We adore Vader (re-named “Johnny”)! He has adjusted well to his new surroundings and is such a happy camper!
He camped out for a month on our sun porch, getting to know us and our dog, “Cash” (SPCA rescue from 10-ish years ago). We slowly introduced him to our garage where he has a bed/food/water and his own access door.
He loves our BIG ole’ wrap-around porch, where his “cat hotel” is set up. It has become his favorite hang-out, where he enjoys long naps on his other bed (in photo)
