GIZMO....THE NEW BABY:)

MAZY THE 26LB CAT:)

IRONMAN THE HUNTER CAT :)

My kids are in LOVE with animals, if they could... they would give every animal a home!! Well we know that is impossible to be able to save every animal...and I have to explain that to them, but their intentions are good:) They were saving their money to donate to a animal shelter...There is a commercial that is shown quit a bit on TV ...My Madison cries every time it comes on...it shows abounded and abused animals while a sad song is being played and you can not feel any thing but sadness for these innocent animals....We collected information on donating, but I get a little sketchy on where the money really goes and what it is used for!!!! So the kids continued on saving their money and I told them we will know when the time is right!!!!

Konor wanted to go the animal store just to "LOOK"....so Todd took the kids.....I get a call 30 mins later from Skylar and saying "Mom there is this adorable kitten, that she wants badly" Me: "Skylar we already have 2 cats" Todd didn't want to be the "NO" parent so left the decision up to me......I tried to give all the reason of "WHY" we should not get it...1.getting new carpet in one week...2. we already have two grown cats that won't like a little monster joining them..3.the BIG ONE...I would be the one to take care of it!!! SO the SUCKER I am agreed to at least go "LOOK" at it...the kids know me well...I would fall in LOVE with it and the deal would be done:) I have ALWAYS been a cat lover...I took EVERY stray cat in when I was a kid..I would sneak them through my bedroom window :)


So off to the store we go...I was not too thrilled to get a kitten from the "pet store" as a way for them to make money....but I was relieved that they were actually coming from the Humane Society and the store (or outside source) was not making any money....This poor little kitten was in a tiny cage by himself and was begging for attention...Some A-HOLE cut his whiskers off, so that to me showed some kind of abuse....How can people do such a thing to a harmless animal????...I was SUCKERED..I feel in love with him with the first hold....he purred and was so happy to be held...he won our hearts:) A new home he will go!!!!


$100.00 the kids had to collect with their allowance and tip bucket...I thought that was pricey for a kitten..but I guess that is to cover his shots and neutered....Now the kids tell the story of saving a little kitties life and giving him a fun, loving home...instead of him living in a tiny spaced cage with no loving contact!!! I said good thing they do not have little babies in stores like that or I WOULD BE IN BIG TROUBLE...BIG SUCKER FOR NEWBORN BABIES...LOVE EM:)


Here is the scoop on the new little baby...his name is Gizmo (Gizzy for short) he is 8 weeks old...cut off whiskers :( Full of energy and loves to snuggle and carries paper around AND IS LOVED!!!!! My house is officially a ZOO :)
