The Latest Cat Conundrum

Ok, I have oft said that if I were to actually spend money on a purebred cat, I would get a Devon Rex. They're such delightful little things. Their odd features and sweet dispositions have always charmed me. When I see a Rex at a cat show, I get all gaspy and excited like a child in awe of something sparkly.

As it turns out, a cat rescue group that I have ties to has recently taken in a Rex... and offered it to me with a waived adoption fee. He is adorable and sweet and I suspect he needs the comfort of a home ASAP. I don't think he likes being in the adoption system very much - like many cats that have been rescued, he could probably use some stability, STAT.

I have plenty of kitties already. There is no way I could argue that I need another cat. I don't want to upset my husband or my creatures by forcing a new addition to the family. At the same time, I will probably never have another chance like this, and cat rescue is something that I feel really passionate about. Being able to give this guy a forever home and a life where he would be fawned over and adored would add another level of joy and fulfillment to my already happy life.

It's hard to think of taking him, hard to think of not taking him.
