Foster Cat Journal: The Last of Santa's Team Goes Home...Part Two

If you read my last post, you know that Blitzen found his forever home yesterday. If you read my last post v-e-r-y carefully, you might have noticed something else, too.

I said I cried when the Adoption Agreement was signed, which was true. I didn't say whose signature was on the paper or if my tears were sad ones.

It's something to consider.

The other thing to consider is how sweet, friendly and loving this little cat has become. He always seems to have a sunny outlook on life. Everything is interesting and exciting to him, to be explored and enjoyed. Every time I look at him I smile. I could find a way to let Blitzen go, but life is too short. Why do I have to say goodbye? I have a lot of cats, what's one more? Will it ruin my life or ruin my other cats life? Probably not.

So the signature, one of two, is mine. The other, not seen above, is Sam's. I cried because I was happy and maybe a tiny bit scared to make this commitment.

My old boss said; “It is what it is.” I think that sums it up nicely. Sure, I could go nuts worrying about how this cat will impact our lives or do calculations that tell me it's going to by tough on our budget to have an EIGTH cat, but it is what it is. We'll find a way to manage.

I guess I got tired of having to say goodbye and longed to say something new.

“Welcome to the Family, Blitzen!”

The last of Santa's Team has found his forever home.

...and it's with us.

ugh, i'm sitting at my desk at work crying!!!!!! i'm so happy for you!!!!!! santa's team took you through hell and back, so it's only fitting that it end happily ever after. :D :D :D

Okay, I didn't KNOW it, but I highly suspected. My other guess was that perhaps Super Deb adopted him. :)

Welcome home, Blitzen!

I cried a little tear reading this post!

Congrats to you and Blitzen. He found the best family of all! :)

I think this is great news for you! After all that you did for "The Team" it will be a nice reminder of how difficult and yet how rewarding fostering or helping any animal can be. I also think its great that Sam stepped up and went for it with you! That seems to mean he really is there for you and the cats and your life together :)

Happy Happy Dance!!!!

WOW

Didn't see that coming!!! Congrats to you both! I'm glad Sam is so supportive of the kitties. What a great gift! :)

Robin - I am actually crying with joy - so happy you get to keep Blitzen. What a precious cat he has become :)

Oh my God I am so happy...Congrats!!!!

Good choice, Robin & Sam. You have excellent taste in housemates.

That boy is like a male supermodel cat. You need to get him in commercials so he can earn his (and all the others) keep!

Hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gorgeous! Lucky kitty, lucky you.

I'm seriously bawling here.

Mazal Tov!

I hope those are happy tears! I had them, too! Blitz is such a dear boy. Now you have more to visit when you come and see Spencer, some day, right?

I just got tired of saying goodbye to the little ones. It can't be helped.

:-)

Yay for Blitzen! What a happy thing!

Charlemagne and Tamar
