He’s very shy but been making progress. been leaving food out twice a day for him and a few others. he used to run on sight, but with a lot of treats I finally got to pet him yesterday. I’m hoping to get him into the house before the snow hits us.
He’s definitely got his winter coat on!
Ya he’s a lot of floof… just like his sister. His other brother that I already have in the house is a short hair. (The one in the back. Cinder (front) is an unrelated ex-stray I took in a few years ago.
Hooray for black cat rescues!
If I bring him into the house, he’ll be my 4th black cat (Cinder, Ember, Bam Bam, and Dale) although I have other flavors of cat as well.
He’s beautiful. Hi Dale, please trust the stranger that’s feeding you and go into the house when it gets cold.
Shit that sounds amazing. Can I come too?
I have some spare room and warmth, but I’m not sure I want any more anarchy than a 7yo creates in my house.
I do have an extra couch but you’re gonna have to share it with a bunch of cats.
Doing the same with this little guy. I can’t pet him yet.
He has beautiful eyes! Some cats take a little more effort than others but I hope he warms up to you soon! Most don’t take too long, but one elderly ex-stray that I have took me nearly two years to make friends with. She’s now sleeping in my window sill.
I love this photo! Reminds me of the Jeremiah Johnson gif
HE’S BEAUTIFUL
What a stunning boy! Good luck to you. Thank you for doing this.
Thanks! Saw Dale again this morning when I put breakfast out but unfortunately he didn’t want to come close because another Stray (Gavin) was around and they don’t get along very well. I did get to pet him earlier this morn (around 2 am) and give him treats tho.
Looks like a nebelung 😻
I just got back in from outside. He showed up early today (I usually put food out at 6am and 6 pm) so he got first dibs on the food, and was all in for some scritches before he sat down with a full belly here to chill with me for a bit.
He’s too cute, I just can’t
He is for sure. he also seems to like to talk which is really cute. When I go outside and he’s in the yard, he’ll start to “chirp” before he comes up to me. At night the little furball blends into the dark so well that’s the only way I can tell he’s around lol
Awwwww!!!

That’s a big fuzz!❤️
You’re awesome for doing this. Thank you.
Strays are a bit of an issue around here. In the last 7 or so years I’ve gotten over a dozen fixed but a few more show up every year, so I do what I can for them with the little I have. I already have one of his brothers and his sister in the house. He has one more brother outside that is a total lush for attention and runs to me when he sees me, but he doesn’t want to come into the house because his sister is a bit of a bully.
How u know hes a stray?
His family was born under a neighbor’s old Ford truck and he’s living under a different neighbor’s shed right now. I already have his sister and brother in the house, but he’s a little less trusting than they were.
May not be, but behavior will give away a stray/feral. A cat who has been in a house or had someone caring for them acts a lot different to humans.
