My niece and her hubs were living in an apartment complex while in school. They noticed an orange tabby hanging around ... VERY friendly and loving, obviously someone’s pet. They kept seeing him outside, just hanging around ... so they fed him. Eventually, he ended up in their apartment. At that point, they wanted to keep him and started asking around. All of the people in the complex they talked to felt that he was abandoned and had been on his own for a while - the complex was full of students and the consensus was that someone moved away, probably couldn’t take him along, and left him. He is the most mellow, affectionate cat & for the last couple of years, he’s been a great joy to my niece and especially her husband. He’s definitely an older cat and within the last two months is now having some significant health issues, but he’s getting the best care they can give him (vet & otherwise). He’ll be greatly missed when he’s no longer around - I’ve never seen a guy take to a cat like her husband has taken to this one. I’m not sure they’ll get another cat when he’s gone.
