And Then There Were Three...Again

It's no secret that we are a feline loving folk. Okay, maybe I should rephrase that..I'm a feline loving folk. My boys don't know any better, and the hubby has learned to appreciate my fondness. But I digress...

For those that have followed our animal saga, you will remember that I adopted a set of calico sisters {It's Twins!}, adding to the one we already had...making us a three cat family.

Almost a year ago, we found a "new" home for Shelby. We had contemplated the idea for a few weeks, but wanted to make sure that we found her a family where we knew she would be cared for. Enter a very dear friend and a set of circumstances that were ideal, and Shelby had herself a new set of faces to love her...leaving us with two feline friends- my tabby Jersey, and one of the sisters, Lexus.

Fast forward to this week.  Shelby's "new" family are also people I consider dear friends. We had a lease-to-own agreement. She was theirs, as long as they were able to take care of her, but if they ever found themselves needing to find her another new home, she was to come back to us.

Well, my friends. She'as back. Circumstances changed and we've gone back to our group of 3 felines.

Poor hubby. He was at work when I got the call that brought Shelby back to us. He came home from working an over-time shift to an extra cat. {Which is a an all too familiar story. He was on an over-time shift the day I adopted the girls, and he came home to them. Moral to the story? No over-time for hubby. I adopt animals when he's not paying attention}.

The good news is, she seems to be settling in nicely. She spent the first two nights in a room, secluded from the family. But upon integrating her back into the rest of the house she has fallen right into step with things, and has even gone back to habits we were accustomed to her having. Hanging out in her favorite chair being one of them...

Welcome back, Shelby Lynn. Welcome Back!
