And Then There's Chili...
Chili was one of the Pepper Pack bottle baby kittens we took in this past winter when we started fostering for The Way Home. Tamale was adopted out to a Forever Home, and of course, we adopted Sonora.
But Chili has been consistently overlooked in the adoptions at Petco on Saturdays, and during the time she's been here, we simply fell in love with her and also love the close bond she has with her sister Sonora. Complicating matters was us falling in love with Angelo. How could we open our home to another kitten like Angelo, and not adopt Chili? This was not an easy decision. After much deliberation, and some stress, we finally decided to adopt BOTH Angelo and Chili. So now Chili Pepper can stay with her sister Sonora, and not have to go through the weekly stress of going to Petco for potential adoptions, only to be overlooked each week. While having nine cats now in our Purrchance To Dream bunch may be a bit overwhelming, especially while we still have two half-grown foster cats (Beau & Dallas) here with us. But in the long run, I think that adding Chili to our family is the best decision for all of us!

You have big hearts. Dad says he has to watch the foster work as the last little bunch of kittens and Fitz and Buttons stayed. No, I be fibbing as there were some after who all went to forever homes. Our Buttons has FIV so no one would look at him and Fitz would lay there like she was sick (Faker). Ah well we love them to bits.
ReplyDeletePurrs of welcome to Chili
Chili, everything happens for a reason. And look ... you found the most awesome and loving forever home possible. ConCATulations, little one! WE are so happy for you and your new forever family! :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Chilli Pepper. Concats on finally getting into your furrrever home. Sometimes it takes a while for the beans to get the word.
