He's 2 years old and almost 16lb now. Not so much of a Speck anymore but he's my buddy.

wow-sad story with a happy ending.


I like that name.

Did you name them? Do they have more than one name?


just curious. photos to go with the names appreciated but not necessary.

Mr. Squeaks - His names has evolved over the years. When I first got him in 2006 I wanted to name him Romo but it just didn't take. We noticed that instead of meowing he would squeak so we called him Squeaks. Don't know where the Mr. came in but we have been calling him that for a couple of years.

Baby - She was the youngest at the time that we got her in 2014 so we started calling her Baby. Her name was Laura at the shelter and I don't like to call pets the same name as friends. She definitely knows her name whether I whisper it or yell it. She's such a sweet kitty.

Lil' Man - This kitty is so playful and crazy! His name was Smudge at the shelter, cute name but not for him. We got him in 2016. We were going to go with Lucky but it didn't stick. He was so tiny when we got him I just started calling him Lil' Man and it's perfect for him. Baby could not stand him for a good 6-8 months but they are besties now!

Mrs. Robinson, my rescue feral was named after the movie The Graduate. She's a long haired Siamese and beautiful. Like Ann Bancroft in that movie, she's not only lovely to look at but seductive and a strong, smart, middle aged woman who knows what she wants, LOL.
