    I live in an apartment complex and have one female who is spayed and indoor only. On the morning of august 1st | heard meowing outside and went to take a look, only to find this male kitty literally at my door and wanting to come in. He was very friendly and receptive to pets and had no collar.

    That day I took him to my vet to check for a chip and do a quick exam. Vet confirmed he wasn't neutered, and as he had no chip I had them also test him for FIV and FeLV which were both negative. I started posting about him to see if he had an owner. Well, 2 weeks went by and nothing.

    He got neutered and chipped last Tuesday along with a first round of vaccines. He has a slightly longer recovery because he was a cryptorchid, but should still be good in just over another week from now. Bonus pic of him and my first cat (left).

    FormidableMistress Is it just me or is there something weird about attracting a cat the same coloring as a cat you already have? I ended up with 4 piebald cats from the CDS. There are no other piebald cats in the neighborhood, they all came to my house.

    Demi 180 OP Yeah I think he was a stray, he was so dirty my hands were slightly black after petting him at first. I thought he had a home because of how friendly he is and he knew how to use a litter box right away, but nobody ever tried to claim him.

    Demi180 OP Oh I did on day 1, he was constantly scratching. They cleaned and treated him and literally no more scratching the next day.

    Demi180 OP Yeah, I was surprised he was right there. He probably smelled my cat even though she's been spayed all along. He stalks her and tries to sniff her bot, and comes right up to her litter box and puts his face to the flap while she's in it.
