We adopted Timber (age 4) today from the a rescue in Springfield Oregon. He's only been with us about 4 hours but he's already settling in.

We met him at a multi-rescue adaption event this afternoon and were told we'd be called this week to finish the process. Then about 45 minutes later they called to tell us the loud event was making him miserable and they'd be happy to have us take him to our nice quiet home. He's currently in our 2nd bedroom to let him acclimate for a week or so before introducing him to our other cat and the rest of the house. He was very stressed at first but by the end of the first hour he was already training us how he likes to be petted, and how he drools when you're doing it right.

Timber looks like he’s happy there! And he’s gorgeous.

Also… I really hope that the unicorn pillow is his. (It’s a cute pillow!)

Thank you. It was a quilting project of my wife's. She's good with all the hobbies that require dexterity in a way that I am not

Thank you for opening your home to him. It looks like he’s grateful too.

Also welcome to the orange club. They’re goofballs and we love them.

He's a goofball for sure. With the teeniest little mew. He's a 13lb mass of muscle with the meow of a kitten.
