    New foster, a Siamese!

    A Siamese boy was left at my vet's office. He was found as a stray. His approximate age is about 7 years old. He is extremely thin. And yet, he is a big cat. His frame is very long and tall. He just needs some meat on his bones.

    He is already neutered and front declawed and the vet thinks he has even had dental cleaning done recently (he is missing quite a few, but the others look good).

    He tested negative/negative and she sent blood work out. They needed a rescue to take him, and called me.

    So here he is....yet unnamed.

    Awww, what a cutie!
    I have a name suggestion. My grandma and aunt had a siamese named Radar, after the character on M*A*S*H. They also had one named Bluebelle, but since this is a male meezer...
    (and it's really okay if you don't use my suggestion, hee hee)

    I wish I was able to take in kitties needing foster care. One of these days!!!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Poor skinny baby.

    I would hate to think someone just dumped this poor baby out in the streets especially if they paid to get his teeth fixed.

    Maybe that's why he's so thin?

    Poor boy - he is much too thin. But a few days at your place will take care of that. Bless you.

    That first photo really shows how thin he is, especially at the rear end. Guess you just have to make sure he doesn't gobble everything at once! Maybe set him next to a slow eater and pray some of it rubs off each way???

    He is quite handsome and should be easy to place!

    What a handsome boy he is! And, yes, he could use a couple of pounds; poor guy, I wonder how long he was on his own?

    He's very lucky he's with you!

    He sure is a bit of a stringbean , but some Kitten Food and some tuna and salmon should put some much needed weight.
    Thats nice that you took the poor fellow in, and I know that Y.Lee and the Siamese Angels will pay a visit to help out and make your new foster feel at home.

    Jen, thank you for taking in this handsome Meezer boy.
    I like the name Slim Jim, I think it fits him.
    Have you contacted Siamese Rescue about him or do you plan to adopt him out with your One by One Cat Rescue?
    I bet Rosethecopycat will be able to help you since she fosters for Siamese Rescue.
    RIP sweet Samantha

    He sure is handsome but I agree he's way too thin. I'm sure you'll have him fattened up in no time.

    I agree, I like the name Slim Jim!
    Once he's not so skinny anymore you can then just call him Jim!
