Oh my goodness, I didn't realize I hadn't posted that about a month ago Marmalade stopped showing up but I'd driven past his house and stopped and petted him so I knew he was ok. He did show up 2 nites ago with a weird bump on his nose.

In the mean time another underweight ginger heard about Gypsys cafe and has been visiting for about 2 weeks. At first very very skiddish and very very vocal and very hungry for wet food, someone must be feeding dry as they show no interest. At first would eat and take off but gradually started hanging around after eating talking a lot, wanting to come close but afraid to and jumping away if I moved too fast. Then started brushing against my leg in their hurry to eat and lounging, rolling around showing tummy. Allowed me to touch and rubbed his/her (? always think as a girl) body against my hand as she flowed around like a friendly shark moving through the water. Yesterday (Mon, didn't realize the time) after she'd eaten I'd given her a skitter mouse to play with when Scardy cat showed up, he/she (? but always think as a him) been feeding him for 2yrs now and he had been around and eaten when other kittys had been eating including this new kitty so after I put down a bowl for him I went inside as sc won't eat if I don't. I looked out the window to see if he was at the bowl when I saw him running toward our parked car out front I dashed to the door and saw scardy cat chasing little ginger across the boulevard and down the next street! I shouted and went after them! Found sc and read him the riot act! Both have been TNR'd so it wasn't a breeding issue, sc has seen me petting other cats so I wouldn't think jealousy he's never been violent before. Luckily lg showed up tonight (Tue) I stayed very still, moving slowly speaking very reassuringly and lots of petting including face rubs and I touched tummy as she went winding around my legs. Fairly skinny but doesn't gorge maybe a tapeworm? I have a feeling she's a she, fairly young and was once an inside kitty or at least had someone to belong to.

That face!
I want to coax her in but can't risk Gypsy.
Want to scoop her up for vet visit but can't afford to.
I'll keep feeding and giving love while trying to find someone to give her a loving furrever home.

She has beautiful green eyes so I've been calling her Scarlett after Scarlett O'Hara.

I can't see these orange beauties anymore,it just breaks my heart and I cry

I'm grateful at least they have you feeding them..... it's just too sad,heart breaking that somebody obviously loved this girl,I wonder what happened but I'd imagine someone is missing her terribly or
they're dead

Bless your heart DD,hope you find them homes

I think Marmalade could have been bitten or stung by an insect.

Oh boy, yes, new kitty is a cutie! Maybe he/she belongs to someone else too?

I'm searching on fb and Next Door etc... for someone looking for her. Fingers crossed

Looks like she’s in good shape.

She's lovely! Yes, she's lean, but I wouldn't call her skinny, at least not from the pix. Cats are supposed to be slender. You can use that cat weight chart widely available online to rate her body conditioning seen from above. She looks very healthy to me.
As for Marmalade, again from the pix, it looks like he has a bite or sting on his nose. Hopefully it is not infected and will heal on its own...
