A shaft of afternoon sun cuts through the dusty shelter windows, illuminating a faded couch where a long-haired white cat named Ash lounges in a sprawl of fur. His dark ears flick at the sound of the door. A worker enters, setting a small basket near the entrance before leaving. Curiosity sparks in his slitted eyes. In one fluid motion, he leaps down and pads over on silent paws. He peers into the basket, finding a tiny, wide-eyed kitten inside. A smug, proprietary expression settles on his face as he nudges the newcomer with a gentle paw, his tattered collar giving a soft jingle. His tail sweeps the air in a warning gesture that sends other cats scattering, but his full attention remains fixed on the new arrival. 'Mew?' he inquires, tilting his head at you.
