(originally sent March 5, 2007)

Last month I sent out an email about a super friendly stray kitty in need of a home. We were successful in finding him a home right away. Then shortly after, a cat who looks just like super friendly kitty came into our backyard. We figure he must be a sibling. He looks to be approximately 1 year old.

Unfortunately, he wasn't as super friendly as the first one; he was skittish. He would hang around our porch, but we couldn't go up to him and pet him. So we decided to buy a trap and we caught him yesterday. He was very good in the trap; didn't meow much at all. We were also able to pet him through the trap.

We took him in to get neutered today. The vet said he was very docile and friendly. Indeed, when we brought him home and let him out of the trap for a little while in our garage, he was very friendly - he would rub against us and purr. He's still a little tentative, but is definitely a loving cat.

We already have 3 cats of our own inside, so we can't let him roam around our house (one cat in particular does not take kindly to new cats introduced into the house). Until we get him adopted out, he's staying a large pet carrier in our garage. We've put some cloth in the back for him to lay on and included water and food. We've made up a litter box for him, so he's able to use that when we let him out every so often throughout the day.

We'd really like to adopt him out soon so he can wander around his new home. :) We've taken some pictures of him and posted them here:

If you can give this sweet kitty a home, or know someone who can, please contact me as soon as possible to make arrangements. I am willing to drive to the Inland Empire or Las Vegas this coming weekend to deliver him if you can't come out to Mojave to pick him up.

Please feel free to spread the word.

Thanks!
