He was either owned by someone and abandoned or he ran away from home. All I know is that he was found as a stray and taken to the Humane Society. I happened to be at a cat show and they were there with several cats that were up for adoption. He was everyone's favorite so they were very happy when I adopted him.

My Storm is also a shelter cat and is a Maine Coon mix. Sunny is an Aby mix and Cirrus looks like a Bengal/Occitcat mix and they're both from rescue organizations. It is possible to adopt a purebred cat from shelters and rescues. When I was looking for my first cat, I held a Scottish Fold and didn't even know anything about the breed. This was at my local Humane Society.
