Gnarl was nothing but a tiny black kitten when my boyfriend and I found him. His owners went on vacation and didn't bother to find the kitten a care taker while they were gone. We found him hungry and alone, wandering around in the street. Not sure what to do we went to the store and the little kitten brave as he could be followed us all the way there and all the way back. Now we knew that this poor little lost kitten had chosen us as its new owners. So we took him in and gave him a soft blanket to sleep on and he's been with us ever since.
