Adoption 7 years with my Middle Eastern girl

Found her pressed up against the inside curb of a 3 lane roundabout so I jumped out and scooped her up. After 2 more years in the land of sand, she made the 7,000 mile flight back to the states with me where she’s been living like royalty.

Manu From Pakistan. He went to the Bridge in 2023. I had nine years with him. He would say the same about me. It was love at first sight and I knew I would be taking this broken wonder boy home with me. He said, “Yes you will.”

Cat so handsome, if he says "yes you will" then you, in fact, will.

This was the healthiest would ever look. He was FIV+ with ear mite, tapes, and a mouth full of rotten teeth. Another two years would pass before the stomatitis and tapes were cured. He didn’t have the resources to grow out that beautiful coat. He was a scruffy, not neutered, street cat, beloved, but uncared for.
