That is HUGE progress!! I liked when you said you came back and Zam was on top of the carrier and they were both purring...awww....

I don't know what everyone else thinks, but I think if you have a friend who is willing to take him, that would leave you free to rescue other kitties. I mean, you've already rescued Zam and Eli, and now Little Boy, so it sounds like there will no doubt be more strays in the area that will need your help.

He sounds like a little cutie, and I'm so happy he's starting to feel more comfortable. It's amazing that it took a big blanket to get him, but then he was purring by the time they brought him back. What kind of miracle stuff did they give him when they took him "in the back?
