Melissa, do you know what the story is on his strange name? I notice it is "chain" spelled backwards.

God bless him and you too.

Here is the quick run down on what the vet told me:

He has a skin infection (the wound on his paw/leg is from a skin infection), ear mites, round worms, upper respiratory infection (URI), and eye infection. He tested negative for FIV/FELV!

My vet gave him a dose of revolution, de-wormer, eye drops, and a Convenia shot (which will help with the respiratory infection and the skin infection).

The vet also checked his blood work and all of his levels are normal which is wonderful. The vet said she would prefer to fix him in about 2 weeks since he has an upper respiratory infection and she preferred that he stay at the rescue until he can be fixed so that my cats don't get sick.

I called the rescue and told them all this and they said they must not of made it clear to me last night but they can't take in any cat that is sick. The cat needs to be fixed and healthy in order to go to their rescue.

So I called my vet and told them this and asked if they wanted to call the rescue to see if that might help and they said they didn't want to ruin their good working relationship with the rescue and that as long as I keep him confined for 2 weeks until he needs to be fixed that should be fine.

Niahc will be coming home with me after I get off work and hopefully he's behaving himself.

I'm sure he is though. After he is fixed in 2 weeks and the vet says he's healthy the rescue will take him in then.

Thank you all for the prays for this older guy.

Oh poor guy,overall though this is good news, they are all ailments that can be fixed with treatment, he must be feeling under the weather though, thank goodness he is with you, I hope with all my heart he makes a good recovery and soon is well enough to be fixed and sent to the shelter to hopefully find his loving furever home, good luck with it all, thinking of you, hope you are doing ok as well.

Love, Columbine

Cats everywhere are sending up prayers for both you and Niahc. They are applauding your efforts to help kitties in need!

Here are some pictures, these were taken from last night, he didn't like to be stuck in the cage and he banged his head and got a sore because he wanted out so we left him out and he did semi ok last night, he cried and wanted attention and he did have an accident on the floor but that happens.

But tonight he made the biggest improvement, he used the litter box!!

I was so excited, I figured that since he didn't use it last night we might have a problem on our hand but nope he pooped and peed in it tonight!

He's eating so well and doing so well. He's a sweet boy and we are hoping the inflammation will settle soon and he will be able to see better.

Thank you all for the prays.

I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers. I hope he'll recover quickly and that the rest of your cats won't catch anything from him. Bless you for taking him in.
