how do you choose just one cat??

[Roadtrip]

My last trip to the SPCA the pup picked me... almost literally. He was standing by the front door when we walked in like the greeter at Wal-Mart. He steadily followed us around as we looked at all of the other dogs. I began to wonder if this pup already belonged to someone as he was REALLY friendly and was loose where all the other dogs were in cages. No lead. No collar. Nothing. Finally one of the workers came by must have saw my expression and said oh, that's Teddy.. he's such a good boy we often let him run loose and she pointed at an empty cage and Teddy quietly walked into the cage, turned to look at us, and sat down. We did the rest of the circuit and before I knew it I was standing back in front of Teddy's cage. He was one of the older dogs in the place, but he wasn't barking or flipping out, he was the calmest dogs in the shelter. We took him that day.

I know not all have a instant connection like that. I was lucky to find the perfect dog.

Wish you luck on finding the right kitty!!

If it helps at all, black cats have less of a chance of getting adopted - they just aren't as cute to most people. Plus they don't photograph well, so any shelter that relies on something like Petfinder puts black cats at a disadvantage (mine, in photos, looks like a blob with two laser-eyes).
