He looks like my first cat Deano. Loved him. Deano was killed in an RTA  :(

Yes Gill he's on Metacam for pain relief.  He's such a loveable wee fella just feeling bewildered - can't believe that no-one has claimed him this far as he is such a sweetie.  He definitely going to be a favourite I think :)

He's enjoyed big petts and chin rubs - purr'd his wee heart out just having a bit of bother getting him to eat properly but its still early days and we are trying to keep him on sloppy foods as his stools earlier today were rock solid and dry.  Thankfully we have a few options for him to work his way through but he has drunk some cat milk tonight so that's good - not great but its a start!

thanks guys.  He is resting peacefully today though still very sore I think.  He's not moved much today and not eaten very much this morning.

Letting him rest and settle in for now - poor wee man just looks so forlorn :(

Very handsome but looks very wary which is not suprising,

I hope his cage rest goes well and he comes out the otherside to a fab new home  :hug: :hug: :hug:

New Arrival @ The Harbour - Big Ginger Boy due to RTA
« Reply #1 on: February 22, 2011, 17:06:52 PM »
Well despite trying very hard to get numbers down we received a call for help from a local vet after nowhere would take this wee fella - we had to - couldn't leave him without a 'home'.    :naughty:

Hit by a car around 3weeks ago and brought to the vets after being found lying at the side of the road he has spent the last couple of weeks at the vets.  He has now arrived at the Harbour this afternoon to continue his aftercare with a view to finding him a new home when he is ready.

He still has at least another 6 weeks cage rest to go and is still very wobbly. He has a fractured pelvis and has had a few problems with the toilet due to swelling and bruising internally which we will monitor closely.

He is a very handsome boy but has apparently lost a lot of weight since his arrival at the vets so will be looking to try and build him back up to full strength slowly.

He looks terrified and so lost bless him.  While we care for him we will be trying to locate any potential owner as the vets have thus far been unsuccessful.

Isn't he handsome???   :Luv2:  (not that we're biased or anything when it comes to ginger toms!)
