Default Purrs for a stray

My elderly neighbour has been feeding a stray tabby cat for the last two
months, I'd never seen this cat untill today. She'd told me a couple of
weeks ago that he had a lump on the side of his face, this was a nasty
abcess, which burst today. The lady managed to catch him and get him in
a carrier and I've just taken him to the vet. TED will put him on
antibiotics tonight and operate on his abcess tomorrow. He also has a
very large tick on top of his head. When he recovers from his abcess he
will be neautered. Where he lives in the end I don't know, he seems to
get on OK with my neighbours cat so he'll probably live there, I don't
think Snoopy would accept another cat unfortunately, otherwise I'd love
to take him in, he is a beautiful cat apart from his injury.

Lots of purrs for the cat to recover soon from his injuries, and for him
to have a new home at your neighbour's.

Awww... poor baby! Lots of purrs for his prompt recovery and lots of
purrs for you to care for him.

Don't know, just jumping in here... Most of the time if it's an abscess
it's because of a fight with another cat. Being an un-neutered tom I'd say
that's likely.

Purrs on the way for the sweet stray. Since your neighbor is partial to
him, maybe he won't be a stray for long!

ALL non-breeding (meaning nearly ALL) cats must be neutered or spayed.
It's amazing to me how often it is that non-feral tom cats are very
docile and affectionate with people. Lacking totally in aggression.

Awwww...I hope he's FeLV and FIV negative. So many of the stray Toms
come up positive.


Purrs to the poor little guy!
