We lost our good mouse cat a couple of months ago in an accident, and have since been over run in the barn and milk parlor with mice. Ick. So, a couple of weeks ago I contacted one of the cat rescuers in the area (she's the lady that brought Liberty to us also), and last weekend she contacted me regarding a cat. He is about a year old, beautiful grey tabby with a medium length hair...and very friendly. We brought him home 2 days ago and so far he's doing very well. We are keeping him in a cage in the milk parlor until he gets to know our sights and sounds...and we make sure that he and Liberty will be okay together. We don't know his whole story...other than he was already neutered before being rescued. He was living in deplorable conditions and is very thin. If we ever get weight on this cat he will be HUGE!
His head is too big for me to put my hand across. It is very long and wedge shaped like a lion; so the girls named him Leo. I was kinda hoping to call him Simba, but I was outnumbered.
So far so good with Liberty. She can come and go in and out of the building so they can take their time and get to know each other.
In case you're wondering why we need a second cat as a mouser...Liberty has only one eye. She was rescued after someone damaged her eye with a beer bottle and it had to be removed. I think it effects her depth perception so that she can't catch mice(that's my story and I'm sticking to it).
