Our New Family Member

With the purchase of our new house, we were also able to adopt a cat, something we've wanted to do for quite awhile. Darreck and I both feel passionately about animal welfare and animal adoption. While we know we can't save them all, we were excited to save one from being put down at the animal shelter. We adopted a 2-1/2 year old, smoke point Siamese female cat and named her Santana.

Since she came from the shelter, she had an upper respiratory infection and enlarged larynx, so we're dealing with some health issues right now. However, she's adjusted nicely to our household, and we're happy to have her.
