Since our family has expanded, Rosie was not receiving the love and attention she deserves. So, we decided it was time to find a family who could give her just that, and hopefully more. Luckily, an amazing family responded to our post on Craigslist around 8:45am on March 3rd. We called them minutes later, and in about 3 hours they came to our home and adopted Rosie.
They had two cats and the older one(who was 15 yrs old) recently passed away from cancer. Their 3 year old cat was lonely and they were searching for a family/animal friendly cat. The mom was a vet tech for years and also worked at the San Diego Zoo at one point. They have three boys who she homeschools and they live on a horse ranch. It was evident that they are animal lovers and we couldn't have asked for a better family to take our sweet Rosie.
The family has updated us twice since they brought her home and as of now, she has acclimated to the family and her new surroundings. She's not so sure about her new sister Tari. They say the love is one sided right now but I think Rosie will warm up to her soon enough. They say Rosie sleeps with them every night and enjoys looking out the window at the birds and squirrels during the day.
We're so thankful she has a feline friend again. She was much more active when Sam was still around. Hopefully she'll do the same with Tari.
Our farewell to Rosie was hard and tearful but we know she'll be much happier with her new family. We miss her dearly but appreciate their updates and open communication with us. Sort of like an open adoption!
