The black cat that I came across about a month ago right beside the 101 Building is still living in the bushes there. There are people who feed him and take care of him, but no one has taken him home. He is still super friendly and loving and is not like the rest of the street cats here in Taiwan. He is totally a people cat and deserves so much more.
We are going to go and get him tomorrow night. Animals Taiwan is going to take him to the vets... fix him, give him all his shots and give him a once over. They have no cats in the cat shelter there right now, so they have room for him. I called Sean (the founder) at 1am tonight to tell him this (more than) perfect cat is still there and I can't leave him there. He agreed and as long as I can get hi to the shelter at some point (before midnight) this weekend they will do everything they can to make sure he is okay and healthy.
Oh, and when I come back from Cambodia he will come to my place (if he's not adopted first). I can't adopt him, but I will foster him until he gets a real home. This cat is amazing and I can't believe he doesn't have a home. I think anyone who met him would want to keep him in a second. He reminds me of Bubba and George mixed into one cat. He's pure black and so affectionate. Even if I only have him for a short time, I know I will fall hard for him.
We already named him... 仙草 / Xein Tsao (she-en ts-ao), which is Chinese for Angel Grass. Angel Grass is a black jelly dessert here that I absolutely love that is eaten on ice with different toppings like Taro, red bean, lotus seeds and other things. The actual angel grass jelly is pure black, just like this cat. He's sweet an I know everyone will want him, which makes the name perfect.
I'll update how the rescue goes tomorrow. It's supposed to be moving day... that can wait. I have to get this cat on the road to a real home with people who will appreciate how great he is...
The first picture isn't 仙草, but this street cat is a spitting image of him.
The second picture is 仙草 with taro over ice with cream... mmm... 仙草!!!
