CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!!! Romeo Traps Me By Rolling On My Shoes! (VIDEO)

Okay... How to explain this?

When Romeo came in, he was so high-strung and all over the place we didn't know if he was feral or just traumatized from being dumped into the colony we found him in.

It was neither.

As it turns out, Romeo was most likely abandoned and was just so happy to be back inside with people he went crazy every time you pet him or tried to leave because he didn't want you to stop petting him or to leave!

One method he used to get you to stay with him was rolling on your shoes so wildly that you were trapped and couldn't go anywhere.

It was both heartbreaking and adorable.

Here is a video of him trapping me – and my dirty shoes! – in the shelter when I was about to leave... Watch, and you'll see what I mean...

FERAL INCOMING!!!! Handsome Tuxedo Boy With A Terribly Damaged Foot Recuperating With Us (#654)

Hey all,

This is Romeo, who was trapped outside a high-class pizza joint in Riverhead last week.

There is a small colony that resides at the restaurant that the owners usually take care of, but Romeo was new to the entourage and, as such, was unfixed.

That was the least of the problems.

From what we can tell, it looks as though a car ran over the poor man's right foot and left him in rough shape.

If you look at the above picture, you can make out the discoloration of the foot he is not putting weight on.

He has been to the vet, who gave him a powerful antibiotic and examined the foot while he was under anesthesia when he was being neutered.

The wound appears to be 7-10 days old and healing already.

Romeo also seems to have a problem with his left inner eyelid, which appears to be partially closed all the time.

We will have to address that at his checkup.

After being fixed, we decided we couldn't put him back outside injured, so he is hanging out in the shelter's intake room for a few weeks until he is ready to fend for himself.

Here are a few more pics of the handsome devil!

He's a sweet boy!
