Charco and Mesa of the Sleeping Lion

Formally feral cats of the Bramble colony outside Vancouver BC.
Charco was shot in the face, had skin and teeth issues, and has ongoing heart issues that require long term human care to live his best life. He also needed a friend.

Mesa is another formal feral. He had limited human contact until June 2024. He still isn’t sure about the petting thing but finds humans fascinating.
Zoe is still a snuggle bug and purr master but she also a super playful lady who is looking for a new home where she can rule the roost. She’s located outside Vancouver BC.

Mesa is in his happy place on this wet and raining morning.
And before you ask, he will say, no, he does not have enough stick toys.

This is my blanket. Claim it at your own risk.
I never guessed what a simple blanket on a hardwood floor would turn into. Apparently it’s the best thing ever. It hides sticks, provides room for slide maneuvers, and is a warm spot in front of the fire.
They both love it, but Mesa loves it more

This is one mighty feral cat and his fierce protector.
It is so hard not to just spend all day petting them

Sister in law was in town and was trying to be good and do her PT exercises. Charco of course had to help correct her form.
