Jonah (although his chart says he's a neutered male named Susanna ) , was brought into my work on Sept 4 to be euthanized. When I saw how young he was, I asked his owner why he was being put down. He took me outside and said "SHE, sprays in our house and we're sick of paying to replace everything." (They must have thought he was a girl!)

When I looked at the chart, I saw that all the other animals in their household had only been in for vaccines and all seemed to be euthanized for stupid reasons, at about the same age Jonah is. (The last cat was vicious at age 4...hmmmm...wonder why!!!)

I asked the vet that was there if I could take Jonah and find him a home. The vet said I could, just as long as I called and got permission from the owner.

I did...played the game of "oh yes, I understand, its hard to deal with that sort of thing" through clinched teeth just so she's say yes. She was all concerned some rescue group would call her and give her a hard time! Idiot...this was expressed AFTER she said she tried 'so hard' to find HER a home.

Any, to make this shorter now, he's much happier at my apartment. He wasn't eating on his own until I was encouraging him on Sunday afternoon.

As far as deafness, I just assumed he was on that side because of his eyecolor. The vet said it'd be hard to tell with him being 4 already. I guess they adapt pretty quickly.

I'll post pictures of a newly groomed and examined little boy tonight!
