Sophie went home yesterday.
I don't know how much of this I've ever mentioned around here, if any of it, so a quick summary: In about November 2011,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
violetcheetah and I started volunteering at a private, no-kill cat shelter. (Late in the summer, we were brought onto the Board of Directors as well.) We have too many cats, but folks do come in seeking cats, and on good weekends we send one or two cats to a new home.
It's hard, sometimes, because it's easy to get attached. I've only adopted one cat from the shelter (so far; I will be strong!), but I've had several favorites leave, and I miss them quite a lot. It's the right move, and they're almost certainly happier in a home with a family, and I'm happy for them ... but.
( Cut for length and a medical digression ... )
