Well, like always, another stray has managed to wind up with me. My husband was at a junk yard and found this beautiful himalayan cat. He is about a year old. He is bone thin... (you can't see the bones because of all the hair but you can most certainly feel them) He is covered in fleas, dehydrated, has an ear hematoma, isn't neutered and has a weak back end. (I think its from all the muscle loss) He is the sweetest little boy though... All I have to do is look at him and he purrs. He scarffed down a can of wet food (I didn't give him anymore yet because I dont want to upset his tummy)
Sadly, I can't keep him. I already have 10 cats as it is and know that I could not care for any more. Tommorrow I am taking him into work to be tested for FeLV and FIV. If he is negative, he will be going to a local shelter that I know won't put him down, no matter how long it takes to find him a home. (I use to work there so I know and trust these people. They have cats who have lived there for 5 years or more...) The problem is if he is positive for FeLV or FIV. The shelters FeLV and FIV homes are full, so if I brought him there and he tested postive, he would be put to sleep. Thats why I'm testing him at work... If he is positive, I am going to try and find a home that will take him.
I REALLY need FeLV/FIV negative vibes so he can go to the shelter and find a home...
I'll try and post a pic later of this sad looking little guy so you all can see who you are sending the vibes for...
