Awesome amount of improvement done!
Hey it don't matter the color, it works for what ya need.
Check into low cost animal care (many counties offer these services) for getting your cat fixed.
I have had hundreds of cats dropped out here and cheap vet care is how I got them fixed ($20 for fixing a male was dang cheap).
Main reason why I would spend the money for the cat is you live in an area that has snakes and cats dislike snakes so will keep you safer along with rodent control.
Check and see if you have Osage orange trees in your area, they are great placed under your house and in under sinks and stuff for keeping spiders, roaches and stuff from wanting to live there with you (use an old knife to cut them and place the cut pieces on foil so they don't stain).
Looking forward to more of your journey!
