Well, it has been 1 year since I first saw Vegas. It was while Mark and I were living with my mom while building our new house. The first time I saw Vegas I fell in love with him. I must admit that he certainly had issues...terrified of people, aggressive towards people and other cats, loaded with worms, and a broken hip and broken stump of a tail....love and patience works wonders for a cat who has no trust in anyone.
When it came time for Mark and I to move I had to leave Vegas behind at my mom's until we could get settled and get the other 7 cats settled. So he stayed with mom for 2 weeks. Then we loaded him up in a carrier, put him in the back of the truck with blankets over the carrier to keep him warm and calm and we took him home where he stayed in our basement for a week before he was gradually introduced into the house. Vegas had some more issues but I must say that this cat is the most greatful cat that I have ever rescued. He absolutely loves Gracie and Gabriel, I actullay call him the baby sitter, because he is constantely with those 2 either playing, sleeping of giving them a bath. He has gone from 6 lbs when I first saw him to 22 lbs.
Vegas I love you so much and I'm so glad that you trusted me enough because you have found your forever home baby.

You sure have put on a few pounds and you certainly fit right into our family. :)
