250 Love Its 500 Comments Third Anniversary Name Dropper
edited July 2014 in Money Matters
After 14 months of strict budgets and tight living I have found something worth splurging on! After our cat passed away a few weeks back I knew it was only a matter or time before a new kitten would be adopted. We went and picked her out on Sunday and H is smitten. She is the sweetest.  Nearly 4 months old now and all black except for the white spot on her chest. She came with completed shots and is fixed so she was a steal!
As far as MM goes she wasn't budgeted for but she was 50% off and only came to $79.50 and was worth every penny!

  • totally worth the money IMO!  She is adorable.  I bought my Gabby when I was going thru a hard time in life and adjusting to the next chapter of my life.  I was just "looking" and she sat in my lap and I just knew.  She was $300, but totally affordable for a dog.

  • Adorable, congrats!
  • Aww My parents have a cat that used to look just like her! Completely black with just a little white diamond on her chest...she's now 18 years old and has significantly more white on her face. 

    congrats on your new addition, totally worth it!
