Our new arrival's name is Helena. Here she is, cuddling up behind her new roommate:

She previously lived with a crazy cat lady - literally. When the woman was evicted, she had 40 cats, all of which were in bad shape (some had resorted to cannibalism). They told us she wasn't eating much at the shelter, but she started digging in right away when we brought her home.
She was skittish at first, but only for about, say, 15 minutes. She was sleeping on our bed her first night here! She's now (on day 3) adjusted completely, cuddling with her new roommate (who is thrilled to have a new friend) and chasing him around the living room in the middle of the night at top speed.

Any idea how old she is?
Sounds like she is in heaven and you guys are just what she's needing -- place she's feeling safe enough to eat, enjoy petting and worship, companionship that's welcoming and not competition or equally stressed ...
How can I find people like you guys for my two abuse case girls? *sigh* They need quiet homes with laps and patience (both have Trust Issues. Both are lapcats now, but will take time to become as trusting of their new humans)
