Related: About this forumA couple of baby pics of the birthday boy
The first picture I got of him. I think he was 2 days old. My heart melted and I knew I was going to keep him.

The day I brought him and his siblings inside, when they were 3 weeks old.

(6,733 posts)capture the mama cat and have her fixed? I was able to capture a feral mama with a trap from a group that did that. We were able to have her fixed and all the babies placed. Mama cat actually found a home (inside) although she was scary. Before that she had liter after liter. Happy Birthday big beautiful boy!

My cat is a torty with patches and tabby stripes, shes the most beautiful cat Ive even seen, around 15 pounds and all attitude, she was a year and a half old stray when I picked her out at the humane society so it was different to be attacked continuously by a cat I just brought home
Luckily the band aid and neosporin days are over, it took two years
Id love to put up pics of her here but I have to figure that out again
A torty with tabby stripes is beyond beautiful
But your little guy is too

At 3 weeks, his ears looked "normal." Then it seems like they grew faster than the rest of him.
I saw a video recently by a woman who does trap and release with ferals. She said that female ferals are constantly pregnant, often as soon as one litter is weaned. The constant pregnancies wear down their health.
