Got a call from Linda and so far it is good news . The vet said he seems very healthy. His abscess is healing up nicely but he put him on anti-biotics for safe measures. Had his shots and blood test taken to check for any nasty diseases. Linda will call monday for the results. Until she gets the results she will keep him seperated from her cat. She said he was such a good little kitty at the vets.
As for his previous so call owner, if she should happen to approach me in regards to where her cat is, I will just tell her that maybe he didn't like his old life and went to find a new one where he will be properly taken care of, and leave it at that.

Rosethecopycat, I would love for you guys to see a picture of him, but unfortunately I don't have a scanner right now, but plan on getting one in the near future. Then watch out!
Pictures galore. LOL.

Thank you again for all your support and kind words.
I will let you know monday the results of his blood tests.
She hasn't come up with a name for him yet, any suggestions?
