We (in conjunction with a lot of family) rescued Isabella, Sesame, and their sibling Baobao from the streets in San Jose in January 2025. In San Jose, we took them to the vet, got them spayed and neutered, and ended up finding a home for Baobao. With the help of our in-law Kimmy, we got Sesame and Isabella up to Seattle, and eventually found a home for the pair. Sesame is a grey tabby, and he's really outgoing and playful. Even off the street, he was the first to approach us. On the other hand, Isabella is solid white and quite a bit more shy. Sesame showed her how to trust people though.

Sesame and Isabella both became friends with our resident cats Brunson and Ruby. Brunson would even snuggle up with the two of them a lot, and let them into his cat tree.
