The duo from the Animal Rescue Association did not have a problem with Lin Xiaowan’s plan.
One of them said, “You can get the kitten vaccinated and dewormed at Furry Love Veterinary Hospital on Huaijing Road. We have a partnership with the hospital. Do you know where that is? It’s not too far from here…”
After that, the other party added, “Naturally, this is just a suggestion. You can choose to go to another vet…”
The Furry Love Veterinary Hospital was a partner of the Animal Rescue Association. Previously, the Animal Rescue Association had filmed a cute pet documentary there.
The hospital was very big; it had three floors. It was located at the intersection, and the huge blue and white signboard was very eye-catching.
Lin Xiaowan nodded. “I know where it is. Its location is very convenient.”
Apart from finalizing the adoption today, the duo from the Animal Rescue Association also had another small request.
One of them explained, “There’s another matter. We’re quite active on social media. Recently, we posted a video of the rescue. After that, we received a message from someone who also wanted to adopt Little Chestnut. We said that Little Chestnut has already been adopted, but the person said that he was willing to pay for Little Chestnut. The problem is that someone then commented that everything was just an act to raise the price of Little Chestnut.”
“We were wondering if we could film a short video of you and Little Chestnut when you bring it home. At that time, we’ll also film us finalizing and signing the adoption agreement to prove ourselves.”
Lin Xiaowan did not have much of a problem with this, but she was concerned about one thing. She said, “1 feel a bit shy to be on camera. However, I’m fine with it as long as you mosaic my face and name on the agreement.”
Since they planned to use this as evidence, the agreement would naturally be shown to everyone.
“Of course. This is a matter of your privacy after all.”
In fact, Lin Xiaowan really could not understand the minds of those people who commented on the video. After all, they did not mention money at all during the entire process. However, just because someone expressed their willingness to pay for Little Chestnut, the matter blew up.
‘How strange…’
Lin Xiaowan was also not sure if the short video would be able to solve this matter. After all, if those people really wanted to look for trouble, they would not believe it no matter what. Moreover, it was likely that they would be even more skeptical since her face and name would be hidden.
In any case, Lin Xiaowan did not express her opinion to the duo. In any case, it was not a big problem, and it did not matter to her. After that, she asked about the Dragon Li cat and Little Chestnut’s mother.
“The mother has yet to recover from her fungal infection so she’s still living in isolation in the small room,” one of them said, “She’s still very vigilant and wary. It’s as though she thinks we’re bad people. Every time we checked on her or applied medicine for her, she’d struggle and scratch us. It didn’t help when we showed her the kittens as well. She has a really bad temper…”
“As for the Dragon Li cat. We’re also looking for someone to adopt it. We returned to the place we found her and asked around; we confirmed that it’s also a stray cat. It only appeared recently. However, seeing how docile it was and how it didn’t seem afraid of us, we suspect that it had an owner before. We just don’t know if it was abandoned or if it ran away…”
After a while, the chef and a few of his students arrived with all the ingredients needed for today. When he saw so many people, he asked, “Should I make more food for dinner tonight?”
Lin Xiaowan invited the duo to stay for dinner, but they refused her politely. She could not help but feel slightly regretful. After all, the chef was a master of various cuisines; his skills were top-notch. She felt that it was a pity that they could not eat the food he cooked.
Seeing that the chef was about to get busy, the duo felt that it was not appropriate to stay any longer. They rose to their feet and prepared to leave.
As the host, Lin Xiaowan saw them out.
When the duo arrived at the entrance, they saw shoes, which clearly belonged to a man. With this, they remembered that Lin Xiaowan was living with her boyfriend.
One of them asked worriedly, “Your boyfriend isn’t home? Is he okay with cats?”
Lin Xiaowan smiled brightly and replied, “Yes. I’ve already spoken to him about this!”
Previously, she had decided to custom-make the scratching post, and she had asked Huo Zheng about it. At that time, he had said, “That’s a good idea. You can do whatever you want.”
Despite how perfunctory his reply sounded, seeing how serious Lin Xiaowan was, he also listened very attentively.
Before they left, Lin Xiaowan asked, “Can 1 go over to visit the kitten?”
Huo Zheng had never seen Little Chestnut before so he did not know how cute it was. In her opinion, once he saw it, he definitely would not be so indifferent anymore/
The duo naturally had no objections.
“Of course, you can come anytime. We have people there every day.”
A few days later.
When Huo Zheng and Lin Xiaowan visited the Animal Rescue Association in the afternoon, the kittens had just returned from getting their vaccination shots.
The Dragon Li cat lived in the same room as the kittens. At this time, it was wearing an Elizabethan collar around its neck. Just as the others said, it was really not afraid of humans at all. As soon as Lin Xiaowan entered the room, it meowed affectionately and rubbed itself against her leg as though it was welcoming her. After that, it jumped to the side to play.
When Lin Xiaowan saw the Elizabethan collar, she asked curiously, “Why is she wearing that thing?”
“She was spayed two days ago. The collar is to prevent her from licking or biting her wounds,” the staff member said with a smile.
At this time, the staff member finally noticed the tall and handsome man dressed in a suit standing next to Lin Xiaowan.
Seeing this, Huo Zheng nodded slightly as a greeting. Then, he shifted his attention back to Lin Xiaowan who had run off to play with the cats.
Life at the Animal Rescue Association was good for the kittens. They ate well and slept well. In just a few days, they had grown visibly.
Lin Xiaowan’s heart softened immediately when she saw the kittens.
“They grew so fast! They’re much cuter and healthier now!”
‘Cats grow and change just like humans!’
“Can I carry them?”
“Of course, you can. Moreover, the kittens’ claws aren’t that sharp yet so you don’t have to worry. However, after bringing Little Chestnut back, don’t forget to trim her nails regularly.”
Since Lin Xiaowan arrived, she had completely thrown Huo Zheng to the back of her mind.
Seeing that she had no intention of making introductions, the staff member felt that it was a little awkward.. As such, she asked, “This person is…”
