Saying Goodbye to Shelby, and Our New Additions

 We had to say goodbye to our sweet kitty Shelby a few weeks ago.  We were lucky to have her in our family for 12 years, and she will be greatly missed.  She got really sick over a weekend and first thing Monday morning we took her in.  They put her in an incubator because she was struggling to breathe.  We did several tests to figure out what was wrong, but she wasn't able to pull through and passed away late that night.

We brought her home so that we could bury her in our backyard, next to our other beloved cat Xena.

 

 We decorated her box with love

She was always so tolerant as Hailey would dress her up.  Sweet Shelby was buried with this crown on her head.

 We boo hooed for several weeks and decided we needed to adopt another kitty to love.  We were set on getting a maine coon cat because that's what Shelby was and she was the most affectionate cat we have had.  We found a brother and sister maine coon that are 6 months old, and instantly fell in love.

Josie and Jarvis

 Josie was found as a kitten with a broken tail, but it doesn't seem to bother her.  She is definitely more affectionate and sweet.  Jarvis is a little trouble maker and loves to play.  I think it will be fun to have such different personalities!

I believe this is Josie, but its hard to tell!
