'He has gone from a scared kitty... to a garage cat': What began as a rough life outdoors turns into comfort, care, and belonging for one very special cat

Larry showed up carrying all the signs of a hard life. No collar, no chip, underweight, and clearly used to being on his own. He was wary at first, more comfortable outside than anywhere else, but there was a sense that he wanted stability even if he didn't quite trust it yet.

Over the past few months, that trust has grown steadily. What began as brief check-ins slowly turned into a routine, then into a garage setup with food, a bed, and a safe place to rest. Eventually, Larry made the leap to becoming a full house cat, with occasional outdoor time on his own terms. Each transition happened gradually, guided by patience and consistency. Living alongside other cats has come with some growing pains, especially around mealtimes, but there are more playful moments now and fewer signs of stress.

As Larry settles in, his personality has become impossible to miss. His large paws, striking features, and confident presence fill the space he's in. Watching him relax into comfort feels like witnessing a quiet victory. After a long stretch of surviving, Larry finally has a place to belong.

Such an amazing turnout for Larry. Going from scruffy and scared to safe, fed, and slowly settling in is everything you hope for with a rescue like this.

The CDS really never misses. Just when a cat needs the right place to land, the system delivers, and somehow it always turns into a purrfect match.
