The good news is that there not that much wrong with him! He had a bad case of mites, which left his skin rashy (and must have been awful for him), and the bald patch was all that remained of a wound that had abscessed and healed. (Amazing – that alone can kill a feral cat.) So he’s been through the wringer, but is now on the mend! The bad news is that he is FIV+, which means I can’t in good conscience release him back to the ravine. Oy.<\/p>\n

Oddly, FIV+ seems kind of minor, compared to the last two cats I trapped: Big Mike (life-threatening leg wounds that took six months to heal) and Ginger Rogers (terminal mouth cancer.) So I held my breath during his appointment, for fear he would also have something terrible and long-term. Thanks for the break, Saint Francis! Now I just need to figure out what to do with this sweet boy once he is back to health. This inn is FULL.<\/p>\n

Here he is just now, sleeping like a stone on his new plush pad. I feel bad he’s been so worked over in recent days, but know it’s the first block in building his better future.<\/p>\n
