Hello everybody. I wrote a few days ago about a cat with leukemia that needs a home. I was contacted today about yet another one. I told the guy it really doesn't look good for me placing this cat as I didn't get anybody interested in the other one but I promised I'd give it a try. So this is the info on the newest one.
The kitty is named Figero. He is a grey tiger with white feet, a white stomach and a white chest. He is very sweet and loveable. He was born March 2005 and the owner claims he tested him in September at which point the cat tested negative. He took the cat to the vet today for gum problems and the cat tested positive. He claims the cat doesn't go outside but was found living outdoors in September and must have been leuk positive at the time but tested negative. The cat is up-to-date on all his vaccines, is neutered, flea treated, treated for worms, etc. I asked the guy why he doesn't keep the cat but he claims his mother and his shih tzu died recently and he just can't take any more loss. I tried to convince him that this is not a death sentence but he refuses to let the cat "suffer" and will euthanize him if I can't place him. I don't understand why people don't want to give these cats a chance! Anyways, as promised I'm looking to see if anybody has a home for this cat, the other one below, or both. Please let me know if anybody can help. I know we are all full as I would love to take these two myself but just can't in my current situation. The cat I posted earlier in the week is also an only cat. He tested positive a ways back and the owner decided to keep the cat but now that she is pregnant she wants to put the cat to sleep. She is letting the cat outdoors knowing that he is leuk positive because she doesn't want to clean litter pans and is not touching the cat or going near him because she is afraid for her baby. His name is Shadow. He's about 1 1/2 years old. He's grey, has his current rabies shot, and received flea treatment within the last few weeks. He enjoys sitting by the fire and playing. As always, I'll arrange transport if anybody has a home for these cats. I've been looking into sanctuaries but haven't had much luck and neither owner wants the cat to go to a sanctuary. Why they'd rather euthanize, I'll never understand. Amy Weygandt Woof Wagon www.woofwagon.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
