Partner had never had a cat and was hesitant when I proposed the idea. He said yes after a few weeks of thinking, and I immediately jumped on petrescue to look ๐
I saw Mickey's picture, he was 4 months, give or take a few weeks, and was (IS) gorgeous. I called the rescue group, had a little phone convo, and booked to come in to meet Mickey and see if he liked us.
As soon as the animal attendant opened his enclosure door, he trotter out up to me. Put his front paws on my thighs and mewled. I melted. I picked him up and he was instantly purring and dribbling, making biscuits. Partner held him and the same thing. So we took him home that day ๐
