It’s great she wanted inside and you had a home for her…

This is so lovely 🥰 That’s awesome that kind people are out there ❣️

One day, a new cat decided to say hi in the catio. Until he returned and a neighbor indicated that he was a stray who had lived in the area for years, the parents of the kittens assumed he was someone in the neighborhood’s cat and didn’t give it much thought.

They gave him the name Ziggy and began wooing him as soon as they realized what had happened. Ziggy started coming by twice a day for food, but was much too [s.ca.red] to be touched at first. His new friends wanted to find a way for him to feel safe each time he stopped by, so they decided to build him his own little house.

They figured if he was still being standoffish as the colder months approached, then he would also have a warm place to stay, and they started feeding him in there to get him used to it.
Although it was evident that Ziggy still had a long way to go, he seemed to like the place and was very, very slowly beginning to warm up to the couple.

They carried him home after having the necessary operation, which they had hurriedly obtained from the veterinarian.
Renee said: After he had surgery, we kept him in a separated room for a few days. After a few days, we let him meet Gerrie and Loki again. Luckily they still got along, so we decided to keep Ziggy with us.

The couple had built Ziggy a little outdoor house so he’d have his very own space to feel safe in — but in the end, it was their home where he truly found safety and comfort in the form of a brand-new forever family.

Ziggy finally feels at home in his new house and is enjoying life, but it took some time.
He now prefers to stretch out next to the window and rest next to the warm dishwasher. He still enjoys spending time outside with his new siblings, but now he gets to share the enormous catio with Gerrie and Loki rather than having his own small abode.
