He’s still at the vet. They neutered him last Thursday, the abscess is healing nicely…but he’s lonely. I just don’t know what to do. It’s costing me both in money and mental distress. I miss him at work all the time, but he can’t go back there as he comes inside the warehouse.
I’m beginning to think that turning him out in my back garden and hoping for the best is my only option. I hate that idea. I hate how people don’t take care of cats. It’s so frustrating to be full of love and full of hate at the same time.

He looks like he’s doing well. I’m with you, a pet is a commitment to be taken seriously. I hope that a loving furrever parent can be found soon.
He’ll be fine. Cats are quite resilient as you well know.
I’m responsible now, though. It’s a big thing to take on a life when you don’t know what to do and options are limited.
Don’t worry too much. If you want to put it into perspective, consider the cat’s options if you hadn’t taken on the responsibility?
He looks so much better. Have you thought of asking the Mayo SPCA – they may be able to find a nice home for him
I have, it’s kitten season right now and they are swamped. The vet office is helping, and some Facebook shares too. A friend is going to see him tomorrow and I really think it is a good match! We will see, I cannot afford to keep up the vet kennel fees 😦
Good luck with search:)
He’d be a whole lot better off in your garden if you can’t find someone to take him in.
I have a hopeful adoption option! Fingers crossed and everything else…
What a pretty little boy! What about building him a little house in the back garden, so he’ll have a place for bad weather and an anchor for territory? It might even be possible for the other critters to get used to him if he were outside at first. There’s the worry of whether or not he will take in that this is “home,” but regular food and attention might cement that in time for him to settle in, and it would be safer than the warehouse area.
I have hopeful interest from a friend in town – she is going to take the kids to go see him tomorrow at the doc’s office. Fingers and eyes crossed! My concern about bringing him home here is that he is very insistent and loud, and we have a rear sliding glass door that can’t be blocked off. Hollering needy lonely cat outside all hours is not going to make any of us happy, fur covered or not.
Oh I hope they like him. But you.musy get a video with audio of his loudness!
They are going to collect him tomorrow! And I get visitation rights! I am so happy, it is said “oh we will see” but I know damn well they won’t give up easily. Oh you have no idea what a relief this is!
He is such a cute looking boy. ❤
I’m sorry for yours and Iggy’s predicament. I know full well how hard it is, I wish I could save them all too. I hope someone near you will take and love him. My love to you both.
A friend in my town is going to get him tomorrow! It’s all based on how well he gets along with the family (two kids, one very young) and an option to return if it doesn’t work out. But I have very high hopes! They did meet him today and like him a lot, soooooo…. all my crossable parts are crossed!
Mine too 🤞🏻
