Okay, all. IN case the owner is still looking (doubtful,
but you never do know).
I found a Siamese Male Flame Pt. cat in a feral colony
in Leesburg VA.
Long short, took over care of the colony in Feb. 09
this cat was seen April 08 and trapped Dec 08
for neutering.
There are many trucks that go through
this parking lot and are near where
he lived under a dumpster. So,
he could have been dumped off,
escaped and gotten there, or been trapped in a truck
and ridden to this location.
He was supposed to be feral. He walked into our
trap on May 25. He IS NOT A FERAL!
Had severe dental disease, due to 3 crushed
teeth. Vet says damage consistent with
being hit on purpose by a human. We suspect
a dumping - thrown out of car maybe? Age
range is anywhere from 3-6 yrs now.
His jaw was NOT broken, but teeth were.
Led to him getting severe infection which
he couldn't fight off, as he is also FIV+
He has had all the vet care needed for now.
We are desperately seeking a GOOD home
that will love him despite his FIV+ status
and won't be afraid to take him on.
His blood panels are normal, no kideny or
liver issues. He is Feluke neg. He
is up to date on rabies, de-wormed,
de-ear mited, and will soon have a bath
and a photo shoot.
He has 1/2 a jaw of teeth left, and the vet
isn't sure that these won't also have to be
pulled at some point from dental disease,
but he is optimistic it won't happen for
several years yet, if we take care of his
diet and teeth.
Sweet boy is great with other cats, mellow
and laid back.
He is JUST coming out of
his shell of extreme fear, and learning that
humans aren't here to hurt, but as his
dim memories of love tell him, we are here to HELP.
Once he knows you he will chrrup, meow and
beg for lap and love time. He is cuddle bug
galore.
Given what he just went through,
the vet staff is so surprised! His feral caretakers
from before who left, can't tell me how surprised
they are either.
He is completely non aggressive with other cats
- as far as I can tell. He would be good in a home
with someone who LOVES and UNDERSTANDS the
Siamese breed's need for people and love.
He CANNOT be placed via Siamese Rescue, they
do not intake FIV+ cats, unfortunately.
All his medical has been done, and he will go
to a good home, with a donation made to
the Humane Society to help defray his medical
expenses and help them help other needy cats.
We do not have pictures yet, but when we do,
I will post them on Flickr for everyone to look at.
In the meantime, please, please, please
if you know of anyone who loves this breed
and would make a *responsible*
*caring* owner for a cat that has been through a
hellish experience, let me know!
There is room for transporting to a qualified home.
(This means we will check out all potential adopters
to make sure everything is on the up and up.)
