Henry (the cat living in my shed)

Here is the cat I found out in the pine barrens lol










he really needs a bath. He's living in my storage shed right now.. my dad moved out a few months ago so it's empty other than an old tv he didn't take. i feel bad having to keep him out there but the inn is full and I couldn't just leave him out there to starve in the middle of nowhere. He is sooo friendly. He was already neutered when I found him too. I guess someone dumped him in the woods thinking he would survive on his own but he is really skinny you can feel all his ribs and his backbone

kathryn, he's gorgeous!! Wish we had a situation that allowed cats, cuz I'm in love! Looks like he's got a few battle scars, too, none of which mar his considerable good looks, just add to his air of mystery!

Hope you can find a place for this handsome dude soon!!

Gorgeous boy Kathryn ~ for taking such good care of him. I've driven thru / got lost in the Pine Barrens... Not an easy or nice place for most people let alone a "family" cat.

it's actually some sort of wound, I don't think he was in a fight because there really aren't that many cats in the area where I was trapping when I found him, and he wandered out from not even near where the ferals are being cared for, he came straight out of the woods of the pines. i think he must have gotten caught up in some brush, he has some small scratches across his face and a couple scabs on his upper body more consistent with getting stuck in some brush vs. being in a fight with an animal.

and he doesn't have cable (tv is old and busted), but does have AM talk radio as well as a space heater, fluffy comforter and I gave him a ton of my cats older toys and I'll just buy them new stuff when I run up to work tomorrow for kitty litter
