"As you can tell by the title, I recently adopted my first kitten. I thought she was way too cute to not share with the world.
Her name is Buttercup. I brought her home on Thursday. I knew that I wanted a kitten, but I adopted her a little bit unexpectedly. I was looking at the local Humane Society's website when I saw her, and instantly hopped in my car to go get her because she was just so gorgeous and beautiful…"
