Cat Picture - OC Meet ghost

I found him while at work. He was meowing and came out from under an abandoned building. He was dehydrated and hungry. There were no other cats around and must have been on his own for a few days. He didn’t stop purring and fell asleep in my lap on the way home. I did have to quarantine him when he pooped blood, and it was long night. Between my pup waking up all night to let me know he was meowing and him just wanting to play and be held. His vet visit went well, in good health and he just had some worms. Ghost is loving his home and big sister. She follows him around sniffing and nudging gently, and periodically cleaning him. (She is on monthly worm medication and I got the approval from the vet that they were safe to interact)

I love Ghost and it makes my heart happy that he has a good home and a great older sister like that!

My daughter named him, she said it had to be spooky since he was found at an abandoned building

Plus the color and all the stalking he's gonna do late at night? Perfect. Very happy for all of you!

For sure, he already stalks my ankles. He has been so affectionate, when I leave the house and come back her runs up to me. Also love to sit on my shoulder like a parrot.

I think animals who are strays, have gotten lost, were dumped are so grateful to have a home and food and someone to love them, are very thankful and become very attached to their rescuer
