For the past few days I haveen looking at adoption sites - petfinder or adoptapet.com or virtual pet adoptions. All these are wonderful site for adoption and they help you find a pet of your choice. Most, if not all, those adoptees (let say the pets waiting for adoption) are spayed/neutered, microchipped (so they could be return to its owner if ever they are lost), and have been tested for Leukemia and whatever feline illness they had. I was looking only towards the kittens because it is my hope that I receive a kitten one day....one day soon or one day later. I hope the former rather than the latter, but whichever, I will take care of it well.  So I was looking through these adoption ads and the beautiful and cute pictures of those adoptees. I wanted a kitty that I have not seen in the streets (in my area, we have many stray and feral cats running around the streets and some finds home, while others do not).

I am thus tired of getting stray cats for pets. They are cheap. They cost nothing. But they are walking diseases from the time of their birth because they have been in the outdoors. I have learn much about raising cats these recent days and have learn that what I had normally practiced were wrong and will only lead to a cat's death. I have had a cat who refused to eat, his body became very cold, and he died. We never knew the cause but there are so many harmful and poisonous things in the outdoors that we should never take our cats outside. Cats should live at home but even that, we have to make it cat-safe because many of the things can make a cat ill. So to my point, I am tired of raising stray cats only to find them hurt in some way or form, leaving us, and disappearing. I am tired of that and so I wanted to adopt. In my previous entry, I said I did not want to adopt but I change my mind. Adopting is actually cheap and it is saving the lives of tens of thousands of homeless pets waiting for a home.

Home At Last is a non-profit organisation that is helping homeless pets find a loving home. They first rescue them and then put them in a loving home. In order to ensure they have a loving home, they have the applicant answer some questionaires about their living condition/situation and about how we would take care of our little friends. Within those two days, I filled it out but unfortunately I have no idea when I can adopt these cute furry friends. I really want a kitty but my situation as I am ill and my immune system is poor, a kitty would not be completely safe with me. But I do like cats and I do wish to join with them. Ahhh one day. Home At Last is a non-profit organisation that I support and that I will go to if I am ready to adopt.

Anthony and I have made an agreement that we both adopt a kitty together, I want a girl! Then our kitty would come and play with each other. It would so awesome and fun but his kitty has to be older than mine because he's older...haha. I sort of want a cat with blue eyes for some reason. They look so pretty. I had a lot of yellow eyes cat so it would be nice for a change of eye colour. Umm... thinking of this future too much.

Yesterday, I went out....by myself. It's not a safe thing to do especially in my condition. I began to buy stuff for my kitty. This is a collar and will look so cute in my future kitty. What do you think? I do think so. It's different also because elastic and it fits for all the kitty. I brought it at Petco and I became its member. Pretty sweet, eh? I fancy that the next time I will buy something for my kitty would be after my transplant.

Talking about Transplant. I've talked to Sandra. I have not talked to her for such a long time and I told her that I'm to have a bone marrow transplant at Stanford. I hope their food is better there. I hate smelly fish. I sound like "I hate green eggs and ham." She affirm to me that I am in remission - the third and final phrase. I just hope I may not go into a relapse.
