In the popular series “The Last Kingdom,” Freya is a fierce warrior, friend and enemy. At TCRAS, Freya isn’t fierce at all. She’s a young kitty who has traveled a long way hoping to find my family here in Colorado. She’s also shy and sweet, which the other Freya is not. If you’re going to have one of the Freyas in your home, this one is definitely the better choice.

Elvis has still not left the building and it just doesn’t make any sense. He’s friendly, energetic and a fast learner — just lay off of those blue suede shoes. He just wants someone to take him home and “love me tender.” Thank you very much.
