You have been given the here and now and all you are surrounded with. Use it. Use it to its full potential to do what you think is right, or you have just wasted another precious gift.
We aren't sure what his name is! His file didn't contain one, but he has one considering he is 4-5 years old. So, I call his all sorts of different cat names (Kitty, Sam, Joe, Little John, Max, etc.) just to see if he will respond to one, but no such luck yet.
His file states that he had an owner up until a little while ago; he was given to someone as a gift, but an eventually unwanted gift so he was turned into the SPCA. Want to know something else that's awful? They cut all his claws off first!! Never de-claw your cats people, it's a sick thing to do! Do you know that de-clawing is the equivalent to cutting off someone's fingers at the last kink before the nail? Would you like that? Your dexterity would be awful and so would trying to scratch an itch! Besides being excruciatingly painful, this results in a defenseless cat against predators (whether it be other animals on the street, playmates in the house, or kids trying to kill it). Kids heal from scratches I'm sure. I can't believe that these people declawed *all* of his toes, even his back ones - this leaves him with no way to scratch an itch!!! That would not be fun.
So, anywho, a few weeks ago this cat was sitting at the SPCA adoption room and someone came along and adopted him. That's nice, right? Then he came down with an eye infection and, because he was still under the 30 health-warranty (yeah, seriously!) instead of visiting the free vet they just dumped him back at the SPCA and said they didn't want him anymore. What the heck!?!
So, this guy is getting over his eye infection that killed his chance at a permanent home. Which, actually is probably for the better considering they didn't want him so easily. Soon he will, yet again, be returned to the SPCA. Poor guy will think he wasn't wanted here either!
So, to anyone in Montreal that happened to fall upon this site, we are fostering an amazing adult cat who's litter trained, very social but not overwhelmingly cuddly. He can't live with other animals or small children due to his lack of natural self-defense, but he makes an amazing companion. One thing you do need to know though is that he is HUGE!
