Amazing adjustments
Pekoe the cat is now in his new home. After what seemed like an extremely long trip of listening to him caterwhauling in my ear, he arrived safely and was ensconsed in a kitty condo at his new home until his adjustment to his new surroundings.
After being on the street for who knows how long and watching his territorial behavior at the DV shelter where I work, we were concerned he would take on all the other residents in the house to establish his dominance.

They don't want to mess up the opportunity afforded them so they adjust. I wish I could find them all homes like this. It simply isn't that easy. We, unfortunately, cannot save them all and are simply trying to do it one animal at a time.
