Just thought I'd share a 'before and after' for Squiggy! In 2019, I found a stray cat who I bonded with after gaining his trust. I checked for his owners but found none, and the vet confirmed he had no microchip. He's now my beloved companion and a true gift in my life.1yr ⋅ AbrocomaInevitable66 ⋅ r/BeforeNAfterAdoption
