"big Lou Lou the day I adopted her" (Image Courtesy of Wylddane Productions, LLC)
About two weeks ago I adopted from the local shelter two cats.  It is a no-kill shelter.  Both of the cats I adopted were older (7 years old and 12 years old) and no one wanted either of them.  One of them, the one pictured above, had been at the shelter for 301 days.  Methinks this picture captures the depression she was in...she had stopped taking care of herself.  She probably thought her life was over.

The other cat had been at the shelter for over 220 days...and the shelter had a record that indicated that she had been abandoned twice.

My philosophy about adopting an animal, is that when you do so...it is a lifetime commitment.

When I stepped up to the plate to provide each of them a forever loving home, the comment I frequently heard was "these two cats have hit the jackpot."  After two weeks of living with them, I can honestly say that although that comment may be true, I am the one that has REALLY hit the jackpot for they have filled my home with laughter and love.

I've named them Leona and big Lou Lou.  big Lou Lou is a little chubette but adorable.  And she has responded to finally have a home with so much love that I am overwhelmed.  The picture below is of her relaxing today.

More stories and pictures of each of them to follow.
