He was young when we first found him- I know we didn't neuter Mario for a little while, until he was of age. Luigi is maybe 2 years old, was a just-grown kitten when he first showed up as a stray. Could be why he wasn't neutered. They know he has FIV from the posting too, and people were turned off by that when he was our foster. But these people weren't, or they didn't SEE the obvious "special needs" and mentioning of FIV in the post.
When it rains it pours. My mom has had it real rough lately, and this is very stressful. We are having him scanned in a little less than an hour. Quick scan right over his fur to see if he is microchipped. Even though it's standard to check for a microchip when someone brings a stray in, I'm not sure if they did. And they aren't, which kind of makes me angry. I feel like they should KNOW if they did. And I was just downstairs hugging the cat. Feel kind of sick about it, he can tell I'm stressed too, so I'm trying not to be. I read to him for a little while, which I do with my pets sometimes. Weird reader-affection thing, ha.
If he is someone else's cat, I know the panic in a pet getting loose- we would give him back. But if this cat isn't microchipped like the guy claims, I'm telling him point blank, "This isn't your cat". He argues, then he is blocked on the phone. Simple as that. He gave me an important tidbit about the missing cat, and if Louie doesn't fit it, no way I'm chancing that he doesn't belong to them! Don't want some psycho stealing my cat. And he is definately OFF of Petfinder after this!!! No matter the result I guess...
