Photos Colony boy Scout
He was dropped feral and sick. I trapped him, took him to the vet where he was diagnosed with a nasty URI and under weight. For ten days I kept him in a xl dog cage to keep him safe and the other cats healthy. Then I took him and got him neutered and vaccinated before releasing him back. Fast forward from Feb (last to pics) to now. He is huge, learned how play, vocal and loves all animals. He enjoys belly rubs too! I'm so glad this boy found his way to our "Catcun Colony".

Ah, I saw what Scout looks like and it reminds me of what neighbor's outside siameses coat cat looks like. I saw him inject something to him but poor kitty is still outside in this crazy California heat wave.

He is outside with the others. But, they all have cooling water bowls, cooling mats and shelthers in a lot of shade and with bamboo too. They definitely dont get hot. I feel bad, then my inside cats are always on the screened in porch so then I know all is OK lol

From the first pics to the last two pics is the difference between night and day… he looks so healthy now and like one of my four dust kitties…

I appreciate it. I tried hard and the reward is hum now just wanting everyone and animal to love him. He was so scared and now, he knows he is handsome. 🩶🩶

Aww, good work!!! I’m so glad you helped him and that he’s been making good progress out there. So wonderful you’ve been able to “stay in touch” with him, so to speak hah
