Perusing the animal shelter
Scrutinizing each feline
Concealing the tangible hope
Intentions to adopt my first pet

Growls, hisses, and meows envelope me
I eavesdrop on their conversations
Observing particular interactions
Intentions to adopt my first pet

Analyzing the rectangular enclosure
Halting to caress the imprudent tom cat
Disharmonized the feline becomes hostile
Intentions to adopt my first pet

Traipsing to the last cage
Pessimism creeping into my spine
Deterring the crestfallen tears
Intentions to adopt my first pet

Altruistic amber eyes stumbled upon mine
Cordial meows emerged from her vocal cords
Caressing my hand as I fixated it on the metal
Intentions to adopt my first pet

Documentations completed, credentials approved
Entrées purchased and litter box invested
A name assured forever
Intentions to adopt my first pet

Charcoal and marshmallow white fluff mesmerize
Burrowing parallel to my head on my pillow
Unconditional love forever
Adopting my first pet
