Fir is now renamed Loki, and he’s doing great! He only took a few hours to warm up to his new home and fits right in. He loves to play all day long and his favorite spots in the house are either curled up in bed or at the very top of one of the cat trees. He warmed up to everyone quickly, including his new sister, Willow, we got from there with him. He fits right in and I love him very much! 🙂
