This one looks a lot like my Beast when I first saw him, although in much better shape.
I used to volunteer at the local animal shelter. I still help out there when I can, although I no longer have time to do it on a regular basis.
A tiny black kitten was brought in by a good Samaritan. It had been hit by a car.
The veterinarian was going to euthanize him, but I said that I would pay for his medical care. There was just something about him.
He lived and has thrived. His neck tilts a little to the left side. His meow is more a "meeyargle," and hearing him when he gets pissed off at something outside is a fascinating experience. He drools a bit. But he is happy and I'm glad that I saved him.
I'm so grateful for our cats' caregiver, who will be staying with them over the next couple of days. Mom lives just far enough away that it's a pain in the ass to drive back and forth on a daily basis, although it could be done. I just don't feel right about leaving a special needs cat in a situation where the caregiver comes in and out. Susan is able to stay overnight, and we are SO GLAD we found her!
