On June 19th, during a thunderstorm, a small cat ran in my garage. I was able to capture him and immediately realized he was starving. I could see all of his ribs and vertebrae. With two other cats in the house, I couldn’t bring him inside, so I kept him in a dog crate in the garage overnight with food, water and a litter box. I took him to the vet on the 20th, where to my surprise, I found out that this nearly adult cat was 9-10 months old. He only weighed 2.7 lbs.
To keep the story shorter, he tested clean of all major diseases, is now named Romeo, and is doing fairly well with the introduction to the other pets in the house. He is very friendly and has a furever home now.
I have seen the vet twice, for his initial checkup and a follow up for an eye infection, and in a weeks time, he gained almost 2 lbs, which the vet seemed ok with. His next appointment is 2 weeks away, but for anyone who might know, how fast is it ok for him to gain weight? Should I slow down the feeding now that he is in a better place then he was?
