Our latest rescue cat (Chinchilla) *UPDATE*

[critter crazy]

WOW!! I am glad you found his owners, but what kind of a person allows a cat with a tumor, poor health and memory loss to just wander off??? That just makes me mad! I just cant believe it! I m glad that you were able to get him back on his feet! not sure how long that will last if his owners just let him run off again. You have a very generous heart! Smokey will remember his savior, I am sure!

I've missed this thread but I just wanted to say how wonderful it was that you took him in and did so much for him. It's great that his owners were found but I really hope someone pointed out to them that he shouldn't be allowed to roam anymore, poor old guy.

I know it's been explained but I just wanted to chime in on what Laura's Babies said, as I started reading this thread I too was thinking how sad that this cat might die after finally being rescued into a good home. I wasn't thinking that you were the cause, just that it was a shame now that he had a good chance he wasn't strong enough to make it and enjoy life with you.

Anyway, kudos to you and your mom for helping him! We need more people like that in the world!

I agree.

My vet didn't even let me consider not removing Spunky's tumor. She did it at reduced cost rather than let him suffer. I would have found the resources anyway. I wonder if the vet can contact the owners and ask if they would let him go to another home. He didn't get skinny and matted over a few days.

It never hurts to ask.

I am glad he got to be reunited (but I must admit quite a bot of thinking that he'll be out roaming again tomorrow )

Best of luck to you Smokey!

You deserve lots of praise for what you did!! However, the " owner " needs to rethink that old Smokey roams and does not come home for a few days, considering his condition!!! I a way, I was hoping that you would be able to keep the cat!!! I hope Smokey's owner will act in a more responsible fashion!

I"m glad you have found out the story on this amazing cat!
You're incredibly kind, for what you have done!

Those So Called Guardians should have thier heads read for letting that poor Old Cat run free.
Thats absolutely awful to have a Cat that long, and not care for him.
AWFUL!
I would never have returned Smokey, I would have kept him where he would be safe.
