The first week back at the SPCA was bittersweet. A lot of the relationships I made with the kittens were severed; however, a lot of them were adopted into good homes, so I am grateful! Although, Fiona was still at the shelter so I continued to socialize her. Working out the cat shelter during the previous semester has made me very confident and more relaxed with animals so this semester was not as difficult.  I can understand and socialize with the cats much easier now and they don’t seem as afraid to interact as before. Hopefully, by building up my animal experience I can convince my parents to get a pet too!
