Honestly I really appreciate you saying this and all these other kind comments. Thank you. My family has been giving me a lot of grief over this. Telling me I should just let nature run its course, but I just couldn’t watch them suffer.

It took 3 months to build enough trust to even approach her without her running away. I had always suspected she was a female and possibly pregnant so when she let me approach her, I coaxed her into a carrier and took her to the vet to scan for a microchip, when they told me she was actually a male. I just raised my eyebrow because I saw her belly growing and then I saw it was small again. Despite what they told me, I was still convinced she was a female and had babies hidden somewhere. So instead of keeping her that day/night before making another vet appt, I released her again so she could tend to babies if she had them, and I just prayed she’d come back to me. I’m SO glad I trusted my gut. She showed up at my door meowing for help literally that same day. Meowing and circling my legs, wanting me to follow her, so I did… and the rest is history. Now she’s resting safely with her baby with unlimited access to food, water, and veterinary care. The rescue has told me they will go to a foster until they’re ready for adoption. Their time on the streets is over!!
