Almalfi-my new foster

[MULTICATMOM]

I ONCE HAD A TOM CAT W/ BALD EARS. HE WAS AN OLDER ORANGIE.

THAT CAT TALKS WITH THOSE EYES! I DON'T THINK YOU'LL HAVE HIM LONG. WHO COULD RESIST?? I COULDN'T... BETTER LOVE HIM QUICKLY! KISS HIM FOR ME

How handsome you are!

The Amalfi coast is a very beautiful region near Naples and as everyone knows the Italians there are rather ... extroverted... aka loud

So your name fits purrfect because you are incredibly handsome and so musical

Almalfi is still with me.

He is a special boy.

Here's his incredible, ongoing story.

He was checked out by the vet and scheduled for his dental.
Then we had a hurricane.
Everything was alright, so he went in for the dental, and Dr. sent him home due to coccidia. (he had perfect stool and not symptoms)
So, after 10 days of albon, we were ready for another try, but wait, husband and I were about to go on vacation for two weeks and I didn't want to leave him right after his dental. So dental postponed till Sept 27.
Then we had a hurricane.
We left and came back from vacation, only to find that Malfi had a leg problem. The cat sitters informed the rescue and they said he could wait till I could get there and take him to the vet.
He went to the vet, and his leg was infected. He wouldn't put any weight on it, and he had licked the fur off of it. Treatment with antibiotics and an antiseptic wash twice a day for a week.
Then we had a hurricane.

Malfi's leg got worse. Rescue ordered an Xray and his leg has three fractured bones in his foot. They gave me pain meds, but they turned poor Malfi into a non-eating kitty zombie.
He went back in for a splint and we suspended the pain med. He seems to be much happier now, with his big green peg leg.
He purrs and he eats. He even trys to get the pee pee in the box.

He LOVES it under the cover in the bed with me.

We've got a long road ahead of us, especially if the splint does not correct his leg.
And he still needs that dental.


Poor boy, please send up some prayers and songs for this guy, and that his forever family might reveal themselves to us soon.

Whata tale of that wonderful Meeser! I hope he heals perfectly and finally gets his dental before the next hurricane.
