Behold, our new kitty.
Washburne - from the Firefly character, because of his friendly demeanor.
Van Gogh - after Vincent Van Gogh. His left ear had mites which cut off some blood vessels, preventing it from growing properly.
Wash is about three years old. He was abandoned by a previous owner. Another couple had found him in their back yard and fed him for a little while, but as they had two cats (and a third that recently died of cancer), they weren't ready to take him in. So they talked to their friends, and their friends work with my friends, who knew we are very kitty friendly. The couple has paid for all of his shots and other medicine. We have to wait a few weeks before taking him in for the Big Snip.
Wash has kitty HIV. It's not a big deal for cats as it is in humans. But if we adopt another cat while we have Wash, it should already have HIV, otherwise Wash will infect it.
We've had him for two hours now. He's making himself comfortable on the couch, sleeping next to me.

Awwwww! Poor baby. I'm so very glad he's found a loving and safe home with you and Jillian. Oh, and I adore that you like Firefly too!
So cute:) and that kitty is just sitting when you had him for 2 hours?! My kitty started to explore and that kitty is not a kitty... its a spider kitty. The cat who climbs on walls.... and the ceiling. At least twice that day i walked into a room and that stupid cat jumped on me... Its nice that you rescued that poor little kitty^^
