I am trying to "downsize". When we moved I had 48 cats. Last week, when Holmsey was PTs, I had 31. I now have 32 again.....
Husband sent me a text from his work to say a cat was there with a collar and was starving and injured...... There is a large feral colony there, and they had beat the living daylights outta this poor guy, basically, and he was getting no food (from the onside restaurant where the ferals get fed). Hubby (I have him well trained!) had already fed him twice but the poor guy was crying for attention. So I went, bought a carrier on my way from college, and we got him. We have called him Gentleman Jim after a boxer in the 1800s, because although in-neutered, he is such a gent!
There are no houses at my hubby's workplace, and Jim is not neutered. I still have to check for a chip, but I doubt he has one. I checked all the lost and found sites and he isn't there. So it looks like he will be staying. He had one of those awful elastic aged collars on him. He is jet black, with just a few white guard hairs. He reminds me of Holmsey so much.....
I will get him checked for a chip this week, but he is welcome to stay. He hadn't a hope of surviving with the ferals to be honest, he even backs off for the mini cats when it comes to food. He has injuries but no infection thankfully. He is young and strong and healthy, so cold have roamed, or been dumped (it's a popular animal dumping site. Someone even drove two German shepherds there to shoot them one day)
New cat.....!

Re: New cat.....!
Also, husband said he was very small and very thin..... He is a grand big cat and has a perfect body condition score! Hmmmmmm....... Methinks hubby is even more of a softie than I thought! His colleague thought he was thin too, but he really isn't. He is long and sleek, like Holmsey was. like a panther...... Is fat becoming the norm for our animals folks??? They tell us in college that people's perceptions of animals are changing..... That overweight is now seen as normal.......??? This cat is certainly NOT underweight.....
