Description

I was named Billy by one of my rescuers, which means "cat" in the Urdu language. I am an extremely large, powerful, strong male tom cat. I am black and white, with the most expressive beautiful green eyes. It almost looks like I am wearing black eyeliner under my eyes. I also have a few large gashes across my nose, which adds character to my handsome face! I am very young - only about two years old. I was first spotted a few weeks ago, trying to eat some food from my rescuer's porch. My rescuer had been trying to help another cat come inside, when I showed up. Despite my large impressive size, I was always rather timid and hid under cars until my rescuer left, before eating. One evening, one of my rescuers saw me running down the street - about 10 blocks away. I looked at her pleadingly with my beautiful expressive eyes, telling her that I was hungry and scared, and asking if she could help? She convinced me to follow-her the 10 blocks down, where I was rewarded with a buffet of good food, and water that was not frozen. After that, my rescuer could come out and put food in front of me, and I would no longer hide when she did that. I was slowly starting to trust her. I would sit and watch while she put the food out, and even ate in front of her. It was getting colder out, and she was worried about me, so once again she communicated with me. She told me that she would be able to help me more if I came inside, out of the cold. She told me that she had a short window of time to help me. So I listened, and the next day, I came inside. And now, here I am, hoping I made the right decision..... I was always hungry outside, as there was never enough food, so that is certainly one advantage to being inside. Plus, as the scars on my nose will attest to, I got beat up a lot outside. However, I am still a little shy and bewildered by all these sudden changes. I have been to the vet's, was checked over and have been neutered. I am now in a foster home, waiting until I get a permanent home of my own. Will you please adopt me into a good home and be kind to me, so that I know I made the right decision to come inside?

A happy, healthy-looking Billy - in his new permanent home!
