We have two cats, Tequila and Eva (it was supposed to be Tequila and Sunrise, but my stepdaughter got to name one of them, and she did not like Sunrise - Eva is a female ginger cat, so the name would have fit). We got them from the shelter the week after we got married. We thought they were just left at the shelter, but a few months later, we get a call from the shelter asking if we had any pictures of them (duh, of course!). They wanted to do a story about them for their holiday newsletter. Apparently, they weren't dropped off but rescued. They lived in an incredibly dirty house (we saw a picture of the kitchen later, and there was 6 inches of trash all over the floor), and were neglected. Rarely fed or given water. There were actually three cats, but the one was locked in a bedroom and had starved to death. A neighbor grew concerned and called animal control. The pictures of what they looked like when they were brought to the shelter make you want to cry. A month later, we got them. They were still older kittens, as they grew a bit after we got them. The appear to be sisters (Tequila is a patch tabby, and has the same ginger in spots on her). They are the two coolest cats in the world. Eva is a sweet, gentle, friendly soul. Tequila is incredibly smart (she makes her sister look like a "dumb blonde", lol ). My husband was never a cat person until now. He loves them both as much as any dog he ever had.
