DH and I go for a walk almost every night. Last night, we stopped by the local PetSmart during our travels. We have four cats, all of them female. Since my male cat had to be put down last year, the females tend to be (pardon the pun) catty. He was always a very calming influence to them.
Last night we looked at the rescue cats. We always do, we never have any intention of adopting. Cats find us, we don't find them. Then we saw him. This cat, who is at least 25 lbs, had burned whiskers and a shaved part on his torso. He was calm and didn't mind other cats in his cage. The minute he saw DH, he stood up and came to him. It was love at first sight for both of them I think
We stepped outside to discuss it. The cat stared at DH until he came back in. DH will go pick up the cat today.

He's a handsome boy. Congrats to all of you and I second the thanks for giving him a good home. I have three myself and can't imagine life w/o them.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
