Must be bonkers!!

He really is gorgeous though! You can see that he needs a dental in the pics, the way his mouth is closed.

That's interesting, I hadn't noticed that. I have noticed him do the occasional odd thing with his mouth, and his breath does smell, but he can eat wet and dry food at the moment, so am holding on as long as possible so he can put some weight on, and gain a bit of strength - Tues, he couldnt jump on your knee, and although he could manage on Wed, it wasn't consistent, so he obviously still needs building up.

He's gorgeous

I can imagine how much of a joy it is for him to be around His snuggliness reminds me of Tom

Yeah, nothing better than coming home from a days work, and sitting on the floor with a cat who so clearly wants fusses - I am lucky with the ones I have in at the mo, Rosie, Bella and Zia also want to sit with you - only problem is splitting myself between them all!! I do have an offer of a home for him, but it would mean a drive and a ferry ride, so not sure whether to say no and try and find somewhere more local - dont want to turn down an opportunity for him though.

WEll, he is starting to put weight on, I thought he had lumps at first till I realised it was just a bit of flesh!! I am booking him in for a dental next week, the bit of his paw that he licks to clean himself is stained, but I want him to put a bit more weight on before he has an anaesthetic, and he can eat perfectly well at the moment. I hope he will put more weight on after - I do have an offer of a home for him, but it will be a long journey, so not sure what to do.

Well, Rolo has been here 2 weeks now, he is going for his dental on Tues, and then I can see what he is like with my cats and put him on the rehoming page, fingers crossed he wont be waiting long. I have had an offer of a home already, but it would mean a long journey, including going on a ferry, and I really am not sure about it. He has to have bloods and a drip due to his age, fingers crossed eveyrthing goes well for him, and he then puts even more weight on. Found out the hard way this week he can't tolerate food in gravy.

for his dental & a good home!

Thanks a lot.

Latest pics of him - as you can see, he is still thin after 3 weeks, but miles better than in his first pic. He didn't end up having a dental, as he only had one dodgy tooth, so he is on a/b's and letting him build up some more first.

One of him playing, no idea where the other one went to!!



I have taken him off the AB's, as he had a runny bum, and he hasnt' got the reserves to have that for 14 days, so giving him chance to get his tum right, then doign them every other day.

Awww, he is so cute! Good for you

I am sending vibes for finding him a good furever home

Thanks, as we only have 3 weeks of homing left this year, we aren't putting him up for rehoming yet, letting him put some weight on first, so it will be the New Year when we start to advertise him.

He looks like a different cat. You have really done a good job caring for him and getting him back in shape. It sounds like he may already have a home.

Thanks, he does look a lot better, but he is still sooo skinny, hence him not being put up for rehoming this year. i would love to keep him, but so far, he doesnt like Molly or my long term foster, and if they dont get on with mine, then keeping them isn't an option.

Rolo has been here for 6 weeks now, he is looking a lot better, still has two tone fur though, and his back legs are still soo thin, his sides are slightly thin, but nowhere near as bad as they were. He is finally learning how to play as well, bless him. Only problem is he wants some outdoor access now, so I am going to see what he does Sat morning - I dont think he want's to escape, I just think 6 weeks of being indoor for him is enough, and he is here for at least another 4 weeks.

Well, I had someone ring about Marmalade earlier, a 2 yo tortie, and they wanted a cat that would enjoy the fields they have at the back - Marmalade has always been an indoor only cat. So, I suggested Rolo, and despite ringing for a young female, he is willing to consider an older male, just needs to talk to his partner. Rolo is having his dental on Tues, so he is going to ring back after then, and fingers crossed he can go to his new home in Jan, when we start rehoming again. I would have loved to keep him, but he keeps fighting with the neighbours cats, so not an option.
