John had a break their lease and leave early on 12/1 (they did tell him they
were leaving and he really didn't care).  But they left the studio apartment
a wreck.  Trash everywhere, food still in the refrigerator, everything just
dirty.  And they left the door standing wide open.  He discovered that when
he went over on Monday to look around.

So he hired a lady to come in and clean up; she went over yesterday.  He
went over in the afternoon to see how things were going.  She said, "This
cat keeps trying to come inside!"  Well guess what?  The tenants left their
cat, too!  GRRRRRRRRRR.

He said he should have guessed when he did the first walk-thru and there was
a litterbox sitting on the floor.  It just didn't register because the cat
wasn't in the apartment.

He said she's the most loving little cat.  An orange tabby.  Even has a
collar with a tag on it.  But she was starving!  And cold!  He'd shut off
the heat in the apartment the moment he knew the tenants were gone.  But
they'd left the door standing open (presumably so the cat could come and go)
so it was freezing in there!

The woman who was cleaning the place took the cat until they can find
someone to take her.  Purrs for this little orange kitty to find a good warm
forever home ASAP, please.
