Help!

There is a tuxedo cat that comes by to visit my apartment about once a month. I call him Charlie. I feed and pet him everytime I see him. My problem is I would LOVE to bring him in, but I have a nine year old female cat. She hates everyone and everything that is not me. I did have another cat, but he died due to contaminated pet food. He was seven when I rescued her. She never really liked him, but tolerated him, as he was here first. I live on a very busy four lane highway in West Knoxville, Tn., and I am so afraid I am going to go to work one morning and find Charlie in the road. I don't think Squeak would EVER accept him. She hisses and smacks me if I let her smell my hand after I pet him. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. THANKS!

can you take Charlie in and put him in your bathroom or a separate room until you can find him a home?

I live in a 4 room apartment. I really don't think Squeak would tolerate him. She's very hateful to outsiders. Sometimes even to me.

Ummm... how about taking him in and rehoming Squeak, lol.
Sorry.... sometimes that's just what I feel like doing with my own guys when they are meanie heads and my fosters are sweetie pies!

Have you tried contacting your local no kill shelters?

Squeak was 4 weeks old when she found me. She was in an abandoned car screaming her head off when my ex-husband rescued her. It's kind of funny because I didn't want her when he brought her home, but she quickly made me her human.

I have not tried the no kill shelters, but that is an option. Thanks. I just wish there was someway I could keep him. He is such a sweet boy! He rolls over to let me pet his belly! He would rather have lovin' than food.
