Abundance Is All Around Me!

I'm full of gratitude for the abundance that is streaming into my life!! We just got a new addition to the family! On Monday night my friend called me and told me that she had found a little tiny kitten in her backyard. It was crying at 4 AM and she brought it into her home. But she knew she couldn't keep it. She spent the whole day calling "no kill" shelters and they were all full. It's kitten season, so I guess they are very busy. She called me and casually asked "Do you think you might like a little kitty?" WOULD I??!! Al and I have been longing for a kitten for the past 4 months! We'd been searching through PetFinder and CraigsList periodically but we discovere4d that you have to move fast! Whenever we called, it was too late.

Then I started looking for adoption fairs. But it seemed like we were just not supposed to find our perfect kitty there. Every time I looked, we had just missed an adoption fair the weekend before. Then one of the psychiatrists at work showed me some pictures of some kittens that were in her backyard. They were a little old and I wondered how well socialized they were. The Dr. had not been trying to socialize them. So we passed up those kittens.

My friend's call was totally out of the blue! Well, that's how abundance comes to you sometimes. Al and I went to her house when I finished work for the day and it was love at first sight! So we came home with an adorable little long-haired black female kitten. And she has been bringing so much joy and bliss into the house! Even the 4 yr. old boy cat likes her. They have started to play and he has tried to wash her. By next week she will probably be his baby as much as she is ours.

The process of learning how to care for a 4 week old kitten has been exciting. We've been to the vet and she is healthy and free of diseases. Al had taught her how to use her little litter box. She learned her name (Mandy) by Day 2 and she comes running when you call her! She has us all wrapped around her little paw. I'm lovin' it!
