THE REST Of the story about  Raccoon the Choo Choo Cat. 

You may remember reading all about Racoon the Choo Choo Cat HERE in March 2023, 

Introducing Raccoon the Choo Choo Cat.  

About three years ago, this tabby arrived at Nick's pretty much feral BUT hungry.  They put out food and water under the awning.
He kept coming every morning for all the TLC from Nick and staff. Nick was finally able to trap him.  He was neutered and fully vaccinated and microchipped. I don't know why/who named him Raccoon it is rather endearing.  He comes and goes out of the shop and can be found lounging all around the shop.

In mid October, 2023, I went to Nick's Train  store with Bryan.  I casually asked about Raccoon. 

Here is the REST OF THE STORY
Early October someone saw him wondering around their apartment.  They 'thought' he was hungry and thirsty so they set out food and water. WELL everyone knows if you feed them they will stay.  Raccoon was enjoying the food.  After a few days of feeding him, SUPRISE he kept coming.  They called called Wake Co. Animal control, told them there was stray cat hanging around their door.  (DUH they were feeding him).  Wake Co. Animal Control picked him up.  Thankfully Raccoon had a microchip.  They called Nick to tell him they had Raccoon at their facility. 
Nick paid his bail to get him out of Jail aka Wake Co. Animal Shelter. He is now an inside Train Shop Cat.


Raccoon is living the living and loving the life of an indoor Choo Choo train cat.

  6. Thank goodness Racoon is chipped so they could find where he belongs. Being an indoor cat is much safer for a cat these days anyway. Good story ending.

  7. Great thing about the micro chip so Racoon could not go too far without finding good humans to get him home. And inside where the living is easy. Love the outside photo. Too dark up here and too cold already. Lynn and Precious

  9. I think he got his name from his tail, in the bottom of the first collage, his tail looks just like our raccoons tails do. this is a wonderful story and a very good rehab from jail time story. He went to jail and came back out to a wonderful world as a train cat. what could be better. My cousins had 2 outside cats that are her rat controllers. because she doesn't feed them, the neighbors decided that was not good and started feeding one of them. now the cat has moved over there and she has to et another ratter.
