Eros was adopted!!!!

I noticed today that Eros wasn't on the shelter's website anymore, so I
called. Sure enough, he was adopted on the 26th!

I am feeling so many things right now. Sheer joy that he found a home. Fear
that his new family could turn out to be awful. Sorrow that I won't ever see
him again. Regret that I didn't ever get around to writing a letter to the
new owners, which I meant to do, that would describe his favorite toys but
most importantly *cough* mention my phone number in case they, um, wanted to
ask questions.

Wow. Tears are coming and I can't tell if they're joyful or sad. Never again
to see Eros. But he has a home now!

I guess it's true what they say; you never stop worrying about your kids.

Awwww. I'm glad he got a Christmas home and I bet it is a nice one since the
shelter seems to be pretty cat friendly.

If you wrote one know, don't you think the shelter would forward it?
Who knows -- maybe his new servants live near you and might welcome
visits.

I'm sure his new family will be wonderful. Most people who adopt an adult
cat as opposed to a kitten are cat savvy, and not just looking for a
Christmas toy. Purrs that Eros will have a long, healthy life in his new
forever home.

Hugs,

I am so pleased both for Eros and you that he has a new foreverhome with
people that could see past his goopy eye. That should tell you something
about them.

Also, Eros' eye got particularly gunky in the last week, and the adopters had
to sign a notice that they understand he has an eye problem that will need
constant monitoring. I don't think ignorant people would adopt an animal with
a known condition, no matter how benign.

Yes, I think you're right. At least, it will be better for my sanity if I
believe it =)

I feel the same way every time I take a stray/rescue into a shelter,
and when I find they've been adopted (I usually check until I find out
they are).

Sending great clouds of white light around Eros that he has found a
wonderful, loving home where he will live a very long and happy life.
