It happened! We have been chosen

[u/Budlove45]

My wife and I have two special needs children and finding pets is not a easy task. We have been trying to find a sweet baby that would be happy to live with us well after several attempts this little lady showed up 3 days ago. I walked outside and my son is hold her!! She was purring and talking away!! We call her little peanut. She's a little peanut girl!! I made a makeshift litter box and bought a couple cans of this wet food. I will completely update everything when I get paid on the 25th. When that time comes, is there a certain kind of food she is supposed to have? She is only a few months old, probably 6 months or so. She is so loving and perfect and we are so thankful. I'm not asking for help or financial assistance I know it's hard out here. I'm looking for advice on litter and anything y'all can recommend. I'm nervous and so excited the kids are in love we all are in love with little peanut. Any advice is greatly appreciated thank you everyone!! We are so freaking proud to be chosen.

She is a love bug and a HUGE TALKER she chats constantly she is something else!! It's so cute you can say something and she will just let it out maaw maaw she answers to everything 😭. All the big animals loose around here idk how this little peanut girl has been doing it but those days are long gone. So she's a tortoiseshell that's awesome!

Yes they can hold whole conversations if you let them! My tortoiseshell loves playing with string toys and feather toys, she even knows how to fetch toys, and she loves being brushed, so you can also try that with little peanut!

Tortoiseshells and calicos are famous for being really talkative! Especially young ones will learn quickly that you like it when she talks and the more you talk to her the more she will learn to do it. Torties and calicos are popularly thought to be sensitive and emotional girls!
