His name is Yodi and he's 17. Has hyperthyroid and on one med per day. I pick him up at the beginning of July. He's got a bit of meezer in him and his colouring is all different shades of grey. Gee, sounds like the book.....
Story is that at an advanced age, his human took him to the vet and his hyperthyroidism (sp?) was discovered. Human said put him to sleep and walked away. The vet surrendered him to the no-kill shelter and he's been there for months and months. He was adopted out once but was returned for bad behaviour. Duh!!! Stupid idiot decided to cut him off his thyroid medicine. Long story short, I've signed the papers and will become his long term foster Meowmie when I get back from Ottawa on July 2nd.
He hates other animals so he's now in a cage by himself. I just could not bare to think of him living out the remainder of his days there. It's a very well run shelter and kept really clean with wonderful volunteers, but he has to be in a cage because there is no other place to put him, especially since it's kitten season.
Oh yes and you should see his eyes light up when I mention the Catmobile and all the trips it takes.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

He's beautiful! Welcome to PT, Yodi! Cassie would love to have him join the Catmobile group! Bless you for giving him a wonderful home with no cage!
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!
"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

Oh, how wonderful! Yodi is gorgeous! Thank you SO much for adopting him. I can't wait to hear how things go when he comes home!
God bless you both.
Love from Pat and cats

I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
I also was thinking blue point Siamese when I got to the photo.
Anyway, CONGRATS Slick! Yodi does look like a nice fella. This should be interesting for BOTH of you, lol, I suspect Yodi has his OWN Routines, given his age, ha haa, and being C A T, he is going to expect the servant to fall into line!
So sad to learn he's been stuck in a cage for months and months. As an experienced Cat Owner, you know he may need some time to adjust to a room again, let alone a home. When I adopted my Cuddles 8 years ago (!) she had been at the shelter for 18 months. I put her in a room by herself (I had other cats here which you don't have) and opened the carrier door. She looked out a the large area, and backed in to the carrier again. It took about 3 weeks, as I recall, for her to feel comfortable in the room. So do leave the carrier available for a bit.
