Zirkie

My story

This is is big, orange sweet heart! He is so loving and friendly! Zirkie began showing up at my porch November 2024. He would run away whenever I came out of the house. Assuming he was another feral cat, I set a trap for him, caught him, and took him to the TNR clinic at Austin Humane Society (they tipped his left ear for easy identification). He had no microchip. After a few weeks of living with my other feral cats, I realized he was tame and very used to humans once he figured out they were not going to hurt him. I put up posts in the local community, but no one replied. He is the typical orange, boy cat: sweet, affectionate, easy going. He is the underdog of my feral colony and just tries to stay away from the bully cats. I can pick him up and pet him. Where ever he came from, he got handled a lot. Zirkie is named after my late friend and great Austin musician, Stephen Zirkel, who passed away in August 2024
