Freckles is about one and a half years old. She appeared on our balcony one evening and we petted her. When I went out the next morning she was still sitting on the balcony and as I opened the door, she walked in and took a tour of the apartment! After that, she settled on the sofa and had a snooze. We put notices up all round the apartments to locate her owners, but noone came forward so we kept her. About three months later we were in Petsmart, getting some cat litter and they had a pet adoption agency there, with cats for adoption. Panther was one of several cats waiting for a home and after much discussion, we decided to take him home with us.
