Speckles has always been an outside cat, often disappearing for days at a time. We had always suspected, since he came home smelling of perfume, he may have a second family. And then he came home with surgery we didn't get him.

And my cat needs a family
And you have adopted him too.
I hope you take care of him
And love him as we do
Because he needs a vet
And I can't afford it.
