and was about to look at another when the volunteer motioned me over to meet “Cherry.”

It was love at first sight … she’s beautiful & seems so sweet… How did I miss her on the web site and not have her as one of my three choices?

I left that area and returned to the main room, waiting … hoping that when I was called, “Cherry” would still be available. I was already thinking of her as Sabrina. I looked at the site again and realized that it was not a very good photo ~ no wonder I passed her by. When I was called, Sabrina was available!

Hurrah ~ Need I say how happy I was. All I know about Sabrina is that she spent two weeks at the Humane Society, is 7 years old (though I wonder — she runs about like a much younger cat!) and not much else.

We are having fun getting to know each other …Sabrina likes to race about … 5 AM breakfast (a bit early – will work on that!) … is fascinated by the squirrels and birds … loves shoe laces …and of course, wants to explore every area of 0ur home. Some small barricades work, others don’t! Now, she is napping in the living room as I type this … she is a joy and there will be other posts and photos about playful Sabrina.

Your house will always be blessed with love, laughter and friendship if you have a cat ~ Lewis Carrol
