Oh, I'll foster him til I find him a home, Gary, no worries there. He's too friendly; there's no way I'm letting him back outdoors. This boy will get hurt. He's safe now until I can find him a home.

Your neighbor sounds like he needs the "weeny whack" procedure himself, lol.

He's gorgeous Mary! I love orange tabbies!


Zachariah, a fellow orange tabby, says Hi! and Welcome to Pt, Buddy!!

Looking at that picture of him again. Doesn't it look like he had been wearing a collar at one time?

Bet he was dumped by someone.

Yes, it does look like a collar indentation. While he might have been dumped, he could also have slipped his collar and actually has a home. He looks to be in pretty good condition. I had a big orange ex-tom, dumped by neighbors, who used to slip his snap-collars all the time. I'm going to assume with all your experience that you will be posting "found cat" posters.

Your rescue friends shouldn't mind at least posting him for you. Within my rescue group, it's always a relief when a new rescue turns out to be a young, friendly marmalade boy because they are usually adopted within a week.

Glad you were there to whisk him away to a friendly foster place. Have you considered getting some skunk oil and sneaking it onto your neighbor's logs?

Yes, I thought that perhaps he had a collar at one time. He's really healthy; no sneezing or coughing, no runny eyes, no dirty ears. He's a regular purr machine and love sponge. Whether he belongs to anyone or not, though, he's getting neutered. I don't want to see a bunch of orange babies running around, especially w/my redneck neighbor who kicks cats. I'm going to have them check, too, to see if he's microchipped but I doubt that because the houses that I think he may have come from are, well, never mind. I'm going to look for "lost cat" posters tomorrow and if no one comes forward, I'll make some and post them after he's home from being neutered. This couldn't come at a worse time. My house is all torn up because I'm having work done in my family room and the workers need the garage to set up and I can't bring Buddy in because of the Fur Posse.

I'm trying hard not to fall in love again but his purr is identical to Puddy's. She had a two-toned purr, a low rumble mixed w/a high pitched sound. It was really sweet and it makes me cry just thinking about it. I took a few more pix. I called my friend who is trying hard to stop rescuing. Her husband is having fits because they have 8 of their own and are fostering 8 more. Her daughters fell for Buddy instantly and he fell asleep in their laps. Adorable.
