Can anyone help this guy? *UPDATE*

I have to take him back in a week to see how much he's improved. Provided I still have him of course.

That poor boy! Those pics just ripped my heart apart! The fact that he still made it over to you for your love and help, what courage he has.

But, question here, why WOULDN'T you still have him in a week?? Aren't you able to keep him confined inside??? He shouldn't be out in his condition. I do hope you are keeping him safe inside.

Jenn, I think this is what she meant. Hopefully, a great home can be found for him instead...though if this is a non-kill shelter, I think he'd be adopted in a heartbeat!

I had an offer from a Northern Indiana Rescue to take him but they are hours away.

DizzyWhiz, I thought of two reasons you might have named him Patton:

1. He's been through the wars and made it
2. He is real love bug who wants lots of PATTIN'!!

Can you set up a spot for him in your garage? With the blanket he now knows?

I don't know for sure if his deafness is permanent yet. I've only given him one dose of the ear mite stuff yet so maybe when the clear up, he'll get better.

And a complete change of subject. Found this pic of my shadow, Bear. The absolute apple of my eye. I know you shouldn't have favorites but I just can't help it. He loves me unconditionally. As opposed to my other 2 indoor cats who I sometimes suspect only love me cause I'm the supplier of food.

Aw, how sweet. He's lovin' you now. Is there any chance of keeping him yourself and making him an indoor cat? Hopefully, he just has a bad case of ear mites and that could be why he can't hear. But if not, it's too dangerous to keep him outdoors. A deaf cat can't hear a predator coming up behind him. My little Creamsicle is deaf and I shudder to think what would've happened to her if I hadn't found her and brought her indoors. Bear is an absolute beauty. I'll bet he could use a buddy to show the ropes to. Hint, hint.... Ya dun good!
