A cat with many names.
I met him as Poncho.
Some call him Meatball.
I am sure he is known by many names!
No matter the name he has a good life down
along 1st Street in Bandon, Oregon.
He knows where to go for food and shelter
so he is well cared for and fed for a street urchin.
Spends his days strolling along 1st Street stopping in
for a snack at Tony’s Crab Shack or the Bandon Fish Market!
He has become adept at avoiding tourists and their dogs and tires.
Yet he remains friendly enough to have many friends near and far.
He will gladly let you pet him and rub his ears.
He's a little rough so show some respect.
He is one of the cooler cats on the west coast.







I was introduced to Poncho by Marcia Rules.
She is his biggest fan!
