So about a month ago my mom took in a skinny stray, super sweet lovely cat. Named her Josephine
Had a vet appointment today to get all her shots and a once over, good news is ‘she’ is healthy.
Hilarious news…”Josephine” is actually a “Joseph” (neutered at some point)
Still loved all the same 
Joseph is very handsome! Glad he got a clean bill of health and was already neutered. 
Joseph is very handsome! Good thing his collar is not hot pink.
Better than the one we had years ago that went the other way 'round. Took a male in to be neutered, vet misread the memo and opened him up to spay him. Poor guy lost his balls and had all those stitches…
Joseph is a cutie 
I had a barn stray I was sure was female.
Solid black, petite… I called her Black Betty.
Never sprayed, got along with my resident female & no visible “parts”.
A visit to the Emergency vet (sadly final) revealed an intact male.
Poor little thing had a saddle thrombosis.
At least I was there with him at the end. 
The hilarious thing is he already has a tag on the collar that says “Josephine”
Yikes!
Poor thing, atleast he knew love and you were with him
We met a Weim breeder who was really sad. Her dog sitter or assistant brought the wrong dog in to be neutered—it was her pride and joy stud.
Eek. I would think that in a breed where they all look similar one would have the microchip checked before doing a neuter on a show dog.
To be fair, it was in the early 90s—were chips a thing then?
Hey, he’s now got a wonderful home with his own person that loves him. I think he’d be fine with being called Josephine for the rest of his life! And what a story your mom has now! 
oh NO!!! That is beyond awful!
He identifies as Loved
Call him Joe, it works for either gender!
Love his face!
I had a cat on the last property I lived at that I had been calling Ginger for years. Pet names were pretty princess, pretty girl, etc etc. took Ginger to the vet and discovered that Ginger was a boy. The vet had a good laugh because even she had been treating him like a girl. But in our defense Ginger was a very very fluffy kitty. Named was changed to Jimger.
Jo is very cute and thank you taking him in!
Ginger is a boy’s nickname in England.
Think of Ginger Baker.
He’s beautiful! Such a lucky kitty to find your mom. 
What a good looking fella!
They sure were, that’s when I got my Cocker puppy and we had him chipped.
