We adopted him the 15th and so far he's doing great, he's already been checked by the vet and did have some yeast in his ears which he is currently being treated for said he was otherwise healthy and a great cat. The kids love him, our dog loves him and we love him! We have no intentions of returning him and he is the perfect cat for our family. So, personally I don't think 30 minutes is too short of a time to make a decision. In fact while we were there someone who was taking their time, visiting and deciding about a couple of different cats came in and found that they were both adopted, and she looked pretty bummed out. We are happy and the cat is happy so I think that's all that really matters when it comes down to it.Areniscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07217473020949841548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-31395455664017715032013-03-21T09:35:02.893-04:002013-03-21T09:35:02.893-04:00Now to hope they never return it!Now to hope they never return it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-23383979543186161522013-03-19T13:10:35.472-04:002013-03-19T13:10:35.472-04:00good luck to all the kitties.love you new header I...good luck to all the kitties.love you new header I am still working on the drawings for you but every time I give it a go I find its not quite right but I will get there,xxRachelLittle Miss Titchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456038281813066947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-51860234536874125642013-03-19T11:11:50.973-04:002013-03-19T11:11:50.973-04:00It took less than 30 minutes for me to choose my h...It took less than 30 minutes for me to choose my human and to win her heart.

I told them I was a volunteer and I'd be happy to help them take her out of her hiding place. I pulled her out easily enough and when I handed her to the woman the kitty pretty much hugged her and she was a gonner.<br /><br />I have seen a number of returns lately and asked a few people if they had been keeping stats on the number of returns, and no one really had, but they weren't concerned with it. I'm sure if the return rate was noticeably larger they would do something with it.Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127077337743262149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-19606875187996924792013-03-18T09:45:08.322-04:002013-03-18T09:45:08.322-04:00Your photos are just great.

Some people say it's easier to get a mortgage than a pet, but it does reduce the return rate.Renehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10832643923158222775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-66925381193067636992013-03-18T08:11:41.540-04:002013-03-18T08:11:41.540-04:00Sweet kitties, hope they all soon get their Foreve...Sweet kitties, hope they all soon get their Forever homes.<br />Thank you for your thoughts for Eric and the advice about the metacam. Eric only had it for the first time yesterday and we are injecting him today and tomorrow. It is only a short term thing to see if he walks better with pain relief which may make it more likely to be arthritis. We will hopefully know more after his second blood pressure test tomorrow.Memories of Eric and Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07895995542393169845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-38900184863197612013-03-18T08:11:21.823-04:002013-03-18T08:11:21.823-04:00I hope they met that kitty on another day and just...I hope they met that kitty on another day and just came back to fill out the paperwork and bring her home.
