New homeowners find note with instructions on their backyard neighbor

Earlier this month, Miranda and her family moved into a new home. When they walked into the house for the first time as official homeowners, Miranda found a note left by the previous owners.

They asked the new owners if they would care for a feral cat who's been living in the backyard for the past decade.

"We immediately looked out the back sliding glass door and he was looking at us through the door," Miranda said.

Fortunately, the feral kitty hit the jackpot with his new caretakers.

"We started laughing because we currently have five cats, all but one have been rescued," Miranda said. "The house we lived in previously, people used to drop off their cats there and we took them in."

Over the last several weeks of feeding him, the cat has started to trust the family.

"He used to hide anytime we came to the door. Now we can sit outside with him," she said. "He will come up and eat now when the screen door is open, which he wouldn't do before."
