kittens (+++??)
One of our neighbors has reaffirmed that he might be interested in adopting Olivia and Snowshoe! He was originally only seeking to adopt one, but the woman he was talking to on his porch (not sure if neighbor or partner) good-natured nagged him into considering both. :)
He seems like a super nice guy, and had a very chill old grey porch cat who seemed quite happy and well-fed, plus it means the kids will literally be three minutes away. Cross your fingers (or closest anatomical equivalent) and pray to Bastet! We're not sure exactly how to go about introducing him to the kids what with COVID and their lack of outdoor training, but this could be a real good resolution to the whole thing...
