This is Frostbite, the kitten who took shelter in my parents’ garage during a recent period of cold weather. She’s gotten her first round of shots so far and is currently quarantining due to her lack of distemper 2. It’s been reported that she is soft and has a deafening purr.

This is not the first time the house (possibly placed upon some ancient sacred spot) has manifested an animal matching the wishes of a child occupant.
