I found Jack outside our house this past November, starving for food and attention. Thinking such a beautiful cat was a girl, we originally named him Sylvia-Louise (remember the movie "What's Up Doc?") and brought him to the vet. She turned out to be a He, so we named him Jack. He is almost the perfect cat, except he likes to chase our cat, so a home with no other cats would be preferred. The rescue group I work with paid for his neutering, shots, ear cleaning, and checkup. He's by far the nicest foster we've had to date, and is a true lap cat. Jack is very clean with a glossy black coat. He is very gentle, and obviously is pre-owned. Whether he's a throwaway, or somehow became lost, he's lucky he landed in my front yard. It will be extremely tough on my kids and me when he's adopted, but we're keeping our fingers crossed for a great home for Jack.

something about black cats and NJ

Hi, Your story is identical to what is happening at my house, I could have written it.

A black cat was hanging around my neighborhood for months. I put bread out for the birds and I often would see the black cat eating it. I could tell he was starved. Back in December right before the first snow storm my daughters and I caught the cat in a kindness cage. She lived in my garage in a large cat condo with blankets wrapped around it for warmth. Because the cat was large, we thought it was having kittens. I got in touch with Animal Alliance and they allowed me to take the cat to the vet. Lo and behold the cat we were calling Misey was a male that was already neutered. We wondered if this cat was lost or abandoned. His name is Buddy now and is up for adoption on the Belle Mead Animal Alliance web site. I have pictures for you to look at too. They could be twins. I too have 3 indoor cats and my daughters have taken a liking to Buddy but my husband will not allow us to keep another cat.

Thank god there are kind hearts out there who help animals. Best of luck finding him a home. I was told that its much harder to find older cats a home but we will put our best effort into it.

Your story and mine ARE almost identical! I think St Francis must guide these animals to the right houses. I wish you the best with Buddy. You've done a great and humane service for Buddy, and the experience will continue to foster empathy and kindness in your children. Good for you. Carol
