April 10th was the most difficult night of my life. I know that sounds very dramatic, but its true. Baby Emmett came into my life about 3 years ago. He was found by my friends sister, and I didn't think twice and drove straight to her house from work and brought him home.
He was so tiny! He would fit in Jonathan's hand.
The next 3 years with him were the sweetest of times. He would love on anyone that met him. He hated catnip, and cat toys, but he loved his dogs, and late night walks. He always sat across from me at the table when I ate breakfast. He would also knock things over if mommy was taking too long to get up.
I believe he stayed alive until I got home from work so I could kiss him goodbye. The vet tried everything she could to save him, but his little body couldn't handle it. He's now hanging with little BK having the greatest of times in Kitty heaven. I'll always love you baby boy.

Fast forward to Saturday May 19th.
Just a normal day at work, except I wasn't feeling too well. I tried my best to suck it up and stay, but ended up leaving early. I walked to my car and sat there while deciding if I was going to take a quick nap or drive home. I decided to drive home, while driving home I kept thinking about the kitties I had looked at on Petango and decided to take a little detour to the Humane Society of Tampa. It was a busy Saturday at HSTB, so I headed back to see the pups first, then headed to spend some time with the adult kitties. I kept telling myself I shouldn't make it to the kitty room because it would just be too dangerous. I walked in and everyone was holding a kitten. I sat down and quietly waited my turn. This super nice girl was holding this black fluffy kitten and was telling me that she was very sweet and cuddly, but didn't like other cats according to her paperwork, and that wasn't an option for her. I watched the kitty for the next 15-20 minutes while she walked around and interacted with other people and kittens. 🐱 I was hesitant to hold her because I knew I would immediately want to take her home, and I wasn't sure if my heart was ready to open up just yet. I was sending Jonathan and some friends pics and videos of the kitties. I walked around some more and came back to see her, sent him some photos and jokingly said "I'm going to do it." As soon as I hit send I called him via FaceTime, and he got to see her in action, and he was laughing and smiling so hard. I hadn't seen him this happy since baby Emmett; & he said "Get her!" I hung up and started crying, and I sprung up and took her papers to the front desk and filled out an application and waited to meet with an adoption coordinator. My heart was pounding the entire time. Was this really happening?! Am I about to have a new little baby in my life?! so many emotions! After about an hour or so of going over her history, and other important information she said, "lets go get your new kitty!" If there was footage of me running into that room I would insert it here. hahahaha actually I probably wouldn't. I almost tripped. Phew If you've made it this far a huge high five! Comment little 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱 emojis if you're just as excited about the new kitty as I am!

SAINT LAURENT

This is the first photo I took of her at the shelter. Can you just look at those eyes? How could I resist? Not only is she absolutely stunning, she's the sweet baby girl! She's super playful and loves nap time. <3

She's very curious of the camera, so taking photos of her has been very difficult. I'm sure she'll get the hang of it, and stop wanting to bite my iPhone or nudge it with her head every time I try to take a pic of her.
