34. Our shelter cat

Wed Dec 10, 2025, 06:00 PM

Dec 10

She had some name at the shelter. We gave her time to acclimate and we noticed she really looked around the house. When we found her part way up the fireplace chimney we decided to call her Scout since she had to scout out e very nook and cranny.
