ENDANGERED--incont. cat, NJ

He had a pellet in or near his spine, which apparently shifted and is now aggravating the nerve/s to his bladder.

They're keeping him in a tiled bathroom, but "he's damaging the tiles."

Whoever THEY is, can they not get a cheap tarp to put over the tiles? weigh it down with rocks in the corners if they have to!

"They" are the "adopters," and I understand they don't want to mess with poor Sherbet at all. They want him gone ASAP. I'm sure they could get a tarp, but I'm more sure they won't.

Is there a posibility that the pellet can be removed.

GILL - the answer is in part of the post on HP:

A sweet, sweet boy was driven from CA to NJ for a new home. En route, somehow a pellet he was toting moved (guessing here), allowing "pee to just run out of him." He currently living in a bathroom but is in dire need of another, less lonely circumstance, along with possible testing and/or surgery. At this point, it's almost anybody's guess what's going on, but he must be a real cutie to have put up with SO much. Can anybody foster on an emergency basis? The people that took him don't want him.

I don't think the adopters would want to pay for any surgery...this little guy is "ruining the tiles" in their bathroom.

You got it--they want him GONE. We're trying to find a safe place for him to go, then maybe the pellet can come out, or whatever. Whatever happened supposedly happened during the trip, and I can only figure that the pellet moved just enough...

Edits didn't stick, but I just wanted to say that I fear greatly for this sweet boy's life. He'd last about 10 minutes at AC, and I don't think there's been any response from vets who were emailed yesterday re: boarding him for a little while.

If I had the money and the "drive gene" I'd be sorely tempted for Ari & I to just go up yonder and get him!!!!

Damaging the tiles??

The people are damaging him - someone has to have a heart to take this poor fellow to a home, even if he leaks because of his own problems. He can get aided if someone helps this poor boy.

I hope he's alright and someone will take him to a home soon. So sorry to hear this.

P.S, for 'damaging the tiles' - it doesn't matter what he damages. He is damaged. -_-

They certainly DID damage him. GILL brought him most of the way a week ago today, and Monday I took Koi in and got confirmation he had a UTI, crystals, mites, fleas, and his curled up foot was infected. At long last, the UTI is MUCH better, and the last 2 nights he's peed in his adapted litterbox.

He runs amok during the day, and even found his way downstairs yesterday!! He'd never done stairs before.
