Pictures of Billy the FIV+ cat... *WARNING>>GRAPHIC*

I know I hardly ever get on anymore:( I am so busy and tied up in so many things, it is hard for me to get to my moms house to get on the internet. Im sorry:(

I dont know if anyone remembers this, but This is Billy, the FIV+ cat who was brought in, and was sentenced to die because of his FIV. Well Thanks to doolittleky and Carla and a WONDERFUL lady named Denise whom is willing to take Billy to her home in Florida, I am getting him treatment and his neuter should be done within the next week, and hopefully we can find a transport to get him from here in North Carolina to Florida. I can drive to maybe South Carolina if someone knows anything or anyone whom might help, PLEASE PM me or doolittleky and let us know.

But anyways, I wanted everyone to see him, to see what I see in him. Please say many prayers for him, so he can get better and to the loving home which he deserves.

He was attacked by either a raccoon or a dog or something...

WARNING!! GRAPHIC PICTURES BELOW!!! These do include wound pictures, so please be forewarned...

What a gorgeous guy!! Thank you so much for saving him!!

All I can offer now is prayers. I hope he gets to his new home safely.

:)

I see a beautiful boy. I'm glad he's going to live a good life! Poor guy, that doesn't look fun at all.

His pictures are just heartbreaking! Thank goodness you stepped in to help and all involved!

Hi Katie, glad to see you! Billy is such a beautiful cat. I love his colors. I feel awful for what has happened to him. But I can see how happy he is when you are giving him butt rubs.

P.S. I am sending you a pm.

Awww, what a cutie. :D Thank goodness his life was spared. He truly looks like a very lovable and bondable kitty, and I pray he gets the life he deserves. What a sweetheart!

I'm so glad that you saved him and I hope he has a safe journey to his new home.:) I was talking to Starr's foster tonight and she said that she had two FIV Siamese cats that lived until they were 16 and 18 years old. Hopefully Billy will also be able to live a long healthy and happy life.:)

Prayers for Billy.

I wish there was something I could do, but I am in NH. He is a beautiful boy and I am glad that he is going to be OK. I hope he can get transport to go to his new furrever home. Thank you for stepping in and helping him!

Oh my! Poor little guy. :( I'm so glad he's going to be ok.

That last picture says it all - wound or no wound I sure love those butt skritchies! :D

Katie,
I pm'd you. My friend in Georgia could have helped with the transport but she left for Germany for a month to visit relatives. I am trying to think of anyone else I know online that could possibly help. I know there are transport groups on Yahoo. I use to get alot of emails about transports. I will try and find a couple of the groups to see if maybe you can contact them to see if they could help out. I will let you know.

THANK YOU,FOR HELPING,THAT POOR BATTERED CAT,AND WE HOPE,THAT YOU CAN GET HIM HOME SAFELY,AND THAT THERE ARE NO COMPLICATIONS,WHAT A

HANDSOME FELLOW!

Katie,
Contact this person. I get emails from her in a group I belong to all the time about rescues and transports. She would probably be able to give you some transport people to contact that could help you out. Let me know what you find out and I will keep looking.

Prayers for Billy's recovery and transport to a new home! Poor guy sure didn't deserve that awful wound.

Give him a butt rub from me!

Here is another group you might contact.

I see a very handsome kitty longing for some attention and love. I pray that you are able to find him a home that he deserves.

When is his transport? Where is he headed?
I transport a lot of cats. I'm in the Orlando area.
Offering help.

He is a tough boy and he is longing for love. I am so glad that he will get it:)

oh poor little guy! hope that spot will go away really good soon.

I'm sorry I couldn't help but glad you're being there for this little guy!! ((gentle huggles))

Thank you all for the nice comments. :D Billy is such a sweetie, it is going to be hard to let him go to someone else:( BUt I know it will be for the best.

Rose, thank you so much for the offer. I might have him a transport already, but I am not positive.
He is in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He is going to Tampa Bay Florida.
The guy whom might take him from here to Florida said he can take him as far as Jacksonville. He needs to go to Tampa Bay. SO I need to talk to Denise (the women taking him) and see if she will meet at Jacksonville. I will contact you and let you know. Again, thank you so much for offering. It is so nice to know that so many people care about Billy, and his well being;)

Poor baby! I hope everything works out and he gets a wonderful home.

We found the best possible home he could ever have.Denise and her husband have 2 FIV cats that are well taken care of and loved to the max.Don't worry.I feel so very strongly about this super kind generous couple that have been family friends for many years.They are so kind.I hope they join pettalk so we can see pictures.If not I'll post pictures for them.I'm glad you worry.You and everyone here are the greatest people.Thanks.:D I hope his face is healing.Looks painful for the poor little guy.

OMG, that poor, poor kitty. I hope and pray that he heals well from his terrible injury.
I am so glad to hear that he will be adopted by a wonderful family. I hope and pray that he lives a long and happy life.

Bless you for helping Billy. You are a kind, caring and loving soul.

*bump*

Nothing even this graphic phases me much anymore, as I've seen most all by now. Dear Billy looks like he's had such a tough life, and it really makes me boil to know he knew love and the gentle caress of someone when he was cute and tiny. Someone sure 'got rid of' him. :mad: Probably the first time he whizzed on a wall he was kicked out to attempt survival on his own. I'm so happy Carla, Melissa and Katie stepped in to find him a forever home where once again he'll know love, and that he didn't die alone like too many do. I can sure see the beauty in his forlorn eyes. :( If I knew of transport help, I'd be adding that on as well, but I'm in Mass. Please give Billy some extra butt scritchies for me, and some catnip too. :)
