Hello, hello!

Well, obviously I'm new here, never really been a forum person before so pardon me for any minor faux pas. I have three wonderful cats who are my constant companions, Winston, Dwight and Doofy. Well, just saying hi folks.View media item 285819View media item 285826View media item 285827

Hi and welcome to TCS! As a cat lover, you have definitely come to the right place! Your cats are just beautiful! I used to have a ginger tabby who would lean against my shoulder just like that!

Hi and welcome to the site


What beautiful kitties ! :heart3:

I love your kitties especially the little one in the box. Welcome.

Thank you for the warm welcome and complements to my little buddies. They love to be reminded how cute they they are, especially the grey tabby. He's the egomaniac of my trio
I forgot one more though, she's technically not mine but she's been my outdoor companion from the day I met the realtor to tour my condo four years ago. I feed and groom her just like my own. I want to take her in so bad and get her out of this south FL hear but allegedly someone owns her. I call her Sweetie, cuz thats what she.is.

Well, welcome to Sweetie, too.  She's lovely and she's lucky to have you watching out for her.  Is there any way of identifying her owner, if indeed she has one?  That owner might be persuaded to let you take her in if he or she really can't care for a pet right now.

Seconded! Sounds like you and Sweetie are meant for each other!

I've been trying to figure out who owns her for awhile, everyone tells me a different person but its a dead end. Doesn't help that people down here in miami-dade aren't that friendly with people they don't know. I think its a cultural thing cuz I live in a nice neighborhood way away from the city. I've been thinking of maybe just letting her come in and cool off for awhile whenever she wants though. I'd still have to go through the whole introduction process but I think it would be worth it for her.

I would definitely let her in.  She'll be safer that way, although I understand why you don't want to step on someone's toes.  On the other hand, you could put together a flyer asking if anyone has lost a cat and post it on poles and put in mailboxes or fold up and put through door handles.  That way at least  you'd find out if she had a home.  If no answers, you're home free.

Welcome to TCS! You have a big heart, wanting to help the cats.

I've actually had an idea sort of like the fliers but a little more directed, my condo association would pitch a fit if I posted fliers. I'll be headed to the pet store soon to buy new breakaway collars for the two cats who won't yank em off so I figured I'll get her one too with a custom tag saying "if owner call blahblahblah, want to rescue" or something similar. Maybe post on the board by the mailboxes too. She's so incredibly friendly and affectionate that its bound to work. Heck, she practically sprints across the parking lot whn she sees me, I'd hope her owner would have earned the same. If I don't hear anything in ten days, I'll take her in, post on the board again, just in case (and to cover my butt).

Thirded. She obviously wants you as her dad.
