The "rescue" was a dump. I'd never recommend them to anyone.

They lied for one thing. I'm not sure how old he is but 11 months?

I don't think so ...

Glad to have him anyway. He came to me when I got up this a.m. which is a first for him. Poor guy.

It saddens me greatly when I think of the cringing cat in the corner that had obviously been beaten by someone at some point.

Had I not adopted him, I'm sure he'd still be there.
