What a beautiful kitty! He was so lucky to have come across your friend and yourself.
Good job in caring for the poor darling cat!
He is gorgeous
years ago one of my cats got bitumin on him im not sure if thats the same thing as oil , he had to have lots of baths and because it was on the top of his little paws the vet shaved them as he kept trying to lick them even though he had been washed .
hope he has a quick recovery now he in the care of someone who will love him

Thank you angel kitty rescuer!
Here's a tip or two for fattening them up:
AD science Hills diet canned wet food - high calorie for kitties that need it
Baby food - great for all cats as a treat and extra protien source
make sure no garlic or oinon powder - feed Gerbers no. 2 meat, turkey etc
Senior geriatric cat milk or kitten milk replacement called KMR - both found at Petco. The senior milk is also carried at selected Giants - you can buy it canned. Extra calories and nutrients in the senior products...
Small pieces roasted chicken (if you happen to be eating..)
To keep warm: Snuggle disk is great (buy at Petco or on line via Dr. Smiths
Vet Catalog), rice sock warmer (make it with rice and a sock, heat it in micro a few minutes to get rice warmed up... instructions on internet how to do this - it make great emergency heater if you haven't got another source)
Best o luck with the little guy!!

Update on Buddy!!
He is doing very well..he is less fidgety and sleeping stretched out!!
Eating well and potty doings look healthy.. i just have to fatten him up and calm him down when i feed him wet food, he gobbles it up,,growling. I know thats from fighting for his food. Once he realizes that no one is gonna take it , he will calm down. He is gonna need a little work in that area. I think his poor body is sore cuz he grabbed my hand with his mouth, like stop rubbing me so hard..I am sore. He loves tobe held and cuddled, petted lightly but not rubbed. No meat on his bones. Update in a few days..thanks for all your good vibes..I love this site!!

I'm glad he is doing well! He probably has parasites too, namely tapeworms, and that can contribute the frantic eating also, in addition to just being starving!
Thanks for the update!

I wantedto give him a few days to calm down and get through the shock of eating a regular diet before I deworm him. Thats next on my list...I did flea treat him even though he did not have fleas, which was surprising because he was so dirty.
Thanks!
