Back in October 2004 I went to a Petco grand opening with my friend to get stuff for his dog. While he was looking around I decided to look at the cats that were up for adoption by the Spay and Save organization. There was one cage that had two kittens in it. The one immediately came over to the glass to play with me. While playing he stepped and fell into his water, shook it off, and continued to play. I had a good laugh, but I was impressed with him considering that most cats do not like water. I fell instantly in love, but my friend did not think I should adopt him - so I went home. I could not get this little kitty out of my mind and I went back the next day to fill out the adoption paper work. A lady from the organization called to talk to me about my plans and she approved. I jumped from my chair and went to the Petco to pick him up. Another customer at the store was surprised to find that I just got him because he was instantly cuddling with me. We picked up all the necessary kitty supplies and went home. Our adjustment period went quickly as he began sleeping with me from night one. Adopting my "son" Nermal was the best move I've ever made. I still get a good laugh watching him play and we hug each other every day. The love one receives from a rescue knows no bounds. It is still hard for me to believe that Nermal was left along the side of the road along with his siblings. Someone's mistake made my life complete.
