When, Where and How I Got My Red Cat

People tore a house down on the street below me, let the cats in it out, one Momma cat came up to my house, about two months after my husband passed away. She had her babies under my porch, I brought her and her babies inside. They sure kept me company and helped with my loss, that would be 11 years ago on March 11th, I love them, and I have brought in another yellow and white kitten named Ginger he is only a little over a year old.

I'd Describe My Cat As…

They are very spoiled boys,and I love them all,I would bring them all in if I could afford to, we don't have a shelter in our County; we tried to get one started, but people want to complain about the strays but they don't want to help start a shelter. Hoppy was not hard to train on leash,he loved it from the beginning
