Madeline is beautiful, and it's so sweet to see a nice life for her beginning with you guys! I can't imagine what Leila or Leo had to endure on their own for a while before they were rescued by the groups we adopted them from. I have no idea what Claudia was doing before the rescue group took her in to put up for adoption - it's hard to imagine that she was a stray, if she's that much a snowshoe and so small and so friendly. My mom's new cat Belle had quite a hard time getting adopted b/c she just didn't show her personality much in the adoption cages. Once she got home with us (we adopted her and took her to my parents house 2 hours away), she was just the cutest thing, purring, head-butting us for petting, meowing happily. She seemed to really settle in with my parents pretty quickly too. It's so nice when we can give these great creatures homes to be happy in!
