My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Gargamel—our big, black-and-white floof with markings as unique as his name. Yes, he shares a name with the cartoon villain… but unless you’re three apples tall and blue, you have nothing to worry about. Gargamel’s only weapon is a massive purr.

This senior gentleman (8–9 years old) was found outside, dodging raindrops and dashing out for love whenever he spotted a friendly human. He’d lean against people’s legs, gaze up with those big eyes, and basically scream: “I do not belong out here in a feral colony!” And he didn’t.

Where did he come from? That’s the mystery. He was already neutered, but had no microchip and nobody claimed him. What we do know: the colony cats weren’t kind to him, and now he’ll need a slow introduction with other cats.

He’s also FIV positive—likely the result of being attacked by an unfixed tom after being abandoned. If you’ve followed us for a while, you know FIV isn’t a big deal. With proper care, FIV+ kitties live long, healthy, love-soaked lives. His story is a reminder of why spaying, neutering, and vaccinating matter so much.

So now, Gargamel waits—mysterious, charming, and more sweet than sinister. He’s ready to trade rainy nights and street fights for a soft blanket, a sunny window, and a human who sees his worth.

Will you be the one to give him his happily ever after? 💔❤️
