Help! Found a cat

Oh My! He is beautiful and it sounds to me like he has adopted YOU! It is a shame you can't keep him, he looks and sounds like the perfect kitty!

Wow he sure is handsome!

*Snicker* How many times have we said "I can NOT keep him!" and then he's still there 6 months later... until you finally admit he's not going anywhere. Honestly, he could become the peacemaker between al the kitties!

But first thing first, find out a way to get him nuetered before he snell up your apartment. Even if he uses his letterbox faithfully, they SMELL!

I would give him a chance at getting along with your two Cats.
And i would have him neutered as even if you cannot keep him, he will be far more adoptable if he is already fixed, and has been seen by a Vet.

Pnance,

He's beautiful!!! He looks like a Turkish Angora Wannabe. I'm glad you took him in.

The way to create a happy environment is to introduce them gradually. Keep him in the bathroom and rub him down with a towel. Allow your cats to smell his scent. If you can, do the same with your cats and allow "new" kitty to smell their scent. If you can get baby gates from friends, stack two of them, on on top of another, in the doorway of the bathroom, allowing them to see each other, but having protection. There will be hissing, spitting and growling. After a week or so of that, let the new cat out to explore, putting your cats in a room. Allow new kitty a while to get used to his surroundings. Show him where the litterboxes, food and water are. As long as there is no bloodshed, just standby with a squirt bottle to break up any real confrontations (ears back, fighting stance, bloodshed)

"Can't keep him"??? SURE YOU CAN!!!!
