Steph and Francis’s neighbor(邻居) moved out. But she didn’t take her cat. At first, the cat came to their house every day. They gave him food. “He looked clean and healthy. He was very friendly. He looked like our cat, Pruno, so we call him Granpruno,” said Steph.

To help the cat, Steph called an animal rescue(救援组织). But before rescue workers could come to take Granpruno, Steph and Francis couldn’t find the cat.

Two weeks later, when Steph and Francis took out the trash, they saw Granpruno again. He was sitting inside their garbage bin(垃圾桶). Sadly, he looked like a whole different animal. He was all skin and bones and he didn’t seem good at all. Steph and Francis took him home. They loved the cat very much. So they kept him.
