The image of your cat is so arresting, though rescued, confidently reclining under the table... Indeed, a sweet buddy.

Dear Tania, how sweet to see in a rescued animal, the way the eyes brighten before the rest of the body believes it’s safe. I love how you let the whole story hinge on that change. Oh what it means to finally belong, congrats. Blessings, Daniel
