Hello everyone, I am a member of this group since last night and I got a very nice message from Draco this morning and I feel extremely welcomed already! 
Here is my story and I welcome any advice and tips from all of you.
My husband was out helping his dad and I was just catching up on post Christmas housework when I looked outside and saw a beautiful orange cat tearing and going through my garbage(that I had left out as the next day was garbage day)! Alarmed I knock on the window and he saw me and ran under my car. Five minutes later he came back agaon scavenging! I thought OKAY! I will give him some cat foot. I went outside and he ran again. I know people will say I am cruel for feeding outdoor cats as they should be left on their own. I did put out food. He finished the whole can immediately. I tried to get close slowly and within 5 minutes he let me pet him. How wonderful!!!!! I went back in and then heard on the radio that the weather will dip to minus 14 deg cel. YIKES. I knew I had to let him in. It was so sad to see his paws sticking on the cold ground. I lured him in with treats, and put a blanket down for him and water, more food and left him in my foyer.
I have 1 older white DSH cat. She is spayed, heavy(lol), only eats wet food as she doesn‘t digest kibble anymore.
I got her online from a lady who lied to me about everything! This cat was not spayed, she said it was, my cat also has serious issues with brooms back then. I didn‘t know that so while sweeping once, this cat got so scared, peed and shivered and was just terrified! Poor thing. The lady did tell me that my cat was left to die once in a box, so maybe was abused with a broom too. Now she is Ok with it. Mind u it took me years to rehabilitate her but she‘s definitely Queen Cat in our house! She has a deformed eye too, my vet thought it might be a tumor but checked it found it to be just a deformity.
Now, I had just adopted a kitten from my best friend 2 months ago! Oh what joy! I am het Mommy and she only sleeps in my neck! lol She is a small cat, 4 months old, long haired and the fiestiest kitty in kitten history! She looks like a gremlin now, she‘s a biter and is so goofy! She growls at the new cat non stop. Just a mischievious little monkey. She also knows her name and comes when called. I swear she‘s part dog!
I also have a dog - a German Sheperd/Border Collie mix who was diagnosed with a grade 5 out of 6 heart murmur. He‘s ourgrown it and turned 1 in Oct!) My kitten and my dog are best friends and my old cat hates everyone except me. lol
So, with a house full(don‘t forget my 5 rabbits & fishes)) this new Cat became mine since yesterday! I took him in to vet to get checked for microchip and none was detected. He is long haired, orange and I suspect a Maine Coon cat. We also drove around neighbours to find his owners. No one claimed him. U see I am very shock at how this cat has turned out. He has been in my house since Friday and he poops perfectly in litter box, no spraying, lied. happily on rug all day, lets my kitten smack him, not fighting, doesn‘t steal food,great temperameny with my 7 yr old son. Is this too good to be true? Even people at the vet are so shocked to see such a beautiful, clean cat!
Sorry for writing so long, I can‘t think of a shorter version to this! lol
