Thank you, Ilovethepits, for the very kind words.

She looks just like my Lily too!!!! Maybe that is why we are having such a tough time naming her.
And yes, she sure has made herself comfortable here.

Which is good because her marathon howling sessions seem to be decreasing as she becomes more relaxed.
The good news: she has spot waiting for her at the rescue, and a vet appointment within the next few days
The bad news: she is most definitely in heat, and going nowhere soon (which really, if she quits the howling could be considered good news

)
