I just couldn’t do it.

I went to Dallas Animal Services today. I spent an hour with the cats, with a break in between to check out the dogs, but I just couldn’t bring myself to adopt a cat. My heart broke about a thousand times just thinking about all the poor animals there, especially the ones that are scheduled to be put down this week. I had to hold back the tears a few times while I was there.

I fell in love with a Tabby/Siamese mix, but he was already adopted. I also fell in love with a super sweet Tabby, but as I was spending some time with him, a couple who was interested in him earlier in the day came back to sign his adoption papers. I was almost sure I was going to take home Myles, a little short hair mix, but something stopped me.

This would be my pet. A cat who would hopefully be around for many, many years. I want to know I am making the right decision. When I adopted my cat Jersey four years ago, I saw her online, went to the shelter, went home and immediately went back the next day. I knew she was the right cat for me.

I plan to continue my search until I find the right cat for me, and for Jersey.
