Simon and Sedona are Settling In

Simon and Sedona, the cats I adopted, arrived today.

I visited them last week at the shelter in Portland, Animal Aid. They are a small no-kill facility that takes in cats and dogs and attempts to find loving homes for them. I’ve been very impressed so far (and sometimes a bit irked) by their thorough screening for adoption. I filled out a lengthy application and provided personal character references that the adoption counselor followed up on.

But, it was worth it.

Not only did a volunteer with Animal Aid drop them off, she also informed me that they recently had their teeth cleaned and minor surgeries at no cost to me. They included id tags with my phone number also.

So far, Simon and Sedona are doing great. They are both very affectionate and seem to be comfortable here. I’m looking forward to getting to know their unique little personalities as time goes by.

I’m sure I’ll be posting pictures of them soon… just as soon as I get around to taking my camera out again.

Until then…
