Sympathetic lead

This story is off to a very good start! Not only is the pacing just right, I also like that there are a lot of line breaks which makes it way easier to read.

I feel the characters are genuine and have a certain depth. I am therefore interested in how they will grow throughout the story. In other words, I'm really looking forward to reading more!

What I would like to recommend is to keep the suspense up a little longer. By giving off the names pretty early, you can quickly guess who this person is supposed to be. I think it would be a nice twist if the reader remains unknowing - just like Isa. This would, in turn, strengthen the narrative perspective.

Interesting premise

As a cat lover, the premise sounds really interesting, even though I'm not really a fan of modern stories. :-)
The pacing is good and I enjoy reading from Quorra's POV.

I noticed, however, one flaw with this story. Quorra, who is suffering from mysophobia, working at a cat sanctuary sounds like an unlikely scenario. The office she works in is described as messy. She wouldn't consider it as a peaceful environment and would have spent many hours making it orderly, just so she could control the number of possible germs in that space. Also, it would have been better to show more scenes with her washing her hands, wearing gloves etc. instead of telling outright in the very first chapter she has germophobia.

I also recommend trying to use the free version of Grammarly, I really love it since it helps get rid of unnoticed typos (e.g. the "too" vs. "to" in the first paragraph of Chapter 1).
