He is gorgeous, and and your are an angel for rescuing an animal from the human society. The human society is smart is adopting out the kitties for only $10, finding them good homes, vs. the ugly option. We love, love, love rescue operations such as your humane society with which you have elected to affiliate. My husband and I work very diligently with rescues, and it seems that those with the least, do the most--identifying pets that are adoptable, finding a way to save them from their most likely future at the pound. Unfortunately some states allow indiscriminate pet breeding. My state, Tennessee; as well as PA, MO, IA, and WI come to mind. We work with other wonderful folks to transport animals from these areas---really mostly TN ;to relocate them to states which have better breeding laws, and need/appreciate pets (I speak of dogs). With so many domestic animals having to be euthanized every day, it is just plain sad that puppy mills exist. I applaud the policies of the northeastern states, as they seem to have placed a value on pets; and have controlled the pet population in their areas.
When I see a sign that says: "Free Kittens," I immediately translate it to read, "I'm too @#!~@$ stupid to spay my cat, and society (Not me) will take care of this problem for me.
...But back on track and onto your wonderful new addition.... Chester is soooo beautiful. He will be loved...as will you; in a feline sort of way.
...Congratulations! Remember to celebrate this date/anniversary! Thanks for sharing!!!
