That's such a sweet story! I got Clementine, my older cat, in a similar way. Except after she got locked in the laundry room closet at our old apartment complext for two weeks, we took her in the apartment and never let her out again. She was pretty unhappy with us at first but now has no desire to go out.



The orange guy got out in the car on the way there

I'd had the windows down b/c he reeked of pee but I got them up in time. He just sat on the dashboard til we got there, and then I picked him up in his towel and put him back in the carrier. Surprisingly easy. Even my owned cats wouldn't have been so cooperative.
