Felix

Felix is another one that took a village to save.  He came to us from another rescue.  

Here is the email that they (the rescue) recieved from the person that had the cat.

I copied and pasted the info that I gave you via facebook below. Hope its enough because its all that I have. I never took him to the vet due to financial problems. We gave him penicillin shots for ten days and cleaned him up. Do you know anybody who wants a blind cat? We found him laying in the road on christmas just as it started snowing.. we picked him up so he wouldnt suffer in the snow. We didnt think he would make it through the night...He lost part of his bottom jaw and his sight, but a month later he is still living in my bathroom. He his very sweet and is very appreciative. He uses the litter box and eats wet food but you have to tap on the side of the bowl so he can hear it to find the bowl. I do not have the time for him, and I already have too many pets..Can you please find someone to take him?     Thanks so much! I really dont have any more info than that..Hes not fixed...but i think that he could adapt to a home really well. He sas adapted to our bathroom and knows where the litter box is and where he gets fed..We locked up all of o ... ur cats and dogs and let him out a couple of times...and he did okay. He liked to stay by our feet as we sat on the couch..He loves to be petted and talked to you..he mows back like hes talking back. Ill get some pics to you soon and i will email this to you as well! Thanks a million for looking around for me...because i can barely find homes for kittens let alone a disabled kitty. Oh yeah i looks to be a couple years old.

Now, the story takes a new turn,  Here is the next email:

Sorry it has been a week or so since I have written to you..........the story on the blind kitty has taken a bit of a turn.

I spoke with the gal from SC that rescued the cat last week.  She said that she thinks the kitty had been "hit" and that might be why it is blind.  I started asking her a lot of questions about the kitty and found out a lot more than she had told me in the first place.  I wanted to investigate further and weigh out the vetting costs, etc., before bringing it to you.

She told me that the cat is very sweet, eats fine, poops fine and seems perfectly normal...........but!  He is "missing" part of his jaw where he was supposedly "hit" by a car (or at least, this is what she is thinking must have happened to him).  With this information, I knew I might be facing more than just a combo test, neuter and shots bill!

I called my vet and I am taking the cat in tomorrow for an exam, xrays, neuter, combo test, shots, etc.  I will de-flea it and de-worm it.  If xrays check out ok, and I get all of this done, and cat seems normal (except for a possible deformed jaw), would you still be willing to take it, as you told me last week, if we transport it up to you???

I understand either way......I just feel so sorry for the little guy!
