    FINALLY a good picture of my very special Skippy!!!

    This dear all black boy was born with half a front leg that I call his "clobber club" LOL. He was rescued years back, and within days had come down with severe pneumonia and was hospitalized for a few days. His eye was badly affected and had to be removed, but the miracle is he survived at all! Six weeks of force feedings, and fluid and he somehow survived. He had extensive dentistry done last Spring, so has only his wonderful and very long fangs left in his mouth. They make him look like a goofy black vampire kitty LOL! He is one of my absolute all time favorite kitties. Very affectionate. He loves to rub heads with me, and skips along after me everywhere I go. He is such a cutie.



    Can you believe these fangs?? He worries about me when I'm in the shower...thinks I'll go down the drain. He hangs outside the tub meowing until I get out. Sweet silly boy.

    I have to admit, I crack up everytime I see him! He is just incredibly adorable with those long teeth hanging out all the time, and that one golden eye gazing up at me. I have been trying for months now to get a picture that shows his purrsonality, and teeth. And he cracks me up when he goes to smack another cat with that stump of his. Poor guy...wish he knew it just isn't effective.

    Whenever I feel overwhelmed I will need to keep you in mind! Seems you come across all the "special" needs cats. We've been so fortunate, with the 100's of rescues we've done, we've never have come across a "special" needs cat. Skippy should've been called The Count!
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    VERY lucky! I live in a city, and surrounded by several others, and unfortunately too many irresponsible idiots who don't bother with spaying/neutering or even vaccinating their cats. I have managed to adopt out a few special needs kitties, but most everyone wants a perfect little kitten. So they end up turning me into mush with their perseverance, and determination...and I end up calling them keepers. How's "Count Skippula"?

    That also goes for us! We have taken care of so many cats by getting them fixed, finding homes, giving meds, and a supplying food and water daily (going on 5 years now)you name it...but we've been fortunate that they've all been fairly healthy, no disabilities, etc.

    I LOVE Count Skippula!

    I love the Count Skipular title and how approate with Holloween coming up. That is a really touching story too. It just amazes me what some of them go through and STILL survive. I would LOVE to meet him, he sounds like a real character, almost a clown. Makes the most of what he looks like, does he?....and afraid you will go down the drain, that is just the absolute cutiest thing I ever heard!

    Special Needs Pets just leave bigger imprints ♥ on your heart!

    Good Golly Miss Molly, look at those fangs. I thought my sons cat Fred had big fangs, but they are nothing compared to Skippy's. Definitely from the "Sabertooth Tiger" family, I would say.

    Jan, what a heartwarming story. Thank you for sharing this precious boy with us and especially for giving him such a caring and loving home.
