In March 2017 we lost our beloved Milo to aggressive cancer. I was heartbroken; he was such a gentle and loving boy. The next day when I went to work a co-worker told me that a relative of hers had passed away, and her kitty needed a home right away or he was destined for the shelter. I took one look at this lovable gray and white face and said, "He has a home. How soon can you bring him?" We had lost Milo on March 30, and on April 1 Astro came, bag and baggage. Having lived his entire 3 years with no feline companions and no man in the picture, he was understandably scared. We set up his carrier in a corner where he could see but have no fear. His food and water bowls were close by, but just far enough that he had to come out to get to them. His litter box was right there too. It took many weeks before his true personality began to bloom, and now, 2 years later, he is the most loving cat. He demands attention with an adorable squeak, and purrs like a semi. We lost our Elena in January of 2019, so for now, he is an only child and relishing all the attention.
