I picked Beau up tonight. One of the shelter staff decided to pay for his vet appointment rather than waiting for the next vet visit to the shelter. That wouldn't be til Tuesday and they didn't want the old boy there for that long!
This was taken this afternoon when I first met him. He loves head scritches.
When I put him back in his cage--this face just about broke my heart. He did not want to go back in there!
He is a niphead! He was very happy to get some fresh nip!
Indulging in some nip.
A self-portrait! Ignore my hair please, I forgot I had my sunglasses on my head! Beau likes to be held. He's full of big purrs and headbonks!
Handsome boy, looking out the window. Don't ya just love those whiskers??
Beau seems to be a pretty laid back boy. He actually slept all the way home. I've never had a cat take a nap in their carrier before! The vet estimates he's 13 at least. They a basic urine test today and it appears he has early stage kidney failure. I'll take him in soon for blood tests to get a more accurate picture. He is supposed to eat low kidney food as much as possible. He wolfed down some of the canned formula. He's used a scratching post and the litter box. He's even played a little bit--I think that was the nip! He needs his nails trimmed desperately! I'll be doing that later tonight!
I think he's going to fit in just fine! The other cats aren't even hanging around outside the door to this room! He's stolen my heart already!
