my experience with pet adoption
My first experience with an animal that needed a home was with
Piu. I had no clue at the moment that I had her in a
box, taking her home, that she would become so important in my life.
It's been almost 13 years of grumpiness, companionship, love and purring
on my chest every time I go to bed and when I wake up.
Fofo came into our lives little by little. He lived at a neighbour's house and eventually learned how to climb my house's wall and began asking for food and to be petted. He became officially ours when the neighbour moved out and left him behind. Fofo is the most patient cat that I know and also one of the prettiest. Fofo means 'adorable' in Portuguese and it suits him perfectly. lindo
Isoldinha is the latest addition to the family. She was
a really scared kitten, hissing every time we tried to get near to her.
I started giving her food and each time she was coming closer.
Eventually she let me pet her and that was a really important moment.
After that, she began showing her real personality: she asks to be
petted, likes to sleep on my lap and even enjoy belly rubs! But she is a
bossy kitten!
She and Fofo became best friends.
