Pretty Scarlett is a lovely, young, all-black female, who, like so many other felines here, was a stray. We’re told Scarlett is good with other cats, but not with dogs.

Update: while Scarlett continues on the timid side, we are delighted by her progress. She will approach people now, at times, to ask for attention, and she really seems to like it; she’ll even rub against you to ask for more. We think she’ll continue to become more trusting and affectionate with time—if the rowdy boys living in her suite don’t take up all the humans’ attentions, that is!
