Stray Guy spent the night in a house last night. The first time since his family moved out and left him behind to fend for himself.

Thank goodness for the generosity of a kind woman named Irene who has been feeding him. Because she has dogs, she was not able to bring him inside, so she sought help to find him a new home.

From the photos we have received, it seems he was so excited that, after eating, he spent a lot of time cleaning up. Probably felt like he finally had a reason to.

Through a couple coincidences, Stray Guy’s name is becoming Stary. First off, many people may be feeling that Stray Guy is just too hard or odd to say when you are calling a cat… “Here, Stray Guy, Stray Guy.” Others may feel it’s just not personal enough. “Stray Guy? Is that really a name?”

One of the women involved in the rescue misspelled it in a message as Stary. Then it was discovered that he has a small white star on his chest.

So, now off the streets and no longer a homeless stray, I guess Stray Guy is evolving into Stary.

Our next step is getting Stary vet checked. And he has an appointment on Friday to be neutered — or as a friend says, “to lose his ‘twins’.”

We are again putting the word out that we are looking for a forever home for Stary. Someone to love this guy as he deserves.

If interested in adopting Stary, please contact me.

I leave you with a few more photos from Stray Guy/Stary’s first night inside. Click the images to see a larger version.

UPDATE: Bentley has been adopted!

There is a home out there looking for this handsome man.

Meet “Stray Guy.”

Stray Guy needs our help.

It seems that his family moved away a few months ago and somehow forgot him. While he is doing his best to make good from a lousy situation, it’s abundantly clear that he is not doing it very well. He has a nasty scratch on the side of his nose.

A kind woman has been feeding him, but she has dogs and doesn’t think he will fit well in her home. We need to get him into a foster home, get him checked out by a vet and on his way to a better life.

That’s where the two possibilities come in.

ONE — The transportation option. We have a woman in Brantford ready to foster Stray Guy, but we need help getting him there. Brantford is about 6 hours southwest of Ottawa. If you can help us with transportation and/or can recommend someone that can help, email me.

TWO — The foster option. If you are in the Ottawa area and can foster Stray Guy, email me.

Let’s help this guy get his confidence back, his feet on the ground  and let’s find him a new home.

Please SHARE his message.

Many gracias, Holly.
