THE FORMER ORPHAN


This is Smokey. He's the innie/outie that showed up just over a year ago during a very, very rare April snowstorm. He couldn't have been more than a big kitten. He had a collar with a missing tag and wasn't afraid to say "please be my mommy." He was someone's kitty once. He's very sweet. Was either neutered or born that way. Doesn't want to stay in but goes very far from the house. Recently he's taken to wanting a lap for awhile in the evenings. He is a big cat but very gentle.

Oh, he probably was fixed, and either the owner died or decided to abandon him. Both our "walk-ons" are fixed. Makes things a little easier when it comes to cat fights/procreation. They're sweet, and it's nice to have kitties outside AND inside...

Well Amber didn't make through the winter. So we're actually down to four that we claim and a couple that show up for breakfast. They've been in the neighborhood for several years and have either shifted allegiance or the folks that were looking after them moved. We met their original caretaker. She was able to catch them and get them neutered but they definitely are wanderers within the neighborhood.
