Welcome Scooter! He's lovely, seems to have some silver in his grey coat

Hope he settles in soon and gets used to his new surroundings; it's great of you to take him in

Welcome darling Scooter. Please don't be afraid, you are now with someone who will love and take care of you and see that you will never be hungry again. And you have new friends looking to meet you.

What a cutie pie, my girlfriends cat is grey and white and is called scooter, they thought he was a boy, but found out he is a girl, but kept the name anyhow.

Scooter was supposed to get his booster shot Tuesday. After I scared the daylights out of him getting him in the carrier, I find out that the vet is gone for the week!

I took poor Scooter home and let him loose with the other cats in the room. He promptly 'scooted' out the cat flap and into the pen. He bounced off of walls for a while--really!--and settled under the plant. When I tried to take his dinner to him, he flew back up the ramp and into the house again.

He seems to be a little less scared, but still very wary. It may be a long time before I can touch him. I think he'll do better out of the cage than in it. He has touched noses with Mooch and Shai, and runs from BC. He accepts food from me now, so I guess that's a good sign.

There are no real hiding places in the cat room, just open carriers and a box with a 3/4 length curtain. He likes the box best

I can finally pet Sox. She's my tux that I've had since February. She's still a little skittish, but comes to me for attention in the evening. She likes to get her cheeks rubbed and gentle strokes down her back. She's crazy about Mooch!

I'll update if (when) I make some progress.

My Bob was a wall-climber who took a long, long time to settle into being a house cat, and he's still a no-see-em when anyone visits, but he's entirely comfortable now with me and with the other cats. We have long happy belly-rub sessions on the sofa--he purrs like thunder.

I'm sure Scooter will figure out that he's got the good life now, and he'll settle down and enjoy it.
