Hello all,
Last week, after a long illness my beautiful and sweet main coin "Kota" was put to sleep and for the first time in nearly 2 decades I cried...a lot
But life without a feline is empty so I decided that my next cat would be a rescue cat.
After looking at many cat and wanting to save them all, I found " Blue" an American shorthair at the local shelter.
It wasn't so much me picking him as it was him picking me... I mean when he starts purring and wants a belly rub....[emoji]128525[/emoji]
When I had to leave he stod up,looked at me with big round eyes and cried....I was sold!
So in my heart he's the cat I want, but there's a thing that I worry about....
Blue is around 4-5 years old and before he came to the shelter he was subjected to a trial involving interferon
at a university hospital.
The leader of the shelter couldn't really tell me anything further, except that during Blue's stay at the shelter (roughly 8 months) he has been an active and happy cat and apparently the only effect from the experiment has been that he at time will get a runny nose.
A runny nose I can deal with, but I am worried that there might be more severe side effects....but that is of course very difficult to predict.
What do you say?
Should I adopt him or..?
Many regards
