I adopted Agate in Dec. 2011, about a month after I lost my beautiful Tiptoes after 16 years together. I felt it was too soon, but went with my mom to the $5 adoption day because I heard how many poor babies didn’t have homes. We were in the room & I went to pet a cat sitting on the windowsill. When I turned to walk to my mom she leapt off the windowsill and onto my shoulders :). Needless to say, I had my heart stolen. I can’t imagine not having my sweet Agate greet me each day when I get back from work or having her push her way under the covers to snuggle!
