Scout - 2PawsUp (NC), Izzy - Whiskers Animal Benevolent League (NY)

How does this photo represent the theme – Life is Better Together?
Izzy (in the foreground) is now 8 years old and Scout is about a year. I started by fostering Scout when he was just a tiny kitten, and it was a huge shock to Izzy, who had always been an only cat. However, as time went on, they clearly provided each other with good companionship and Scout became an important part of our family. So, we officially adopted him. This photo is from one of the first moments that Scout and Izzy sat calmly together on the couch. I love the photo because Izzy is so clearly relaxed. It was a huge step for them!
