Ernie the Kitty

Ernie the Kitty
We got a kitten!

I really hadn't planned on getting a kitten...I wanted an older cat that has less energy. :D  This one picked me, though.

We went to the SPCA and there he was, this little brown tabby, shaking and trying to hide in a corner. I sat down on the floor, putting my hand on the floor beside me, and I sat very still.  He came out, sniffed my  hand, and ran back to his corner.

The volunteer told us that was the most interaction she'd seen from him since he'd been there. Ian and I looked at each other and said, "He needs us."

He came from a hoarding situation. He was so thin you could feel almost count his ribs, and he was so flea-bitten it was heart-breaking. We will feed him and love him and he will be safe and happy.

His name is Ernie.
