For the last few weeks I've been mithered to death about taking on a grey/white stray that's been roaming the area. He was being fed by a few people but with winter coming up, a lady was getting a little concerned about where he'd sleep. He is about 5 years old and unneutered but certainly a well fed chunky lad :Luv: :Luv: I was a bit loathed to take him initially due to lack of space being one but also the fact a few peeps thought he did have an owner. Anyway, it turns out after a few days of enquiries, he's been a stray from a kitten and has just got food where he can and also fathered a few litters along the way. I caught him yesterday, he is quite friendly but also a little nervous which is to be expected. He's in the vets this morning for a nut chop, jabs and microchipping. I will take some piccies of him later when he's recovered.

Aw, sounds like a darlin', glad you've caught him, and hopefully this Winter he'll have a lovely warm lap to curl up on :Luv:
-
Pleased your still living up to your name DD - As the nut chopper :evillaugh:
What a shame - stray since he was a kitten how awful for him. I hope he finds the warm loving home he deserves.
:hug: to you & smokey boy
-
Love to see some pictures and obviously is a survivor ;D
-
Here's some piccies of the gorgeous little man :Luv: :Luv: He was a little bit of a grump in the vets this morning but I'm sure he'll settle down. He's got a cauliflower ear but I think this adds to his character. The vet nurse has suggested getting an FIV test on him as she said they tend to have a paler appearance than "normal" cats and she thinks he has the look :-: He'll be getting tested when he's a little more settled.
This little man also needs a nice name so can you get your thinking caps on please ;)
-
Oh how handsome and as you know I just love blue cats ;D
-
He certainly is a handsome dude, I just hope his grumpiness will fade after some tlc ;)
-
He's gorgeous, I think he's a handsome Harvey :Luv: Or Bandit, don't know why, but its a cool name :shy:
-
I was thinking Bandit as in Smokey and the. :Luv:
He is such a handsome boy, absolutley GORGEOUS.
Ollie
Osca
Solo -as he lived alone for so long

That must be what I was thinking as well, being grey/smoke/blue in colour ........ not gonna start that off again :evillaugh:

Ah bless he is sooooo sweet -
but does he "have" to be tested and then subjected to a life indoors ?
-
:Luv: :Luv: montgomery <sp?> came to mind
-
I think Benedict is a lovely dignified name and suits him quite well. :)

I don't normally test them for FIV/FeLV unless I am concerned or they are ill, the fact the vet nurse has mentioned it, I think for peace of mind I'll get him done. I would point out that I've had quite a few tested over the years and Lucas is the only one I've had in that tested positive and regardless of the outcome, he will be found a fab home :Luv:
-
Aww, he is gorgeous, I am sure he will be snapped up quickly.

I've been to do a homecheck today at some stables, the lady has 3 cats already and was after another 2 or 3 to keep the rodent problem under control. There's plenty of land, barns and stables for them to explore in which is perfect. She's having a couple of semi ferals off me, possibly more when they've settled and she's fallen in love with this little lad as well ;D He will be going to his new home tomorrow and then I'll have to sort out the ferals for her :) I mentioned about Abigail as well and she wants me to let her know when she's had her babies as she's wants a couple of indoor kitties as well :yes:
-
So he will be getting an outdoor home after all ?
-
He'll be indoor/outdoor, the ferals will be mainly outdoor but they're quite happy for them to venture inside if that's what they want.
-
Excellent news, and glad some of the ferals have got homes too.
-
This gorgeous boy has now gone to his new home. His new "daddy" hadn't actually met him til today and he's absolutely smitten :Luv: :Luv: He said he is the spit of another they had a few years ago called Sky and he's sure he'll be able to get lots of cuddles out of him and of course some cat talk :evillaugh: I'm sooo chuffed for him, he is such a darling and deserves to have somewhere he can call home at long last :)
-
That is wonderful news Dawn.

Wonderful ;D
