Such a PERFECT name for her. Congrats on winning a cat despite best efforts of the shelter.
I have fond memories of having to essentially extort our local shelter to get Pye-dog out. He was a 2 year old hyperactive border collie type who started as an outdoor dog then was trammeled in a series of increasingly restrictive apartments. The shelter didn't want to adopt him to my family because we had a farm and he would have a kennel in the barn, not the house. Any dog that had lived indoors, went their reasoning, was no longer suited to outdoor life and would surely perish. But he was also at the end of an extended grace period, and was about to be declared unadoptable and be perished anyway, so they grudgingly let us have him. He went fifteen years with us.
