Frankie
Location: Sioux Falls, South Dakota, USA

Frankie was born to a stray along with a sibling that had passed. A few days after we hadn’t seen the mom we feared they all had perished! But while some men were laying fiber optics in our backyard, I stepped out to ask them something & they turned off their machine. I heard the tiniest of mews, and lo & behold, there he was hidden behind an old wheelbarrow between our garage & storage shed! Dirty & hungry but no-worse-for-wear, I scooped him up & he was ours for life! Although cat #2 he reigns supreme – now a whopping 17 lbs! He & Buddy (see my avatar) are the best of friends & we are blessed to have their love, their devotion & sometimes their terrorism! Purrfection!

Good hunting Frankie, purr long and purrsper!
Frankie is just adorable, he is lucky you found him and to have a mom like you to take good care of him. Give him a big hug for me.
I wonder which TDK person Frankie belongs to. It says “Check my avatar” to see Buddy. He is certainly a little cutie!

Hello Frankie! You have the most cutest face ever! Great story! Thank you for sharing him with us!
Awwwww..nom nom nom…Frankie is sweet enough to eat! What a little darlin’. Sure would like to see an update pic! 17lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow! =)
Frankie, I am swooning over you!!!
Is that paper tuna flavored?
Frankie is a doll baby! He looks like he had no trouble making himself right at home with his new family. And a brother to look after him already built-in! It must have been serendipity that the workers turned their machine off just at the right time so you could hear little Frankie’s call for help. Wow!
Definitely “Divine Intervention”~both my babies were found abandoned & in need of help immediately~God Loves All of Us!!!
That little face says it all. What a ham!
