Bob. The cat. The myth. The LEGEND.
The story goes Bob showed up one day at a nice lady's house, asking for a handout. He was already neutered but did not have a microchip and it did not appear anyone was looking for this sweet boy. We know some apartments nearby caught on fire recently, and it was soon after everyone moved out that Bob showed up.
Rumor has it he single-handedly saved 3 children from the burning building and lost his tail in the fire, with only a nubbin left to wiggle in joy when he gets his ear scritchens. After all, he IS the same color as a dalmatian, right? We're not saying this is true, it's just what we've heard. But what we DO know is this sweet gentleman deserves so much more than a life outside on a busy street, and we mean to help him find it!
We havent had him long; he seemed ok with other cats outside, but be sure to do any introdutions with other cats very slowly. He has not been around dogs or kids in our care yet. Gentle kids should probably be ok. He will likely hide when you first get him home; sit down nearby and "meow" to him; he will soon come out for some head boops! He LOVES wet food and so far seems to be pretty food motivated, too!
