Both my kitties are rescues.

Rudie was in a shelter living in a box for about 3 years. He was scared, skinny and looking miserable. Nobody ever gave him a chance because 'he was not social'.
He's the most loving cat I've ever had. I love him so much! He's my big boy - happy, always chatting and in a good mood.

Eddy was in the same rescue. She was given away by an old lady whose other cat passed away and she didn't feel like keeping Eddy as an only cat. She and Rudie were best friends at the shelter, so we took them both.
