Title: ONLY LIVED IN GARDEN 2O YRS
Post by: Ela on October 25, 2007, 18:12:53 PM: I have received a phone call to bring in a stray cat, I asked if they were sure it was a stray. I was told Oh! yes it has been living in the garden for 20 yrs.

I asked about the cats apparent health and the lady said it looked and acted fine, I did say if she though it needed to see a vet to contact me immediately.

I will bring it in as soon as we get a space. I have been think about it all night. No wonder the not so urgent cats on the list what to wait so long.

He must be very very old, I hope he will receive warm cozy TLC from someone loving at long last that is worth the lifetime. Bless him!!

That is what I asked a few times but never received an answer. The good news is hopefully it will be in care later today.
Of course that means another needy cat will have to wait a bit longer.
