We do have almost 60 cats at the shelter but only 5 or 6 are in the reception area. Heidi,the white one, is our mascot. Aneth (Dill) is the black one and Jeremy is the ginger. We also have Evelyne and Oompa. And old man Daniel (15) often takes a nap here.

Fun fact: Van der Waals interactions are what keep geckos stuck to stuff. It’s similar to covalent and ionic bonds. It’s how geckos can climb waals.

Follow up fun fact. In college, I asked 3 physics professors what an example of this interaction was, they all independently said Geckos. Not one could name another example.
