Salem!

We weren’t looking for another pet, but another pet found us.

We went to visit my parents’ house and when we woke up and let the dogs out, we heard this loud animal whine coming from the other side of their fence.  It was a bit relentless and since Matt is the curious one, he went to investigate.  The whining stops and he comes back holding this small, hungry 3-4 week kitten.  We tried to find it’s owner and when that wasn’t successful we started asking our friends if anyone wanted a cat.  This also proved to be unsuccessful.  I had made up my mind that we’d be taking him to the shelter as we already have a fur family of 4.  However, the kids grew attached and so did Matt and before the weekend was over we agreed on a trial run at the house.  And well, now we have a family of 5 fur babies.  Meet Salem, a little black, hyper package of everything we didn’t know we were missing.
