“Tino and Simon, our senior boys,
immediately accepted Alexandria
as part of the family,” Jaimi said.
Alexandria even brought some new-found energy to the brothers, who
now spend their days playing chase
and keep-away with their most
coveted of items — pipe cleaners —
with their newest sibling. Yes, that’s
right: Jaimi and her furry family have
adopted Alexandria.
Jaimi couldn’t be happier with
her budding brood and is especially smitten with the cat who was
once at death’s door. Thanks to the
quick-thinking man who found her,
the fast-acting and compassionate
team at the shelter, and Jaimi’s huge
heart, Alexandria is home for good.
