Simon was born in an abandoned warehouse/house setting at the edge of town on some unused property.
When the property sold the new owners had a horrible cat problem. In a years time they had trapped close to 50 cats, left some at the pound, did TNR with others that they thought were pretty and possibly able to tame, and rehomed a few kittens they caught as well.
Simon ended up as one they brought to the pound. He was about 9 weeks old. Most likely inbred (most were siamese mixes) - and born without eyeballs.
It took him a while to adjust, but now he is happy, healthy and full of spunk.
