This is a sad situation, as are many of the things we deal with daily. This all-black fellow was found somewhere near the Airport. He had been "hanging around" near an occupied home. A raccoon was frequenting the same area. The man living there was concerned for the cat, so he live-trapped him and called K-SNAG. This poor cat had mats on his fur, bumps on his body, and a huge something on his face. It looked sort of like an injury, but what happened? He couldn't say. He ended up with a large, scabbed-over area on his face, and recently the scab came off. So it does seem to be healing. His first visit to the vet resulted in mats being shaved off, antibiotics being administered, ears being cleaned and treated, and he has been recuperating ever since. On Thursday, he will receive more vet care when he is neutered, vaccinated, and treated for worms. He has been a darling cat, purring throughout his vet visit, and seeming to enjoy just resting in his cage after who knows how long living on his own outside. He gets a little frightened when taken out of his cage, but then he settles in and enjoys being held and given a lickable treat. His estimated age is AT LEAST five years old, but one can't be sure in this instance, of course. But no matter, he is here; he needs a family, and he is wonderful! Call Dawn if you would like to meet this lovely boy.
