Earlier today, I witnessed the most incredible adoption of all time. One of the callers who wanted Cotton, I convinced her to instead adopt Secret, the little mackeral tabby who escaped being poisoned by an evil landlord. The woman lives alone with two cats, a gecko and two turtles in a nearby town.

After some wrangling, I managed to capture Secret who was none to happy and put her into a cat carrier. Her howls saddened me. I told her I hoped I had found the right place for her and she calmed down when I covered the carrier with a dark cloth.

Upon arriving at the home, I took her out of the carrier and before I could even say “Here’s Secret” she was scooped up into loving arms! Secret melted into this woman’s embrace and started kneading her arms and buried her head deep down into her chest. It was totally amazing- because I have taken her to adoptive homes in the past and she either hid in the carrier refusing to come out- or she ducked under the nearest object to hide.

But not here-she was in heaven. I sat there with my mouth open as Deanna settled into the recliner and Secret settled into her lap.

The other two cats were perched nearby- taking it all in both not even caring about the newcomer.

This was the type of adoption that as I pulled out of the driveway to go home, I raised my hands to Heaven and said; “God on this one, we did GOOD!”
