Sorry to hear about your other kitties; I know how awful that feeling is. Like y'all are saying, it does help to adopt (and save) new friends.

Good name choices, btw.

My folks were gonna name their new cat Lily, but switched at the last minute to Cricket.

I love cats. I love dogs, too, but growing up we mostly had cats and I think due to my personality I vibe with them more.

Congrats on your new friends, Gator.
