Welcoming a New Member to Our Family
By Laura | February 4, 2009
Pumpkin came to us on Friday thanks to the 4PawsRescue Society. I hunted around Craig’s List and Kijiji and strangely, couldn’t find anyone giving away a cat that interested us (usually there’s an over-abundance).
I then did some research and found out that PetSmart had an adoption program. Instead of selling cats or dogs, they have a section showing rescue animals that are up for adoption.
It was love at first sight. Pumpkin was friendly and couldn’t wait to get to know the girls. In my experience, new cats will get home and hide! Not this one! She got out and immadiately started to play with the girls. That first night, she joined us on the bed and slept along side us…taking time out to try to play…thus waking me up 5 or 6 times.
She’s six months old and looks pretty healthy. I need to make a vet appointment to have her checked (included in the adoption fees), as well as find a scratching post for her. The kids are having a blast with her and I’m hoping that they’ll learn a lot by having this new friend around.

She is really cute! Congrats on your new member of the family!
I just got the book on solids, liquids and gases on the library listing for my 2nd grade dd’s science curriculum and that is how I found your site. I enjoyed reading and will be back.
