Rescues that are in their forever-home with him:

Leo, 6 years
Suspected to be a maine coon. Rescued from cat hoarder. The first to become a permanent resident. He has cerebellar hypoplasia and that does not at all stop him from being king of the house. Often found sprawled wherever he deems fit to observe his domain. Him big. Purrs like a lawnmower. Named by the rescue organization, Trowa didn't feel the need to change it.

Allegro, 11 years
Boxer. Found injured and malnourished, living in the rubble of an apartment building that had been bombed years ago. Her back leg had to be amputated. Was extremely aggressive and mistrustful of her rescuers at first. Now, very spunky and loving. Slobbers on everyone always. Named by Cathy.

Charivari (Chari), <1 year
Part of a litter of kittens pulled from a storm drain. Undernourishment and infection led to loss of her eyes. Trowa had intended for her to go out for adoption with her siblings once their fostering period was over, but she'd bonded intensely with Allegro, so she's been added to the family permanently. Still pretty skittish but her big slobbery best friend gives her courage. Named by Cathy.
There is also a constant rotation of foster animals, which have at times included deer, wild cats and canines, rabbits, birds, raccoons, squirrels, foxes... you get the drift. Any foster animal, domestic or wild, that poses a significant threat to the other animals in the house is kept in a separate area.
