Here's the stray from my thread back in Strays and Ferals. I caught him tonight with my friend after a good half-hour of hide-and-seek in the garage. I know it looks terrible to keep him under a crate, but the kennel wasn't back yet, so I had to make do. While I was waiting, though, I took the liberty of snapping a couple pics of him. Oh, and we're calling him Journey until we can bring him to the shelter (we have absolutely NO more money for another cat, and he'll get better care there with people who know how to socialise him better than all of my friends and accquaintances put together.) For now, though, we've name him Journey rather than 'the stray' or 'the dad'.




And here he is safe and warm in his kennel. He's not feral, but definitely nervous and so skinny you can feel his pelvis
By the way, the laaarge dishes were completely temporary.




The resemblance between him and his son, Ditto (second pic) is uncanny!He's most definitely his father.



I'm also hoping to volunteer at the shelter we're bringing him to. If they accept him, and if I'm able to colunteer there, I should be able to update everyone on his progress.

He is a really pretty cat, I would think that he would be easier to adopt out (but then again. many many beautiful cats aren't
)

I wonder if maybe he is someone's lost pet, hopefully the shelter can check for a microchip?

Definitely keep us updated!

Wow, yeah he does look like Ditto!! I was thinking that as I was scrolling through. Isn't funny how twix has gone for a man who has similar colouring to herself?

I know! When I caught him I was shocked at how much he was like him. His fur is more scraggly, but when he's skinnier than skinny of course it's not going to be at all healthy. Later I'm sure it'll be better looking and they'll look more alike than ever before, espeecially as Ditto grows. I really wish I could keep him.

Oh, I hope so! I feel terrible giving them yet another cat, much less a feral one, but I have no other choice.
And perhaps they can. It's a really good place, always perfectly clean and the pets are well taken care of - I'd think they'd scan them...but if he was microchipped, he probably wouldn't have been dumped (because that's what we think happened tohim since he appeared here out of the blue).

I'll try! Hopefully I can volunteer there
