Male Cat, Domestic Short Hair
Domestic Short Hair / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
Click on Newby's photo to see what makes him "special."Newby is a mystery to those of us who know him. He showed up one day at a CARE feral feeding site already neutered and with a tipped ear, which is the universal symbol of a neutered community cat. He was friendly and outgoing. Did he hitch a ride in someone's van or truck and hop off when he arrived? Or did someone leave him there? Before we could get Newby into foster care someone shot him three times. Fortunately we found him before he succumbed to sepsis and were able to get him immediate emergency treatment. He lost his rear leg and got stitches in his side and within weeks Newby was making a full recovery. He can be little shy around strangers, but once he warms up he is a cuddler. He navigates remarkably well and does fine on steps. He, like most cats, has been remarkable at adapting to disability. Newby is negative for FIV and FeLv, up to date on vaccinations including rabies and microchipped.
