After Kit, my best furry friend of 16 1/2 years died in July I was devastated. I said I would never own another animal because it was too hard to lose them. Less than a month later I told my husband that we needed to go to the MSPCA (Nevin's Farm) because I had found a beautiful girl online I wanted to adopt. Gracie was 9 and everyone tried to talk me out of it but I knew her chances of finding a home were far less than all the kittens. I wanted her.
I finally found Gracie's cage and she was so beautiful...and looked so sad. I fell madly in love with her. As we were walking around there was a huge grey tiger cat that kept looking at us and rubbing up against the front of his cage. He almost looked like he was smiling. I couldn't resist so we adopted him too. Dex was 4.
A year later Dex and Gracie are the joys of our house. Gracie meows and purrs louder than any cat I've ever met and Dex is a big silly playful boy. They follow me around the house and the yard like little dogs and Dex stands on his back legs and tries to open doors.
Although I still miss my Kit, Gracie and Dex fill my heart with happiness.
