Oreo has been staying in the park since late 2007 when his owner abandoned him at the void deck. Soon after, I got him sterilised with a tipped ear. He is quite an affectionate cat and receives attention from other people who are attracted to his pedigree look, but no one brings him home.
I had not thought of putting him up for adoption until a few months ago. His long fur on his back was badly matted and he would be all wet after a heavy downpour. Mom and I thought it would be worth a try to see if anyone could adopt him after we sent him for grooming.

After grooming, he looks so much cleaner.
However, we decide not to put him up for adoption, as he was shouting loudly at my friend's flat on the 4th night when she was helping me to foster him after the grooming. He was probably not used to the new environment and has been used to the big space offered by the park. By nature, he is also quite a vocal cat. He will make a strange loud sound when we try carrying him. He screamed when I put him into the carrier to send him for grooming.
Back in the park for the past few weeks, he has been happily eating. I like his new GI look and his fur feels very soft.
This is Oreo's favorite resting position :)
We think he is happier in the park and hopefully the cats in the park can continue to live there peacefully

Oreo is so cute!! the second picture is poster-quality :)
but how does it sound like when cats shout? the strays around my neighbourhood don't seem to do that.
I think Oreo went "ow ow ow" very loudly. Good that the cats in your area aren't shouting. It means they aren't scared or unhappy :)
he has a really adorable face.
What an adorable cat!! It's very nice that you took look out for him and he seems like a happy cat. =)
He's so cute indeed... have a big head. And I've not seen any cat sitting in this resting position before!
It's really so adorable of him.
By the way, how did you managed to capture them in "stay put" position when taking pics?
I'm having problems with it..
I think the cats are comfortable with us after seeing us for the past few years. However, a few of them get frightened by the camera or the clicking sound.
