Flora waits for days outside a Brooklyn apartment building.

Then the Flatbush Cats crew turns up on her block to release some neighborhood cats from their traps. Flora notices. She wanders over to find out more, the way a neighbor might stop by to ask about a ride.

She's friendly right away and lets everyone pet her. One of the rescuers kneels and holds her chin in his hand. When the carrier comes out, nobody has to coax her. She walks in on her own, the door closes behind her, and she doesn't fuss at all.

A hand on her neck is all it takes to close her eyes.

Her new family says she is the snuggliest, funniest little cat, one who always wants to be near them. She sleeps curled against them, sunbathes in the window and then tears around after a spring toy. Nobody has to coax her into any of it.
