This is Poe.

Poe was rescued from a woodpile. TBD on whether Poe keeps his gray underfluff. He is very loved even though he screams a lot.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my limited edition "Siamese," black edition, model 2026, which I just adopted 😻

Very sweet and very calm... probably lost or abandoned. I made several posts to find his owner but I only received adoption requests 😁 so I decided to adopt him.
