    Is this Pickles James?!

    I'm always spying on Fort Wayne's animal shelter to see who's there. There is a lost cat named Pickles there right now... do you think it's our former guy?

    Please, only judge the pictures, and not why we got rid of him.

    It tears me up soooo much to think he's in the shelter AGAIN! I feel so bad for the poor guy!

    Sure looks like the same cat to me...but I'm confuzzled by the story? Is he one you found, and surrendered? The markings are identical all over his face...right down to the hint of orange smudging around his jaw.

    Pickles was adopted as a juvenile, and started spraying the next spring. We tried Feliway, enzymes, and finally kitty-prozac, but nothing stopped him. In retrospect, I think it was our little critters upsetting him. We tried for four months to get him to stop. He even sprayed gifts from Gary (catmandu) as soon as I opened them.

    *edit* Just wanted to add that once Pickles settled in at the animal shelter, he stopped spraying. This is what leads me to believe our mice/birds were causing his upset.

    It certainly looks like the same Cat ,and we are Praying that he can find a Furr Ever Home where he can be the Only Cat,and where he wont spray.
    That must have been very hard to give up on that Little Face.

    Oh Gary, it still makes me so sad. I'm crying right now thinking about how he doesn't have a warm bed to sleep in with humans to give him scritches! I wish we could have figured out what was making him upset!

    What finally made us take him in was a vet saying that once an animal starts spraying in a location they may never stop. He was such an unhappy kitty after this started.

    It is definitely Pickles! Those nose smudges...

    Maybe there is a PTer who could foster him?

    Do you still have the critters? I guess...this was pretty recent...

    I wonder why they post him as a 'lost' boy?

    Aww...I feel so bad for BOTH of you...maybe send this pic to friends of yours who could use an orangy boy!

    Yes the coloring and the markings are similar, but the picture you posted, Pickles eyes are clearly a copper/orange color and the shelter one clearly has green/yellow eyes. So from that, my guess is that they are not one of the same. Just my opinion.

    It does look like Pickles with the exception of the eye color- could different lightening/flash make the eye color look different?

    sirrahved - You could do what I have done with Roman(see my thread on Poor Roman): I took the link, as you did, and emailed it to friends who might know someone who could take him.

    Cat people know other cat people - heck, pet people in general!

    You might tell them that he would do best being an only cat.

    Give it a shot, if you want - sure can't hurt!
