I trapped Jack along with his entire family - Mom and three feral kittens - just as the weather was getting frigid. Mom and Jack were throw-aways but their babies were born outside.
I was overwhelmed to get the whole family, and Jack here would have died had I not trapped him. He was gravely injured, covered with ticks, and when I shined a light on the trap he showed me every one of his teeth - SCARY! The poor boy was petrified, but we got him vetted and he stayed with me for nearly 8 months as my foster son.
He turned out to be the biggest marshmallow and it was a wrench giving him up. He protected me from the shower every night, trying to stop me from going in, and he would cry until I got out. What a love. But he has since been adopted by a wonderful family and I'm lucky enough to pet sit for them. His "wife" and two of his babies were also adopted and went to loving homes.
We kept his son, Samson, a beautiful, sweet, cuddly orange tabby with a squinty eye. It was impossible to resist him!
