I’m a relatively new fosterer for a major cat charity, I have 2 pens in the garden and I collected a long term stray 8 weeks ago.
He was being fed but had relatively little shelter for well over a year apparently.
He’s been tested for the infectious nasties and thankfully that was negative, so he’s been neutered and on put antibiotics for an infected toe for three weeks in total. However, it has not healed so he’s in to the vets tomorrow for a digit removal.
The situation has been made worse by the fact that we’ve all fallen for him, he is such a gentle boy and so very sad in the pen so we made a family decision to integrate him with our existing passive cat and two dogs which we did over the weekend.
He’s settled in immediately and is a real lap cat, so very happy and contented that it was obviously meant to be.
I’m now worried sick that following his toe removal and recovery it will be bad news about the biopsy results and I have opened myself and my family up to a world of pain.
We are so invested in this lad and i’m trying think that if it is bad news he'll have a happy pampered existence until that time comes but I’m struggling remain objective.
