Jambalaya is a "Katrina survivor" - born a few months after the storm hit, likely to one of the many, many abandoned and unspayed cats now living in the streets of New Orleans.  He just arrived from New Orleans with 100 other cats (including Nola and Neville) and dogs hoping to find a better life in California!  (They arrived via special Wells Fargo transport - a 53 foot trailer normally used for their stagecoach horses!) His nickname is "Curly-Q" because he literally has a curly-Q tail that spirals.  He purrs, wants to be pet, but is still a little shy after his cross-country trip.  We think he'll be a great lap cat and very loyal companion for the right person.
