Form letter from her assistant, Claire. As impersonal as getting a "Dear Author" is a form from the agent's assistant lol.

"I have shared your query with Catherine and I’m afraid that she can’t offer representation at this time. She wishes you the best of luck.

Warm regards,

Claire"

After Catherine requested a full (and passed) on my MS last year, I emailed her (8/24/17) to let her know I'd just finished a complete rewrite.

I queried my new project (#ownvoices contemp YA) on 03/06, got a partial request from Claire 03/07, which got upgraded to a full 03/08.
R&R 03/22
07/06: Claire reached out to ask how revisions were going: I told her I revised, but not quite how her and Catherine suggested, and asked if they were still interested
07/07: Claire said they were still interested, I sent the new draft

Kind, personal rejection from Catherine's assistant, Claire. They seem like they would have been a great team to work with!

Haven't received a reply yet; could it be because I used submissions@inkwellmanagement.com (as listed on their website) instead of catherine@inkwellmanagement.com (as listed on Query Tracker)?
