I was very fortunate to meet one of downtown Pensacola's Seville street cats, Romin. It was a good day for both of us...
Days before our meeting, neighbors and businesses around summoned and beaconed for his rescue. This kitty was 'running out of gas' lethargic and in very poor condition. When I could, I'd grab my trap and set search for him... Never found him. 😿
There was a time or two I thought I'd get stopped for trespassing. 😹
A week ago he finally found my yard to lay in wait for help. Well, he came to the right place. 😼 Was this a coincidence or guidance from a higher being? 👁️
Anyway, fast forward, Romin is still in my cat enclosure and recovering from his clinical neuter, vaccinations, and treatment for a large infected wound. In addition to flea and parasite treatments, he tested negative for heartworms, FIV, and leukemia. His ears were cleaned and he now models a left ear-tip (AKA love-bite).
I'll release him tomorrow morning but he's welcome to stay and be a courtyard kitty 😻 (It's in his Seville district, so he'll be right at home). I have a feeling he'll leave (hence is name); we shall see.
So, if you're in the area and see this sweet orange soul, be kind and offer him a can of Fancy Feast salmon and a fresh bowl of water.

Community Cats do not choose this life style but they don't have a choice.

TNVR (trap, neuter, vaccinate, return) makes a difference for kitties like Romin. 🐈
TNVR makes a difference for our neighborhood and community by reducing the procreation of community cats. After a kitty is neutered, fighting and other annoyances will most likely cease. Community Kittens born under these conditions very seldom survive; and they suffer because they're little bodies cannot endure.
