My name is Sable!

Hello, my name is Sable! I am looking for a gentle, loving human to call my very own!

In the beginning of 2025, I showed up in Pet Angel’s President, Nancy’s yard as a stray cat. I wasn’t friendly, but when they started feeding me, I said “ok, I’ll stick around.” She and her family started calling me Sable, and when they kept feeding me, I made their shed my new home. At first, I slept on a tarp. Then they found out I was sleeping in the shed, and a cat bed appeared! I spent months eating the food they’d leave me, skirting around them when they were outside, and sleeping in my cat bed in their shed. I’d let them start getting closer and closer to me until one day in the summer, Nancy’s husband Jim was outside doing yard work and I decided ‘Ya know what… I actually think I like you now.” When he sat down and spoke gently to me, I walked right over to him and let him pet me.

I also loved to climb trees, and when they would get home from being somewhere, I would get so excited I’d sprint up a tree.

Jim and Nancy live across from Jim’s mom, so I made both houses and property my own and I stopped venturing away from their two homes, visiting both Engel Family members whenever they would come outside. One day, while Jim was visiting with his mom on her porch, she left her front door open and I took it as an opportunity to scope out her house… I walked right in the front door! I did a lap around her whole house, just checking everything out while they watched me from a distance. I really said “wowww, this is noiiiiiceee!!!” but decided to go back outside. I wasn’t ready to be a house cat yet.

But then it started to get cold. That’s when I moved into their garage, where they set me up with a space heater and a heated bed. I thought ‘ok, this is cool, I can live here.’ Until a possum found out about my secret new home and thought he’d move in too… so I was sharing a g
