Zoey , adopted kitty from Karing Kennels
There is nothing better than fi nding your soulmate,
your match, your better half. Our 7 year old son, Max,
found his at the Karing Kennels Adoption Facility in
January of 2016.
Our elderly dog Natasha passed away in August of
2015, and Max, who was always drawn to cats, asked
if we could adopt one. We had another middle age
dog at home named Tango, and while we loved cats,
we knew we had to fi nd one that he could love too.
We spent weeks visiting the Adoption Facility getting
to know them all. Did they like dogs? What about
kids? Were they inside or outside cats? We spent time
petting them, holding them and cuddling with them.
We loved them all, but the funny part is, Max and
Zoey picked each other on the fi rst day.
Every time we went to visit the shelter this gorgeous,
large eyed, mustachioed cat would stare at Max and
meow at him. Max would
take her out and hold
her and she would hug
him with her two paws
around his neck and purr non-stop… every time.
When he would put her back, she would stare at him
and meow at him as if she was saying, “Hello, pick me
back up, I love you!” The only issue? She didn’t get
along with canines. A deal breaker.
We all fi nally agreed on a few cats that were
historically “good with dogs” and brought Tango to the
shelter to fi nd that special connection. Now, Tango is
a large Siberian husky and he can be imposing even
to humans, let alone cats. So over the course of an
hour, we introduced him to three candidates. What
we got was hissing, growling, swatting and hiding; it
looked as if there would be no feline for us. Finally,
due to Max’s bond, we asked to see Zoey, just in
case. Amazingly, when she came in the room, she just
laid down in front of Tango. It was as if they were old
friends meeting again.
Max was right, Zoey WAS his cat and she came home
with us that day.
