I may be jumping the gun here. But I want to get this boy out of here asap. If there is someone near here that can help, I will work out the details of getting ahold of him to get him to a new, better home.
Bo is a neighbor cat that has been banished outside because he is loaded with fleas. He is anemic, and I don't expect him to live long. His gums are white, the fleas are unbelievable. I gave him a bath, and fed him, but it is unfortunately the best I can do at this point. I have some frontline and capstar on it's way to me, and I will grab him next time I see him and get him treated for the fleas.
Several of the neighborhood brats are tormenting him. I saved him once but I'm not always around to play kitty defender, and until my current two find homes, I can't take in another. Evil kitty tormenter #1 was tossing this poor cat into the air, and catching him. Except once, she didn't catch him. ( She was holding him by the back legs. She was flinging him around, throwing him into trash cans, all the while mushing on him and saying "I wuv kitty". Evil Kitty Tormenter #2 was "whipping" Bo because he didn't want to be held on his back. I couldn't take it. I finally had enough and gave them a talking to about how to treat the cat. I could see my words bouncing off of their thick skulls. So I told her to take the cat back to his owner and tell her that the kitten was going to die if she didn't keep it inside and get rid of those fleas.
Bo is safely in the house. For now.
He is very thin. I imagine this is due to lack of food, and probably a nasty case of worms. He is unneutered. I believe he spent at least kittenhood in a house, so hopefully he has a clue about litterboxes.
Personalitywise, I can say he is the most laid back cat I've ever seen. Unfortunately I think this is because he's too sick to be anything else.
If someone wants to take on this cat, I will get him.
