Niki Carlotti, (L) and Aly McSheehy live in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. Aly, a teacher, and Niki, who works in events, met on OkCupid in 2013. (Niki messaged Aly first, which Aly won’t let her forget.) The idea of adopting a cat arose when Niki gave Aly an ultimatum: they had to get a cat, or they were through. Aly’s terms were that she got to choose the cat, and the rest is history.
