Copied to here from Sharon's post...............
We took Milo in about two month ago, after being picked up by a member of the public and taken to the vets, suspecting he had been involved in a RTA.. It turned out the Milo had no injuries at all, but was very confused and it became very obvious that he was blind in one eye..
Milo was unwanted and would probably of been put to sleep had we not agreed to take him on...
Milo is a senior puss of unknown years, he is black all over with a few grey hairs in there for good measure, and has obviously had a bit of a hard time.. He is blind in one eye but can see out of the other a little. Due to Milo"s extreme age is has a problem finding the litter tray unless he has some guidance, he therefore needs to be rehomed to a home where he can safely potter around an enclosed garden or somewhere where it would be easy to clean up should he miss his tray... This may sound all abit to much for most people and we have no doubt he is going to be a very difficult cat to rehome.. But Milo"s saving grace is his personality, he can literally love you to bits.. having been starved of affection for so long he dots over anyone and anything that gives him just one kind hand of affection..
Milo sleep alot and doesn"t really play, he loves sitting in the sunshine and watching the grass grow....having reduced sight his smell sense if finally tuned. However, you still have to poke food under his nose to remind him every now again where his food bowl is. We realise Milo" age is against him and he may not have many more years in him, but who knows........At least he has been given a chance of some TLC and affection rather then ending his days on the streets..
Any dedicated animal lover who has a particular affection to a golden oldie, then Milo fits your bill...
At the moment we have built Milo an ouside run where he can sit and ponder, he has shelter at night and lovely warm blankets, but this isn't going to be such a great idea when our cold days come along...
If you want to know abit more abit him, then PLEASE give us a ring (See web site for numbers http://www.canterburycatsprotection.org.uk ) or email canterburycats@btinternet.com and we will do our best to answer any queries you may have....
We all get old eventually, its just a shame that in Milo"s case he may never get to loving home unless someone can look past his age and his problems, and see a loving loyal cat.
Thanks Canterbury Cats Protection.

I was going to email Tan direct, but here so you all know.. Milo very unexpectly was poorly last night and was taken to the vets. He was bleeding internally and was very poorly, tried to stabalise him but nothing could be done and he was sadly put to sleep this morning.. We are very sad as poor Milo was "saved" only a few months ago and i had hoped to get him into a home before his time was up, but it wasnt meant to be...
We are all abit upset but at least he had some affection from our fosterers while in our care. not quite like a loving home but better then nothing..
RIP our senior Milo!

RIP sweetheart.
I'm sure Milo knew he was loved and was looked after even if it wasn't a forever home.
Play at the bridge, between naps Milo

Am so sorry to hear this, but at least he came into your care, and had love from people for the last few months, and was able to go peacefully and painlessly, it could have been so much worse for him. RIP little one.
