"I do," Noah says, because he wasn't about to buy Freddie an entire cat without a little box and food and the supplies he'll need to take care of her. But bringing them in with the cat would have ruined the surprise, so he's stashed them in the hallway for the moment.

He's also prepared to keep her himself if Freddie doesn't want her.

"We don't adopt out cats there, she's from the shelter. Someone brought in a pregnant stray a few months ago and this is one of the kittens from her litter. That's why I couldn't give her to you on time, I had to wait for her to be old enough to be weaned from her mom," Noah explains, sitting down on the arm of the couch.
