I got Bella from the Humane Society. I probably should have chosen one of the older cats, as it's not a no-kill shelter, but Bella was standing against the edge of her cage, begging me to come take her home. Her brother and sister were also in the cage, but they were (I believe) still recovering from the spay/neuter.
Rowan was in the bushes outside my house about two weeks after I adopted Bella. I'm in the basement, and I thought that his cries were a bird, since I didn't have a window open on that side of the house. The boys upstairs got tired of the crying (after about 12 hours!), and came down to ask me if Bella had gotten out. As I came to answer the door, holding Bella, they realized that it wasn't her. The two guys upstairs and a neighbor caught Rowan (and scared him half to death), but their little rescue plan wasn't really planned to the 'after catching the kitten' phase, so I took him in for the night, fully planning on taking him over to the Humane Society the next day. I guess I just never got around to it, and no one called about the 'Found Kitten' posters, so he's still here. He and Bella are buddies now, though, so he's allowed to stay. Not that I could make him leave, because I don't think that even Bella and her wanderlust could convince him to go outdoors again.
