How the Hollander-Rozanov’s get a cat:
Ilya takes Anya for her walk on a rainy Ottawa spring day (in her pink polkadot rain suit that covers her back and head and legs)
Anya finds a scent a little off their usual route and since Shane didn’t want to walk in the rain Ilya lets her go for it
A tiny little mewl is heard from the bush Anya is sniffing
Ilya recalls Anya and tells her to sit and because she is a very good girl she listens to her Papa
Ilya crawls in the mud and finds a tiny kitten soaking wet and shivering. He picks it up and tucks it into the pocked of his hoodie, under his raincoat, and hurries home
Shane asks how their dog is completely clean but Ilya is tracking mud into their house
Shane is shown the tiny kitty and falls in love almost as instantly as he fell for Ilya.
They take the kitten to the vet where she is cleaned up and dried off and checked out.
The kitten is unnamed until Scott visits and jokingly compares her to Shane with how strict she is on her schedule
Shaya the kitten shows up on the Cens social media when she’s had all her vaccinations and the internet loses their mind bc she clearly thinks Anya is her mom and Anya clearly thinks this is just some weird puppy but it’s her weird puppy tyvm
The video Harris took BTS of a pet merch shoot with Anya grooming Shaya goes viral. 16/10 rating and Shaya is dubbed “honorary puppy” by weratedogs
Idk profit? (Shane’s camera roll full of photos of Ilya and Shayna that he posts any time someone mentions “dads and the cat they didn’t want” and every time Ilya has to remind everyone that he found the cat tyvm)
