Angel Girl Flanagan-Grannemann, 2023-

The devil in disguise (though we can't say we weren't warned!), but *hopefully* a good companion and little sister for Roosevelt Franklin (fingers crossed!).

Columbia Animal Services Kennel Card for the kitten now known as Angel Flanagan-Grannemann (named Angela at the shelter). Listed as a calico domestic medium hair (she's actually a patched mackerel tabby with white), confiscated by an animal control officer in the field on February 1st, 2023 and spayed on February 6th, 2023, her age was estimated at 8 months (though she is likely more like 5-6 months). The note says: "I am just a teenage kitten but am already quite full of myself. We call it catitude! I can be really sweet but can change my mind without warning or apparent reason. Please use caution!" The last sentence is highlighted in pink.

Angel sits in a purple cup atop a 3-tier cat tree looking down at something on the floor with a curious expression on her face. Her feet are hanging over the edge of the cup, and her collar tags are clearly visible. There is a purple banner on the ceiling behind her head.
