Hi, everybody. Over the years I've become something of a Cat Rescuer. Not on purpose, it just sorta happened.

I currently have three rescue cats and this is Alice, my most recent. One of her former owners died and the other is in jail. She was abandoned in a house for an entire month with someone making a 150 mile daily round trip to feed/ water her. She was headed for the pound the day after I agreed to take her had I not done so. Here, as an Owner Surrender, she would have been put down fairly quick and I just didn't think that was right. She's had a tough little life but at least now she has a safe home and a couple of sisters.

She's borderline feral but is seeming to mellow bit by bit. I've had her for nine days, it'll take many more before she feels confident and secure.

Anyway, thought I'd share. Thanks for the look and happy weekend. :)

You are a wonderful person. Not a bad photographer, either!! Nice looking Cat that will respond to love and attention. My daughter is a cat rescuer also and has had a feral or two in the past. It takes time. Again, thanks for being kind-hearted.

Thank you, Insman. I've been a dog guy my entire life. Not sure how I became the Cat Magnet, lol.

We've rescued eight ferals over the years, and they usually do tame down quite nicely. I think you will be pleased and I know the cat will have a wonderful life now! And that photo of her is exquisite!

Thank you, phv. If she can get along with the other two we'll be in good shape.

Very nice photo. I have three cats, two abandoned or escaped and one born wild to one of the others. Free range cats here in Tucson are in grave danger of being food. Love your story and care for cats.
