It was meant to be! Steve and I had been debating lunch the entire length of Georgia on I-95. We finally decided to just stop at a McDonald's because nothing else was coming up. Once we pulled off the highway, Steve spotted a Wendy's and opted to head over there. The second I stepped out of the car an itty bitty teeny tiny kitten came running over. My eyes must have exploded b/c Steve said "no way." I gave the my best frown with begging eyes and he agreed that if the cat was still by the car after lunch I could have him/her. I told "Georgia" that we would be right back and to wait by the car. I grabbed a spot next to the window so that I could keep my eye on her. Sure enough she sat underneath the car until a big truck pulled in and scared her away. I was so disappointed. So smug Steve said that if I could find her I could keep her. When we walked out to the car I made those cute little kissy noises and called for "Georgia." She came running across the parking lot to me. We stopped at a Petsmart along the highway and picked up supplies. I was also able to get her an appointment at a vet in Wilmington tomorrow morning. I need to make sure she does not have feline leukemia before I introduce her to our other kitties. We debated the name for awhile and finally came up with Milee. We kept passing miler markers while we deliberated her name. She's a big eater consumed a can of wet food, two cups of dry, and an entire 16 oz bottle of water. Poor thing was all ribs when we picked her up and now has a nice little belly.
The vet appointment went well although expensive. Not really money we have at the moment as we just bought our first home together. The good news... she doesn't have feline leukemia. The bad news... she has a few intestinal parasites that should go away with a week on meds. Woohoo! I get to keep her.
