Looks like I'm going to need a new siggy...

...because I definitely just brought home another cat!

Here's the rundown:
Name: Raphael
Color: Tuxie (his petfinder page: http://www.petfinder.org/pet.cgi?act...25&tmpl=&stat=
Age: 7
Why I couldn't resist: He got returned in October by an owner who had a HUGE family emergency and couldn't keep him. Both the owner and Raphael were heartbroken. Raph would sit at the window and cry all day. Yet, at the same time, he was just a sweet, hopeful and BEAUTIFUL guy. Well, over the months, he just thinned out and started pulling out all of his hair out and became more and more lonesome and distraught. SO when I was working in his room today, I just decided to take him with.

Guess this makes me a crazy cat lady!

Aww, he looks like a sweetheart! How lucky your kitties are!

Congrats!!! He looks a little like my Oliver- who's middle name is Raphael!!!

Tuxies are the best!! Enjoy your new baby!

Oh he is adorable! I'm sooooo happy to hear he has a new home! Yay for Raphael!!!

Yeah, and he was returned after being owned for 6 YEARS! 6!

In kittenhood, he was also returned twice. I'm his 4th home, and let me tell you, short of a kitty being physically threatened by another (which I don't forsee), this is his last.

What a lovely fellow! I'm so glad he has found you and wrapped you around his paw!

Oh my! He is PRECIOUS! How lucky you are. Working in the environment you work in, I'm sure your lucky you don't have more kitties! THEN we could call you crazy cat lady

You'r not a crazy cat lady! Though, I don't know how many cat's you have, so I'm not to saure (< joke)

Anywho, congrats! He's a buetiful boy!

Trust me, if I had a bigger apt, I would!

Ian made me sign a contract that we'll never have more than 6 ever and no more than 4 while we're renting!

Congrats to both you & Raphael! He is quite the little cutie.

Who could resist a sweet, handsome boy like that! Congratulations to you and Raphael. Can't wait to see pics!

Congrates to the new addition... it is great to give a senior or nearly senior kitty a great home... I do ask how you do more than one in an apartment...

Well, I just bought another cat tree...so that puts us up to 2 trees and a gym, and there's also a shelf that they like to climb up on and sleep AND they are all harness trained AND I play with them A LOT and with Leo being 5 and Raph being 7, they're not as active as they once were...

You make it work. That, and it really depends on the temperments of the cats in question. Leo and Raph are both really mellow and sort of apathetic cats. Gracie (age 2) is my little alpha and the only one that i REALLY have to excercise specially.

Congratulations to you and Raphael! He definitely wrapped the right person around his little paw.

What a sweetie he is! Congratulations on the new little guy!

What a cute new addition!

He is just adorable!! I so want and NEED another kitty.
