Tabby cat



This sweet guy showed up at my house a few days ago. Last night I had to bring him inside. It was cold and really windy. Upon further inspection it turns out this cat is visually impaired! I certainly don't have the heart to put him back outside, because it's obvious that he stuck around for a reason. He knew there were people here to pet him and we have food on the back porch. If he can't see the world clearly, and if he's someone's indoor cat, why would he want to wander off from something like that?

Friday morning I'll be taking him to the local vet clinic to see if they can identify who he belongs to.

Traveler: The Traveling Cat

Traveler, named for his traveling between campsites, was likely dropped off earlier this summer at a campground in town and the campers fed him and gave him attention. At the end of the camping season, in mid-October, one of the campers took him back to his barn so the cat could have shelter over the Winter. On Friday Traveler ended up back in town, over 6 miles away from where the barn is located. Poor guy has an injured paw that we can only guess is from an animal trap.

Mr. Traveler can use all the good vibes he can get! Tomorrow he'll have a leukemia test done and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he's negative! If the results come back positive this sweet little cat will have to be humanely euthanized.
