A Heart for Strays

Ocie (short for Outside Cat) is the second stray that I took in. Although I promised my husband that I would take him to a no-kill shelter after I socialized him, I fell in love with the little rascal! That was five years ago; Ocie still loves to be outdoors, even in rain, snow and bitter cold, but always comes running when I call. He has learned to wait on the throw rug inside the front door so that I can wipe his paws before he's allowed to roam the house.
