Just wanted to share a few new pics of my adorable foster boy, Xander. I can't help but wonder what he's thinking.

I am a handsome feline specimen:


I wish someone would adopt me:


I am soooo cute:

He is a handsome man!!


I bet he's not thinking "I wish someone would adopt me", 'cause he SURE looks happy at your place!!

I, though, hope someone adopts him and that he finds his forever-home soon! He's gorgeous!

He looks so soft
He sure managed to look pathetic in that picture, didn't he?


He's very soft. I love petting him!

I am so in love with this precious boy.

A special round of applause to you, Eileen.

He is already beginning to show his potential.
Great pictures.


He is in my prayers that the match made in Heaven will happen soon.

What a handsome boy!


I think he is saying "I wish she would adopt me so I can stay here."

You're no help.


Actually I already told Xander that he doesn't want me to adopt him because that would require living with the mean tuxedo kitty who hissed and growled at him (Gracie). She scared him and now when he sees her he makes these pathetic little mewing noises like "don't let her hurt me."

Gracie is one tough cookie.


Xander is possibly suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome.

Last night, I could not get the picture of him hiding in fear, under the cages a PetSmart and who knows what terrifying things he suffered, before you took him under your loving care Eileen.

When he is finally in a forever home, he will begin to feel safe and learn to trust.
Xander nature is sweet and gentle.

Gracie thinks she's a tough cookie, but she mostly makes lots of noise.


I feel terrible about the whole Petsmart experience. It was clearly traumatic for Xander, but he's so sweet and friendly, we thought he'd be okay.

I hate to think about what he must have gone through on his own. He seems to be relaxing now and realize that he's safe. I just can't imagine how anyone could abandon or put out such a sweet, beautiful boy. I know it happens way too often, but everytime I meet a wonderful kitty like Xander, Cronus, Teddy or the others, I'm once again amazed at peoples' cruelty and ignorance.

Xander is a truly sweet, gentle boy and will bring some lucky person so much love and joy.

The PetSmart fiasco was not your fault Eileen.

If you had known how careless they are with the cats, you would never have left Xander there.

I hope that Xander's incident leads to better oversight and a safer environment for all the kitties hoping to be adopted.
