Murko's big adventure
Many nice people have inquired about our search for our pet cat, Murko. He hasn't come home yet, and we haven't found him. We're just so sad about that. My husband went on an excursion Sunday night, calling for him (again) around the neighborhood. But no luck. Our sweet neighbor boys, Baker and Ollie, assured us they are still looking for Murko every day. Right now we're sticking to Baker and Ollie's story. They think Murko's on an exchange adventure with a hot chick and having a wonderful time. We hope so.
Until our pet decides to bring his companion home to meet us, we are just too lonely without our boy, so we're looking for a little brother or sister for him. We've been to the SPCA and discovered to our delight that there are host parents for animals! Isn't that just the coolest thing? If a mother cat or dog, for example, has a litter at the shelter, or if a mother and her babies are brought in, the SPCA sends the whole group to a host family until the babies are old enough to be adopted. When we were out at the shelter on Sunday, there was a little orange tabby we just fell in love with, but she was too young to be adopted. A host mother is picking the whole family up this week. The babies need to be about eight weeks old so they can be spayed or neutered before you take them.
Tonight, we're going to look at a litter with some orange tabbies. They are with a host mother and should be ready for adoption in a week or so. We're so excited! The shelter workers said there are a whole bunch of litters with host families, so if you're looking for a new kitten, think about getting one in the next few weeks. A population explosion is expected. Apparently, the shelter people are also looking for host parents. So, if baby animals are your calling, this might be the perfect volunteer work for you.
Stay tuned.
