“This is not my cat that we’ve been calling Frankie. He was found and saved by Lisa Alkire. I’ve helped foster and rehome a handful of animals dumped off Highway 2. This is one really cool cat; I’m hoping his owners see his sweet face and want it back. For now, he’s safe with me.” COURTESY PHOTO|RORI ANN MATTHAI
