Another wonderful adoption update! We love this so much! ♥️😺🐾

“We just wanted to give an update to our kitties. We adopted Churro and Vince August 24th 2025, so we’ve had them just over a year. Their names are Chai and Matcha now. We gave an update just after we got them but they have gotten so much more comfortable over the year. We got our kitties after a hard loss with a senior kitty we loved dearly. These kitties have brought so much life back into our lives. They are so fun, we love them so much!!”

Adopted 8/29!!!
Henry’s story:
When Henry arrived at Manatee County Animal Welfare, he needed much more than routine veterinary care.

A severe wound on his neck had developed into an abscess, an infection commonly caused by cat bites. The MCAW medical team carefully treated the wound while also providing the other veterinary care he needed. His recovery required additional time, monitoring, and specialized care before he could move on to the next chapter of his life.

Cases like Henry’s are something our the medical team sees regularly. There is also an important lesson behind Henry’s story.

Intact cats, particularly males, are more likely to roam, compete for territory and fight with other cats. Cat bites can leave small puncture wounds that close quickly at the surface, trapping bacteria underneath the skin and allowing an abscess to develop.

Spaying and neutering can help reduce hormone-driven behaviors such as roaming and fighting. That is one reason programs such as Trap-Neuter-Return, or TNR, are so important for community cats. In addition to preventing unwanted litters, sterilization can reduce behaviors that put cats at greater risk for injuries and certain diseases.

Henry’s story also highlights a part of animal sheltering the public does not always get to see.

Every animal entering our care is evaluated as an individual, and the MCAW medical team works every day to give injured and sick animals the best opportunity possible to recover. Sometimes that means care far beyond the routine vaccinations and spay or neuter surgery our animals receive before adoption.

Today, his wound is healed, his surgeries are behind him and he is available for adoption. He lives comfortably with other cats, loves attention, gives enthusiastic head bumps and is always ready for cuddles.

And if you notice the scar above his eye, don’t let the stare fool you. He is one of the sweetest cats you’ll ever meet, and is now available for adoption at Cat Town. Come meet him 🧡🐱
