Jen and Chris had been looking for a friend for their cat, Pinecon, for months when baby Tulip's grin appeared on their computer screens. Jen says, "Her grin in the tiny ad immediately attracted us in."

The couple applied for adơрtion right away and were accepted. They couldn't believe Tulip was still smiling even at the shelter when they went to see her. They had an instant connection with her. "We fell in love with her beauty and demeanor the instant we met her in person," Jen said.
