Sometimes I could just cry

I am so happy to read that , that is great news he has a home . Hopefully they will get him asap to the vet .

Oh MA- I'm so glad you helped look after this angel and then the owners found Murphey, Geez Puzzle is a lovely name! Will have to one of my kitties puzzle after him!

Keep up that angel spirit MA and never give up hope.

That's wonderful! I'm sure his parents were happy that there are kitty angels in the world like you who care enough to take in a sick kitty and care for him while they weren't able to.

awwww how wonderful!!! Love happy endings!!! And now you know another cat lover so if another friendly kitty comes by maybe they would be willing to give them a home

MA did you tell them about the rodent ulcers in his mouth?

Wow. This thread made me cry. I am such a wuss. I am so glad there was a happy ending

I told them about the roundworm infestation, the rodent ulcers and I suggested (strongly) that they take him to the vet tomorrow. The lady asked if she could have my antibiotic I was giving him, but I told her I can't do that, and again told her the vet will give him more antibiotic than what I had on hand anyway, as I am running low. Plus I never share medications with anyone for their animal unless that animal is in my care.

M.A.,

Could he have deteriorated that much in 3 weeks?

With the amount of roundworms in his system I believe he could have. Parasites are very taxing on a cat's system. He was so happy to see them, and as he had been out and about it our house with the other cats outside, and so not in captivity 24/7 I don't think he belongs to bad kitty parents. And like Mike says, if they abuse him, then he will always show up again here, and if that happens then I don't think i will notify anyone he is here.

I think that was good you did not give them any medication . If you would have shared medication then they may would have waited with the vet visit and the poor cat needs to be looked at the vet . Good job MA

Wow! I can't believe I missed this thread. I am so glad his people showed up. Bravo to you for taking care of him and for making the effort to find his people.

The puzzle of Puzzle solved! No wonder it was so confusing!!!! I'm so glad you left those flyers and he's been reunited with his fam! Of course - he had enough sense to find you once he'd wandered off.
