    Three. Two were gotten young from a city pound. One was taken in after my FIL entered a nursing home. The new guy is FIV+ so we keep him separate from the old guys.

    I have been a cat lover all my life and every cat I have owned has been a rescue. My last cat Cleo was 15 when I got her. Her owner had passed and she was sent to a shelter. :frown: She was very scared and would not let anyone near her. I took a chance and adopted her. We spent the last 6 years of her life loving each other. I loved that cat so much that it was hard for me to even think about getting another, but two years later I saw Milo on craigslist. He was the last of a litter and was going to be taken to a kill shelter if not adopted. I fell in love with his sweet face and decided he had to be mine. Unfortunately by the time I called someone else had claimed him. :brokenheart: A week later his ad showed up again, the person that claimed him never showed up. I'm happy to say that Milo and I have been together for 6 years now. I also volunteer on the weekends at a dog and cat rescue.


    How could I not fall for this cute little guy

    Rescue Cat. What the heck is that? Are there seeing eye cats? Firefighter Cats? Cop Cats?

    I have a cat named Joey. He's an independent whining ball of fur that could care less about me unless he is hungry.

    These are my rescue babies :smile: Dodger is the fluffy one outside of the house. Some friends of mine found her on their doorstep when she was maybe 3 weeks old. Her eyes were still blue. I had to bottle-feed her and that was an adventure! She is named after the Artful Dodger in Oliver Twist. I wanted an 'orphan' name and these friends already had a cat named Oliver (at the time I thought she was a boy). I know the Artful Dodger was a boy as well but Dodger is pretty unisex, i think.

    Orion, the fat boy with his tongue hanging out, doesn't have as exciting a story. He's a shelter cat that I have had since he was 9 weeks old. Now he is 9 years old!

    All of my cats just seemed to show up on my doorstep. They've always been strays, or the offspring of feral cats. Even if I don't think I want another cat, they always find me and I'm so glad they did. I have 3 cats now, all neutered and microchipped.

    Yep. We rescued our 10 year old tortoise shell fluff ball from a family that no longer wanted her. They had a young family and I think she was jealous and was biting the 3 year old. Needless to say the kids was probably ragging the cat too. My kids are older so don't do that kinda thing.

    She's ace!

    Five out of five of my cats are rescue cats and five out of five of my dogs are rescue dogs. Two of my cats are brother and sister, my son and I rescued them before their eyes were open, so we had to bottle feed them. Two others my son rescued as strays and the fifth I rescued from a horrible 2 y/o who was trying to break her front legs (she was 6 weeks old at the time.) She fell in love with my son at first sight. That's gratitude for you, right?

    My dogs get along with each other and love the cats. The cats tolerate the dogs and hate each other.
