I took Mattie to the Petco Sunday adoption event and amidst quite a few kitten of various colors and kinds Mattie, our full black 8 week old kitten got adopted by a very nice family with dog and a child.
I spelled Barbara who normally takes in these events with Mattie and Tildie. There had to be fifteen kittens and a few adults that day. I spend time chatting up suspects and it was no different for the woman and her college age daughter. They had a cat but had to put it down recently and we looking for a new cat and thought a kitten would be good but wanted one that would accept a dog in the house.
I didn’t know if Mattie or Tildie were naturally able to handle a dog but at Petco big dogs came and went that morning barking away and both my kitties didn’t flinch. So I mentioned that to the woman and her daughter. They looked over kitties and I offered them to come and pick up Mattie and/or Tildie and they did. The daughter kvelled over Mattie who was just a doll at the event. Tildie was not coming out of her shell but Mattie was all sunshine and brightness.
Long story short they did take Mattie, I shared feeding and acclimation information with them and off they went.
