Our break from fostering is taking a break. We have a 5-month-old kitten!
It looks like someone dumped him in the country, and it’s even harder than usual to see how someone could do that. He’s just a delight. He’s beautiful, sweet and affectionate, appears to be healthy, and has perfect litter box habits.
He doesn’t have a name yet [update – his name is Forrest!], but he’s a dark tabby with markings that look more like a Bengal cat than a normal tabby. He weighs just under five pounds.
This boy is so much fun to play with, but he’s also super snuggly and affectionate. His personality is outgoing, despite his recent scary adventures. I’m pretty sure he’ll find a home quickly, once he has been vetted and neutered.
Thank you to our friends Cathy and Bill, whose small farm north of Madison he appeared on. The farm is about 10 miles north of the north edge of Madison, so it’s a convenient distance for unscrupulous people to drive out and dump their unwanted cats. Cathy is the biggest-hearted person and has always tried to feed and care for every one. By now she is at capacity, so new arrivals are surrendered to 9 Lives Rescue, if there are openings, so they can find homes.
There are so many cats in our community that are at risk, whether abused, in hoarding situations, or dumped in the country like this guy. The work 9 Lives Rescue does is possible only because of people who want to help. If you’re one of those people, and wish to donate or volunteer, click here. Thank you!
