Hey everyone,
I've commented on a few threads on this site already (only discovered it a few days ago), but I think it would be nice to make a formal introduction.
My name is Lauren. I'm 20, and I just recently graduated from college with my bachelors degree (two weeks ago!). I am now back home with my parents, but am just job hunting, forming new friends and acquaintances, and trying to find my place in the world. I have two awesome teenage brothers, and two lovable indoor cats (an easy-going male Maine Coon and a hyper-active muted-Calico female).
I've loved cats ever since our first stray ended up on our doorstep, and a few years ago, I discovered Bengals, which led to Savannahs. I recently decided I'd really love to get one. I decided an F2 or an F3 would be a good fit, but knew I'd have to save up for an early generation SV. My parents surprised me by saying they, too, had become interested in a SV, and that they'd help me pay for one as a graduation present. They will also help pay for its care until I get a stable job (since they already pay for food and maintenance on the other cats). I am committed to keeping this cat wherever life takes me, and I hope she'll become a wonderful furry companion to me, my family, and other cats.
After checking out a few breeders last week, we finally settled on Halestone Savannahs, with Mike and Sandy Hale, here in Southern CA. They were fantastic, knowledgeable, and experienced, and I selected the last available F2 from their latest F2 litter. She's a beautiful little girl, and I have to wait until mid-June to bring her home. I've pretty much settled on naming her Vienna (like the city, not like the sausage, haha).
I'm so excited! I'll be visiting her plenty until I can bring her home. In the meantime, I'm sure I'll be spending some time on this forum, too. I've already found it to have a wealth of great information and to be full of helpful members!
Nice to meet you all! : ) If you have any advice, feel free to share, as I have a few weeks to make preparations for my kitty's arrival.
