About 2 weeks ago I went out my back yard and found a full grown, pitch black cat. I started feeding him and named him Charcoal. He would meet me at the top of the stairs every morning. I realized he was a throw-away when he let me pet him with purrs. I introduced him to friends, and they got to kneel down and pet him. Yup, definite throw-away.
I contacted my Animal Control contact who helped me get the rest of the colony TNR'ed. She gave me a really difficult time. Her price went up by 500%! And she wouldn't lend me a have-a-heart cage. So I sent out an email to all of my friends asking that they check their friends for someone looking to adopt a cat. My friends, the Tom's came thru. They're adopting Charcoal today.
Right now he is at the vets getting snipped, clipped and dipped. His nails are being clipped and he is being treated for fleas and worms. The vet is also testing for FIV and Leukemia. PLEASE send out any prayers you have that Charcoal is negative! They will not take him if he is positive since they have other cats! We will know by 4PM.
This boy is such a lover. He spent the weekend in a dog crate in my basement, rubbing against the cage looking for scratches! He needs TCS vibes!
