Once upon a time, someone decided feeding feral cats wasn’t as much fun as trying to help them live better lives would be, so she called a local feral cat lady who came and trapped this feral family. Mom heard about the feral kittens and upon seeing them, fell instantly in love with the gray boy kitten, whom she called Cameron.
Cameron was a true feral, a son of a feral mother, and it took a long time before anyone could touch him without drawing back a ventilated finger or hand. But with time and patience, he became less and less wild and a wonderful member of the early Colehaus family.
Mom and Dad believe he was much happier as an indoor cat than had he been left to learn to fend for himself in a hardscrabble life among the wild blackberry bushes alongside a very busy city street. Of course, no one knows that for certain, but we’ll gladly argue the point with just about anyone.
One thing we are absolutely certain of is that had he remained a feral in the wild, he would never have met the love of his life, Zooot, who loved him every bit as much right back.
We smile whenever we stop to remember Angels Cameron and Zooot, knowing they are together over the Rainbow bridge. If you’d like, you can read a bit more about Cameron and Zooot and the other never forgotten Angels of Colehaus Cats here.
Cameron was a handsome boy. It is so rewarding to gain the trust of a feral cat. It takes a lot of patience as you well know. Bet you have some good memories.
What a gorgeous boy he was.
The photo of Angel Cameron in his basket is jigsaw puzzle-worthy! Am off to read about these two Colehaus angel cats…then I’ll go play jigsaw puzzles! You’ve created a monster…you know that, right?! LOL! Have a terrific weekend, and I love your photos and your blog!
Cameron was a lucky cat. Too bad they all cannot be that lucky.
I love your two dear Angels. I will come and read more about them.

I can’t imagine being outside and on my own. Glad I have a roof over my head, foods in my dish and lots of loves.
That was such a sweet post filled with lots of love.
So happy to read about angels Cameron and Zoot. Your kitties are very fortunate!
That is a sweet story. They both looked very happy.
Cameron and Zoot were both adorable. And I agree with the above comment that they are jigsaw puzzle worthy.
Thanks for sharing Cameron with us. That’s a great story!
