Home at last!  I am pleased to report that Finn met his new mom yesterday.  She and a friend drove down to the shelter from Massachusetts.  Finn was all packed and ready to go.  He had his bed, his favorite catnip mice, his low condo, his special litter box, and his favorite CD.

There was an instant connection between Finn and Mary.  He explored the shelter while his new mom filled out paperwork.  She has had three blind cats and is very experienced with helping blind cats to become familiar with their surroundings.  Currently Finn will be the only cat in the home, but she is thinking of adding a blind kitten in the future so Finn can have a companion.
Mary texted me last night when she and Finn were settled in.  He was a good boy on the ride home.  She had set up his living space and he was eating and checking out his new home.  A little later she sent me a picture of Finn on his low condo - he had climbed up himself.  He had never climbed up before without our help.  She did send a picture of him happily curled up on his condo.
I will post pictures of Finn's adoption soon and any pictures sent to me by his new mom.
Life without Finn is very different - we do miss him, but know that he is in the right forever home.
Thank you all for caring about Finn and for your patience with me as we prepared Finn to move on to his forever home.  I will endeavor to keep you all informed of his progress.  I know that he has a great future with Mary.  Now I must go and take care of the 2 litters of kittens (7 total) that we found last week while trapping in a feral colony. Since our foster homes are all full - it is kitten season - I have them here at my house.  Life is never boring.
