Making the decision to adopt Seiko was the easy part.
The hard part was getting a shelter in Indiana to approve adopting her to a home in Virginia.
I faxed the paperwork and waited. The shelter adoption counselor, I was told, would call me for an interview.
Meanwhile, I was scrambling to arrange transport. Since Seiko was not eligible for the Siamese Rescue Program, we would not be able to use Meezer Express which is without doubt the most organized, reliable, and generous group of transport volunteers. My hat is off to the Meezer Express Transport Coordinators. It is not easy to arrange transports - especially from the middle of Indiana to the coast of Virginia. I put out a plea for help on several message forums and the Wayward Cats crossed their whiskers.
48 hours went by with no contact from the shelter. I was getting cold feet. Even if I were approved to adopt - how would I be able to get her home...
Then a miracle occurred.
