damegreywulf:This is Black Kitty, who needs a forever home.Here is a video of him. (#feet cw) I’ll just copy the description:He needs a home, but he has medical needs.It’s obvious his eyes are awful, and you can see his fur is pretty poorly unkempt. It’s difficult for him to see. It’s not visible in the video, but he’s also scarily skinny, and he seems pretty weak: in the video you hear me apologize for making him stumble - he almost fell down the porch steps yesterday, and was shuddering pretty badly against the wind.I am unemployed and can’t take him in. I don’t have the means to feed him regularly and give him healthcare.Other things about him:– He is initially shy but warms up to people very quickly, and is very friendly and affectionate. In this video, he has rolled over for me for the first time, but he frequently follows me around when I’m outside.– He is willing to be inside. He comes inside often and I keep an eye on him. He seems to want to explore but gets distracted by trying to find food too.– He’s very shy and passive around other cats. I’ve seen him bullied out of food and shelter several times. I have yet to see him act aggressive at all, and he was even submissive to my cat, Sunshine (lowering himself and trying to hesitantly rub his head on her). – You can see his tail wagging a lot. Sometimes it is because of anxiety, so I give him a lot of reassurance. I think usually he’s just over-excited because he doesn’t get a lot of attention otherwise.– He is intact, as you may briefly see in the video. He hasn’t attempted to spray in my home, but I’ve been directing him away from objects. I don’t know what his scent-marking habits are like because of his lower status in the neighbourhood.– He bit me once when we first met. I tried to clean his eyes but they were worse than I thought, and I caused him enough pain that he screamed before biting. So he needs a professional to help him.– So far he’s not comfortable with being picked up and held. But, he has climbed into my lap. I pick him up a bit to move him around, and his front end seems very hard and stiff, which could just be tomcat hide, but his belly was tender enough for him to give a protesting meow. I’m sure once he gets the healthcare he needs, he will become comfortable with being held.I’ve sent a message to a rescue already in Mattoon, Illinois, and I’m waiting for their response. This video was made so I could show them and others what he is like.But if anyone is interested in him, I live in the central/southeastern Illinois area: Coles, Clark, Cumberland, Edgar, Jasper, Effingham counties, and I’m also willing to meet in Terre Haute, Indiana. Send me a message and we can talk.mostlycatsmostly fuckyeahfelines fuckyeahcats catsindoors petcareawareness Messages on Tumblr must be off anon. Boosts are appreciated. -- source link
