ADOPTED! Shirley Steps Out

I've been in a cage since October! I know what you're thinking. "Shirley, you must be joking." Well it's true, and no one can seem to understand why. I'm a very sweet kitten. I just want to snuggle all day. Or chase a ball. I'm a really good chaser! 


When I came to the shelter, I had three siblings with me. I remember that we were all really scared. The shelter was warm and had food, but there weren't very many people to play with and I didn't get to run around like I wanted. One by one, my brothers and sisters went away. The Lady says that they all got adopted and have gone to their new "homes". I'm not sure what a home is yet, but the Lady says that someday a person will come along and give me a home of my very own.

Until I get a home, I'm staying with the Lady and my foster friend Chelsea. Chelsea is bigger than me, but we're still good friends. In fact, I like pretty much any cat that I meet. I really like people too. They have these things called "laps"! Laps are the most wonderful thing in the world. They are the best spot for sleeping.

It's not so bad staying with the Lady, but I want one of those "home" things. Chelsea says having a home means having people around all the time who take good care of you and pet you and play with you. That doesn't sound too bad to me! Will you be the person who gives me a home?
