It's has been a hard couple years since MrsK passed, and I made the choice about LilBit( my challenged daughter) to go into state care.
About a month ago, my neighbor was here and said, " you need a dog or a cat," Seed planted.
Well I knew, a dog was out of the question, but I also love the kitties. So I made a few calls, found a remote cat place,( we have always adopted, other than LilBit's service dog). The admin spoke to me, listened to MY situation, and then asked me to call back in a few days.
This went on, until, last Thursday when the admin called me and said," can you come meet Gladys? She is 6 years old, quiet, but a bit, assertive. I said, ok."
Long story shorter,
Gladys is on my lap, as I type this, she has explored, ate, jumped on my lap, got my first kitty kiss
Only been 6 hours.
I thanks the admin, who listened,
Say hello to "LilGlad"


Edit, to add

This woman who runs the shelter, didn't charge me.
Not only, did she help LilGlad, she helped a Veteran. I left a donation. If you would like to thank her, just message me.
This woman is doing a big job, In a very small town.

[Permanut]

11. So they named your cat after my Mother..

She's been gone for some years, but she would have loved this. Or maybe she does.

Thanks for posting this, Kozar. Truly beautiful story.

16. Torties are the best

You two will be very happy together.

[pazzyanne]

51. Torties are the best!

They don't have attitude, they have tortitude or a strong, feisty personality.

28. Adult cats get overlooked in favor of cute kittens

Last edited Wed Apr 17, 2024, 06:26 PM - Edit history (1)

and that's a real mistake. Adult cats not only have learned a few manners pleasing to humans, they have enough wisdom to be grateful that a human has given them a comfy home and good food. I adopted adults and swore I'd never adopt another kitten.

Gladys has already decided you're good people. That puts you are ahead of the game.

[Sky Jewels]

41. The last time we had an opportunity to adopt from a shelter, we got a 9-year-old kitty.

Next time, I'll get an even older one. Older kitties need and deserve good homes.

[Katcat]

29. Wowza

What a beautiful kitty! I have one that looks similar to her and mine is fussy about everything. She didn’t get the name Miss Priss for nothing.😂

[Picaro]

30. Beautiful kitty

May you enjoy many years together.

[58Sunliner]

31. She's a boss!! Congratulations.

[vanlassie]

32. 😻😻😻😻😻

Yay!

[Ziggysmom]

33. Yeah! You're a cat daddy! Congratulations! She's lovely. Petting a cat is like

a tranquilizer, makes one calmer. Best to both of you!

[calimary]

67. Especially when they start purring.

Good stuff! And kozar, thanks for sharing your latest news about your new little friend! I hope you have many “purry” years together.

[TygrBright]

34. So glad to hear from you, Koz! You've been in my heart. Welcome Gladys! n/t

[diane in sf]

35. Congratulations to you and Gladys!

[people]

36. Very happy for you and Gladys.

[TeamProg]

37. Thanks for the update. Friendly fury company is always nice. nt

[SWBTATTReg]

38. It's so nice to have a companion in life, and one who needed a home too. May your days and nights be filled w/ the joy

of companionship and love...you'll find that companions such as this will be well worth their weight in gold. I've always loved my animal companions, for the daily joys in life, small or large that they may be, that they bring to one's life.

[Tree Lady]

39. So sweet happy for you!

[Sky Jewels]

40. OMG, I LOVE her!

I seriously felt my heart skip a beat when I saw her photo. (I may have a problem with being a bit obsessed with kitties, hee hee.) Thanks for adopting this beautiful little precious girl!

[Fla Dem]

42. So beautiful. Glad you found a loving companion.

[LudwigPastorius]

[JustinBulletin]

48. So happy for you, kozar!

I followed your posts in the past and felt sad for you since there were so many painful episodes you were going through. I always hoped you would find some peace and happiness. What a beautiful new friend you have there!

How's LilBit doing in state care? Is she adjusting well? I'll have to do this soon.

Koz

[Duncanpup]

58. Awesome

[Rhiannon12866]

61. Awwww! What a pretty kitty! And sounds like a sweetheart, too!

Lucky kitty and lucky you!

[BumRushDaShow]

63. "quiet, but a bit, assertive. "

A tortie with 'tude!

One of my sisters has a longhair one and yup, she doesn't say much except she can do a stare and glare severe enough to stop the big black lab she was "forced" to live with, cold!

Hope LilGlad enjoys her new spot!

[Goddessartist]

64. What a beauty! She looks like my Bosch,

who lived to be 20 years and 3 months. Cats are the best! Hello LilGladys!

Sending you lots of love my friend!

[kozar]

65. Wow!! 20 years?

I hope LilGlad and I have that many years left!

Koz

[Goddessartist]

66. Yes!

She was the most wonderful, beautiful cat! Green dragon eyes...she passed in my arms, September 27, 2011.

[Polly Hennessey]

68. Welcome, LilGlad. Lucky lady, lucky Koz. 🥰

[CaptainTruth]

69. So glad you got a kitty!

They can be the best companions, I love mine, & LilGlad looks beautiful & happy!

[KT2000]

70. Long haired tabby female

You could not have done better. They are so freakin smart with strong mom instincts. She will be very tuned in to you. I am jealous!!

[jrandom421]

72. Gladys looks like a Maine Coon

Calm, mellow and accepting. More dignified than a male, but she'll be a loving companion for you.

[kozar]

73. Jrandom

Nope, she's a mix, mostly tortoise, and she, is truly a female. Left her alone yesterday to get groceries. She ate, drank, everything she had ignored since Wednesday.
Meowed at me , loudly when I got home. I had her food
I built her a floating shelf, so she can look outside, she ignores it, she will only look outside, while on my recliner,
LilGlad is truly,a Queen B.

Damn, it feels good to have, a female in the house again!!
Can't be a king ,without a Queen
