Fred was a stray cat that showed up on my porch looking for some food and attention. Overtime I gained his trust with consistent food and water and some canned chicken and he instantly became my best friend. I have been caring for two stray cats they both have learned so much from each other. Fred was younger, so he taught the other cat how to trust humans because he had had no bad experiences with me. I ended up getting him fixed and all of his shots and some special medication for him as he had Manx syndrome because had no tail. He was quirky, playful loved to explore as well being very food motivated. He got along well with my French bulldog and would come into the house after some time for food, cuddles & to escape the weather. He always wanted to go back out and play though and unfortunately, this is how he passed, all I can hope is that in the time that he was alive he knew love and he definitely brought that to my life as well. He will be missed and will always hold a special place in my heart as well as everyone who met him.
