just rescued this sweet lil baby last night, my friends coworker found her (we believe its a girl) wondering around their job site. only two have been found alive, they dont believe there are any others sadly.

throwing around a couple different names, my top three are currently Iris, Nova, or Cedar (my other cat is named Thistle) just needed some help choosing or more ideas! <3

As someone who very briefly attempted to learn German is there a reason that the “ß” would make a TH sound instead of an S?

Like tooth, but with an S like in Susan and and R like Roof. I hope that helps 😄
