Arrival Story: He was brought to the animal hospital where my mother worked, as a stray at about 5 weeks of age. She brought him home during lunch hour to show me. I really wanted a dog, but was moving into an apartment soon, so knew a cat would be much more sensible. When lunch was over and it was time to bring the kitten back to the clinic I couldn't stand to part with him, so I kept him and named him Figaro!

Bio: Our little Figgi-Roo disappeared on October 7, 2006. He went out with Uncle Patches on a beautiful sunny day, Uncle Patches came back in but we never saw Figaro again! We put up fliers with his picture on it and checked the local shelters for several months after, but never found him. He was such a sweetie that we think someone else took him in thinking he was a stray. We miss him still!! :-(

Poor Figaro was lost for over 2 years, but he returned in the middle of last winter Jan. 2009), on a weekend that was very stormy, with the wind-chills barely above zero degrees Fahrenheit. By this time he was feral, so we had to catch him in a live trap. Mom took him right to the animal clinic where she work. He was starved and severely dehydrated, so they allowed him to get warm, re-hydrated, and gave him some tasty canned food to enjoy. Then they tested him for feline leukemia and found he was positive. We decided to have him humanely euthanized. I really miss my little "Figgi-Roo", and even though we had to put him to sleep, at least I know what happened to him. It was much worse not knowing when he was lost.
