She's on a Saturday list to be euthanized.

This photo was taken the first day he let me pick him up 22 July 2022. He was still quite sick with cat flu & conjunctivitis. The vet said, like many wild strays, he had chronic FCV & FHV, which he still carries (lifelong). A stress free life is now essential for him to stay well.

It took twice daily feeding for 2½ months before Billy boy let me get near him & another 1½ months b4 I could pick him up.
Then it was off to the vet.

Memories of Past Cats 🌈

This is Emma.
I trapped her and her four kittens living inside the large and incredibly noisy HVAC enclosure that serviced the office building in which I worked. We adopted the family into our home; safe, warm and fed.

My boy is still an outdoor cat, guards my front porch every night from other feline intruders. He's spending more time indoors as time goes by & sleeps on my bed some nights for a few hours, especially in bad weather. He was starving & very sick in the beginning but he's ok now. He's a survivor.

Thanks. He was a wild, stray tom that I managed to tame.
