BUDDY UPDATE #5: Buddy is a Huge PAWFULL !! We are now 74 hours at the time of this post since his surgery for his neck and neuter procedure. LOTS Here to update you about Buddy...

* Captured Monday 6/1/26 9:30ish am. NO P*e or P**p until 7pm Tuesday night (at least 34 hours) when Buddy P*ed a RIVER in his BED. Did not use the Jumbo Litter Box (40lbs Litter inside)

* From Tuesday Midnight to 6:30am (6/3/26) Buddy Realized WHAT that Litter Box was actually used for!! Had a couple of p*e clumps and a couple of messy p**ps, along with a couple of pounds of litter OUTSIDE the box.

* All indicators now are that Buddy WAS NOT a cat thrown out by people or ever a domesticated cat, but rather survived outside from a kitten. Although currently HISSING, SPITTING and SWATTING at me when I get within 12" to 18", along with one injury I got from Buddy on Wednesday, I will not label him "Feral" yet AND this is most likely WHY Buddy p*ed in his bed as he was clueless about a litter box.

* Since being inside, he is using the litter box often, still very loose bowel movements, so he started today Hill's Science Diet BIOME (Prescription Food) which should help with that within a few days.

* Tuesday night Buddy did START to eat for us finally after not eating since we caught him. As of this morning (6/4/26) we are BACK to him watching me make his food in front of him (like we did outside as I was trying to win him over) and he is going up to eat it once I place it down while I am just a couple feet away, so the TRUST is slowly coming back.

* We moved him yesterday from the Garage (there for 48 hours for the Bravecto to kill all fleas and/or ticks) to our Sunroom where he will see much interaction with other cats and myself playing, loving, holding those cats. Surprisingly, NONE of our Catify Cats rejected Buddy and nor did Buddy Hiss or Spit at them, so that is SO promising !!

* His NECK is SLOWLY healing and we are praying he does not scratch that area much as we have no way to stop him from scratching it if he does.

* The pictures you see in THIS POST are from Yesterday afternoon after 4pm through Today. You'll see in Buddy's EYES that he still is not feeling the best (still recovering from all the drugs, vaccines and chemicals from the flea treatment ALL at once) and some of our Catify Family trying to make friends with Buddy in the other photos. This is RARE that we don't get some type of initial conflict with one, two or a few of them. The only CONFLICT is between Buddy & I if I get TOO CLOSE at this time.

We will give you hopefully a FINAL Update by Sunday, and hopefully a Glowing Report !!

BUDDY UPDATE: We brought Buddy home Monday afternoon about 4:30, the vets had just finished his procedure around 2:30. As of 7pm today, Buddy is pretty lethargic, has not eaten for us yet, no p*e or p**p yet and Rightly so after ALL he went through yesterday.

Buddy was Neutered, received his vaccines, had Bravecto applied for fleas/ticks/worms, received a 3 day pain shot, 2 week antibiotic, was put under to be fixed and have his neck worked on. ALL THOSE Chemicals & Vaccines at ONCE, I would feel sick for a few days. The pictures are from TODAY and his neck has some stiches and we were told that the BITE he got (assuming Another cat, all four canines got his neck and he wound up with an Abscess that had to be cleaned out which was infected.

So needless to say Buddy has been through a lot. Praying for better days ahead for him. Will update you again in a couple of days when he starts doing better. Prayers Please !!

UPDATE: 2PM, June 1st. Just got a call from Dr. Fink with Orrville Veterinarian Clinic. Buddy is currently out as I write this post, his neck wounds was pretty major and required stitches. While he is out and because it took them a while to be able to get him under as he was not cooperative whatsoever, We are doing the full gamma on him now while he is under. They were gracious enough to work him in today to also be Neutered, he will receive his full round of shots/vaccines, His eye injury addressed from a few weeks ago, His fur matts will be removed, And also given Braveto which is a 90 day flea treatment and 60 day worm treatment except for tapeworms. I am not 1 for wanting to do all those vaccines and chemicals in 1 day, but in his situation I don't think we had a choice. He is also getting a snap test which we hope and pray will be okay but in lieu of his fights he's had on the outside we don't know what those results will be yet. We will be picking him up later today after 4 o'clock and we'll update you to again either tonight or tomorrow.

UPDATE: Buddy is one smart cat! The 1st day we put the full size cage out and he went right into it to eat. We wanted him to get used to it so that I could capture him Monday morning so that we didn't have to leave him cage too long to take him straight to the vets. Well today, he chose not to go in the cage. So now we are going to resort to use an a drop trap. Hoping that he will go underneath it long enough for us to activate the device to capture him. These pictures that I just posted are from today at 8 o'clock PM Eastern standard time. As I talk with him, he just looks worn out and I can almost since he has pain in the neck area where he has those wounds. (See previous post) We will keep trying and keep you updated.

As a lot of you know, over the winter we helped several cats get through the winter by placing outdoor heated Clausable cat houses, Along with heated food and water bowls and they were able to survive our very cold winter we had. This particular orange cat, that we have affectionately named "Buddy", and has been hanging around since October 2025 Got a right eye injury a few weeks ago and now we just noticed wounds on his neck yesterday. As you can tell on the one picture we have had a TNR trap out there but no success. Late last night we put a cage out there and this morning he walked right in it for the food. So we are letting him get used to it today and tomorrow and our goal hopefully Monday morning is to capture him and get him to the vets. He seems to be friendly as long as you stay at a distance but we have not been able to touch him or pet him or anything but talk to him and graciously feed him.

The picture with the red wooden deck with the four cats is from 2014 when we allow them outside. At that point we were not formed as a nonprofit yet and we only had a total of 7 cats. The other 2 pictures are today, showing only 9 of our 29 cats outside but protected and 42" off the ground, In a well protected outdoor habitat. This way they do not get fleas or ticks.

I love feeding 😋 our cats first thing in the morning... Most get a buffet but several we have to isolate and feed prescription food. Currently we're feeding a total of 31 counting 2 of them outside that we are working on. A big thank you to Purina for their continued monthly support of our nonprofit organization for these cats. Their coupons go towards about a week's worth of Pro Plan moist food and about a month's worth of dry food on 3 of our 7 different flavors not counting the prescription foods we have to use. Every little bit helps.

We are really having a hard time trying to identify this cat. Our AI cameras we use to track the couple of cats we have cared for over the winter picked up this one tonight. I guess his filling his belly was more important than standing within 2 feet of me.
