Meet Jonesy the cat

[mountainbunny]

We live way out in the country and sadly people have a habit of dumping unwanted pets out here ... Usually dogs. Last week when I got home from work around dusk I heard "mew mew mew" when I got out of my car. I started calling for kitty and he started to run away. I knelt down and called to him and he slowly came to me and finally let me pick him up. He was scared but purring heavily. I quickly went inside and brought out tuna fish and water for him, which he much appreciated. I examined him and he is clean and healthy looking, very soft and very sweet. So we went out next day and got him food bowls and food. He's still here a week later, super happy and loves to sit in my lap and purr purr purr. Got him flea/tick medication yesterday. So it appears we have a kitty now.
This is Jonesy.

Cats get dumped out by us too. They mostly just run scared because of our dogs. Glad you could help your kitty out.

That's so sad, I'm glad you could help him. He looks so happy in the first picture!

He was eating a big bowl of kibbles so he was super happy. He was terrified and starving the night before when I found him. He scarfed down two cans of tuna fish that night and I went and bought him kitty food next morning.

Jonesy looks very much like one of my 3 We were adopted by a dumped kitten a couple years ago and he now runs the household. My guy's name is Opie.

Oh wow.
This warms my heart. People also drop animals off where I live.
So glad you are able to take care of him
