The useful part

Thomas needed to go, even if it took him a few days to accept the delivery. A little over a month ago, his future pawrent's wife was walking their dog when the pup ran over to investigate a wood pile. Thankfully, he could stand, happily accepted some pets, and was very interested in the food she offered him.

How it works

  • His new pawrents noticed mosquito bites around his ears and found around 13 fleas, so a vet appointment quickly followed.
  • She found him again the next day and attempted to bring him home, but Thomas wasn't quite ready.
  • More food and water came out, and this time the little guy started rubbing against his future cat dad and letting him pet him.
  • He had one, but it had never been registered, so his new pawrent registered it himself.
  • Even sweeter, Thomas was born around the same time his new cat dad lost his previous beloved boy.

What to take from it

On Thomas' first night roaming the house, he climbed into bed and curled up right beside him.

Details worth keeping

Hidden inside was a young cat who initially looked injured. He basically said thanks for dinner, but we're not there yet. Eventually, he was scooped up and brought inside.
