His name is Jerry and I adopted him on December 23rd 2007! That year was not a great year as so many things happened in my life. That year I lost my mom, a very good friend of many years moved away, the company that I had worked at for over 8 years closed down, and the cat that I had at that time whose name was Butch had to be put down.
Starting a new job with another company as always is not easy and but I was gonna make it work. So while for a little while in that year I did not have a cat, towards the end of the year I wanted another cat. So I started looking. As always I went to the adoption center and started looking. It was December 23rd and I was the only one in the place. They were closing in a few hours for the Christmas holiday.
There inside what they call a cat condo was this little face! I asked the girl if I could go into the room and see him. She said sure but do not be fooled he is not that little! When I called his name he came to me right away and I knew that I had to take him home. I went down stairs and the lady at the place told me that I had to fill out papers and it might be too late to process. I told her that he was going to be my Christmas cat. She smiled and said OK lets do this!
So he came home that day for Christmas! He is a great cat. He is a Maine Coon and this is the only cat that allows people to pet him and play with him. And we also have a dog who as soon as he saw Jerry was amazingly very friendly. And Jerry was not afraid of our dog. He loves attention and me, my wife and my son, make sure he gets plenty of it.
If you are looking to having a dog or a cat. Please visit the humane society or any of the other adoption centers around you. They are great friends to have in your life.
God Bless…
