Amazing Tales, New Cats, & Warnings!

This guy is Joe...and indeed, he's a regular Joe...grounded and happy.  He showed up at my colony, eager to connect, but frightened.  After I was able to pick him up, I brought him home...what a love! Gets along with all the others, strong and healthy, (now) neutered, and ready for his own home.

Joe's got eyes on you!
The dignified gentleman below is recuperating from who knows how long on the streets. A kind woman was feeding him, but he was losing ground.  I had taken him some medicine, but when I saw him, I knew he needed to be taken in hand. The woman agreed, and I carried him home.  He let me bathe all the mud, and comb all the mats, off him, and after he gained strength, he went in for "the works"... he had bad teeth: eight of them, unfortunately, came out; he had an ultrasound and x-rays, as his abdomen seemed "off". I was afraid it was full of fluid, but no! He was just constipated. All fixed now! His mouth was badly infected, and is getting better every day. We LOVE him! He is an older man, and perfectly comfortable with the other cats here! I can't wait till his gorgeous long fur is shiny and thick again.  He will be available for adoption when he is healed and strong!

I just kissed the kitten below, who arrived yesterday, and I smelled the toxic chemical smell...which so many smell of when they arrive, even newborns in blankets!  The smell may take weeks to leave their fur...! I want to recommend the movie STINK, about the dangers of chemicals in so many products, cleaning, cosmetic, etc. It's on Netflix...Don't miss it!!

So what's the amazing story, you ask?  This guy was found in the middle of the street, taken on BART to Oakland and back, no carrier, safely, and on to me.  The folks had to go to the County Building, and had no option but to take him with them.  He would not go into a bag, not sure what they had, but he rode the screamingly noisy BART train there, weathered the admin nightmare, and made it back to their home, kids and all! THAT is a miracle.
​  
When he got here, except for smelling of toxins, he was calm and collected, until he encountered another cat. I was afraid it might take some time for him to adjust (had he never been around other kittens??) He's over that now, and starting to throw his weight around! Love this guy. Named him Gary. He will be ready for a new home very soon!!
