Meet Flash

We had talked about getting a kitten.  Calvin had fun with the kitten he stayed with while we were away on vacation.  The boys have been wanting a kitten and there are lots of animals out there that need homes.  If we were going to get a kitten we wanted it to be a rescue, shelter kitten.

I spent the last couple of days checking out a few foster homes though the shelter and cats at the shelter.  I narrowed it down to a few.

We did not let the boys know that we were thinking about getting a kitten.

When they came home from from camp yesterday we surprised them.  We told them we were going to check out some kittens and maybe even come home with one.  They were super excited.

First, we went to a foster home with 5 kittens from the same litter.

Then, we went to the animal shelter.

At the shelter there were lots of cats and kitten in cages. You could take out any to play with.  We played with a few.  The kids knew right away they wanted Flash.  Morry said he thinks they picked her out because she looks sort of like Mottel.  She purred when we held her and did not want to leave Evan's lap. 

After all the paperwork and the adoption donation we were able to come home with Flash.

Right now, we have her confined to our room and our bathroom until she gets more used to us, the house, and the animals. 

Here are a few pictures from yesterday.
