Most of my cats I have (almost literally) stumbled across. My first little boy was under a bush in my grandmother’s backyard near a wildlife refuge, had two boys and one girl come to me nearly full grown and wanting to be tamed and adopted (they were afraid, but were making the effort themselves to approach me and my family lol), one little boy in a parking lot in an industrial area, and one girl that another client of my vet just turned to me while I was taking my parking lot boy home and asked if I wanted a “Simeez” cat. That girl is the only one I have ever had that I found through the intervention of another human being.
