Finally met our new furry family member upon arriving home. Still gotta name her but she is a purring machine and an absolute sweetheart.

This little guy showed up six days after my precious Sylvia passed. The very first thing he did after he warmed up to me about a week later was head butt me, (oh my heart), that's just what my Sylvia did all the time. It's been almost 2 months since her passing, it was odd the timing of him showing up here and all. I'm taking this little guy and I'm going to have him neutered tomorrow and he's moving in my home. He's such a sweet sweet little guy. I'm here because you guys are always so great about everything and I'm looking for a name for this little guy. I don't know how old he is. He's real young. I know that much but anyway he needs the name. I've thought of a few. My daughters come up with a few but I'd like to have some more ideas. Thanks ahead of time. I will send a picture. I hope I don't mess it up. I usually do LOL.
