Sharon suggested meeting at her home in Enon. Although Rachel couldn’t bring her kitty to initially meet Checkers, she was eager to meet Checkers and could see how the match would be perfect. Discussions were about best practices for introductions— especially with an FeLV diagnosis— talking through slow transitions, separate spaces, and careful observation. As we finalized details, we also shared a few stories about our pets and what we’d learned through fostering. By the end of the call, I felt hopeful: this didn’t just sound like a good match—it sounded like the beginning of a new little family dynamic. The anticipation of that first meeting filled us both with joy.
