Twingle's first day at our home

Twingle is an eight year old grey tabby with a strikingly beautiful face and big hazel eyes. I remember when she first got back to Kitty kind after losing her home, a very sad story. Of course Twingle didn't like one bit to be back after such a long time and right away became very defensive. I used to dread cleaning her every Friday, most weeks all we were able to do for her was get her food, fresh water and a clean litter box.
On Wednesday, after receiving Janette's email, I decided that I could and wanted to do more for the cats, I've been a cleaner at Kitty kind for about two years, and volunteered to foster a cat. The fostering process moved along very fast, Janette put me in contact with Miriam and my husband and I met with  her today at Petco. We decided to take advantage of the fact that we don't have any pets of our own and take in a more "challenging" cat. Miriam suggested Twingle, to give her a cage break and also for the need that kk has to accurately assess her personality.

I brought Twingle home this afternoon with the intention to set her up in our half bath to decompress and let her spend there her first day at our home. I felt sorry about giving her such limited space and decided to make our second bedroom hers for the day; complete with a nice litter box, food and a couch for her to use as a bed. I set everything up before letting her out of her carrier and then freed her to explore her new quarters on her own.
About an hour later I didn't resist and came back for a first visit. To  my surprise I was welcomed by a different cat bumping the head into my legs demanding to be petted. She only hissed at me once when I got too comfortable and decided to play with her tail.
Later in the evening I came back for a second visit and took some nice pictures of her.

My hope is that Twingle will  thrive at our home and come back to Petco a different cat, making it possible for her to finally find her forever home.
