Description
Okay, thats a tricky one.
I’m doing my bits with stray cats and got a call last week about an injured cat which needs to be trapped, it’s a stray cat.
I trapped him same evening, next day he went to the vets.
He is already neutered and his right eye was surgically removed years ago. Which means he had an owner and must have been a beloved pet.
He was living for many years in the Toames-area. Everybody there knows the cat but no owner there.
He is a very sweet and affectionate boy who loves to be rubbed and cuddled.
His age is 6+ probably already close to 10 years and he lived as a stray for at least 5 years. I don’t have much hope to find the owner after this long time, but want to give it a shot anyway.
He is not microchipped.
He had an accident couple of weeks ago, his right leg needed to be amputated and he is dragging the left leg sometimes – nerve damage. Might be reversible, but not for sure at the moment.
If anybody has an idea who that cat might have belonged to, please contact me.
It’s not about money, I just want to find the owner to tell him, his cat is still alive and give him the opportunity to take him in again if he wants to and can provide the environment the cat needs now (indoor cat only, he won’t survive outside)
update on the cat:
he had to be put to sleep. tumor on his spine, infiltrating,not curable. He was put out of his misery. May he rest in peace, poor thing.
But still – if anybody recognizes this cat, please contact me so I can let the owner know what happened.
Do you have any more pictures of this cat? I understand he was put down. Rest in peace. But if you have any more pictures could I see them please? We lost our cat a few years ago and he looks similar to the picture!
Hi Emma, I’m sorry I didn’t check here since my last entry. If you’re getting this – I have videos of him and a few more pictures. Would be happy to forward them to you.
Will try to send you a link. Have one video on YouTube.
