Yes, we took two cats from the shelter. And this is truly a change in life and mindset. Most of my childhood I have spend surrounded by dogs. Cats were just not in my dictionary. Odd I found them, mystical and uninterested in humans. How wrong I was.
The story started when my sons cat Misko joined us for christmasholidays and life changed rapidly. What a pure joy it was, such an interesting animal waiting to greet you in the morning. Wonderful to spend zen moments during his daynaps. Listening to funny sounds, each having its own meaning. And emptiness struck when Misko left.
We than decided that we had enough space for two cats from the shelter and Quinn and Gara, at the age of maybe 6 months (nobody knows exactly) entered and conquered our home.

Two cats, two characters, the best friends for each other and for us:)

Love the picture where the lens is focussed on the eyebrows :)
Great that you gave them a new home!
Adorable cats and photos too :)
Your photographs are beautiful Jetty, you've found new models! Cats are a true spectacle and I find leaving with cats bring you a kind of zen
They're both beautiful little creatures!
I can completely agree with you--that cats are beautiful creatures deserving of beautiful homes, and you have so generously agreed to let them enter your life--I love that! I will eventually get a new cat from the shelter, too. Thank you, Jetty, for your kind words...
The beginning of your story sounds very familiar to me - starting as a dog person, a cat inverted me to a cat lover too. Yet, no chance to keep any at the moment though.
Lovely photos of Gara and Quinn. Have a wonderful adventure with them!
Almost the same story here: we had Mitzu and he just left and then we found Kitty out there in the middle of the winter shivering and hungry...
Beautiful cats! Gara reminds me of my cat when I was a child in my parents house (we had her for 16 years)
Beautiful photos and adorable cats...but one little puppy is keeping me more than busy at the moment!
