One evening in May 2006 when I was going out I saw a little cat sitting in the middle of the road just a few houses down from us. I stopped the car and went up to him and he came to greet me. I had never seen this cat before and when I came closer to him I could see that he was extremely skinny and really looked like a homeless cat. I picked him up and saw to my horror that he was declawed on all four paws! This was a cat that should not be roaming around so I just jumped in the car with him on my lap and drove back home and told my husband that we got a new cat, our fourth! I could see that he was in bad shape and his coat was very matted, he had probably been out for a long time.

Hi there! I had been out on the streets for a while and it was very hard to find food and shelter so I was very skinny when I was picked up and brought to a house. I got food, water and a warm bed to sleep in and they brushed my coat so all of my mats disappeared. The next day they took me to the vet and I had upper respiratory inflammation, whipworms and most likely flees. I had to stay on a screened porch all by myself for the first ten days before I could meet my siblings. It was in late May so the weather was warm and nice and I was very comfortable. When I finally got to meet my new "siblings" I was scared and hissed and growled a lot to show them who I am. But after a while I saw that they were friendly so I decided to be friendly too.

About a month later they took me to the vet again and now they found that my urine is very diluted and they also found out that my kidneys do not work very well. I'm an old guy, probably around 10 years so some ailments can be expected.
