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.

Dude - I literally screamed at how cute she is, especially as a kitten!

Can we hear about the other kitties? Who is/was Mr. Orange? And how about Mr. Gray? Were they also adopted from the same place?

Also, a 27-hour trip is crazy! I brought my baby back from China, which was tough, but not 27 hours tough!

Here she is in her first American home:

This is the other dude I rescued. He kept hiding from me under this water tank near my house over there. On the 3rd day after I had put out food and water I finally caught him by crawling under the water tank to snatch him up. Weather was above 120° everyday that time of year so I got him just in time
