Sooooooooooo we didn’t get Waffle. The Humane Society doesn’t let people “reserve” animals (first come first serve), and when I checked their adoptions page right before we headed down there, Waffle’s picture was gone.

Meaning she had been adopted by someone who had an earlier appointment that morning.

I’d already bonded with her so much just by looking at her picture that it was almost like another loss. I ugly cried about it while Nate was in the shower.

But we decided to go anyway; perhaps another cat needed us.

And one did – we ended up with this pretty girl right here:

We don’t have a name for her yet, but she was very calm on the car ride home and seemed to not be afraid at all as she explored the house. It was hard to get a non-blurry picture of her.

It’s going to be interesting to see how different she is from Jazzy.

Edit: we named her Pepper!
