Velvet, now renamed Kindle, is working out great. She quickly made peace with our other cats, and has adopted our dog as her personal pet. She is very energetic and loves to have play time in the morning with a feather toy. Her only vice-ripping apart the toilet paper--is fairly benign, and I know will probably go away as she gets older. You can look for her at the Ferry County Fair this Labor Day weekend, as one of my kids will be showing her for 4-H.
