This poor man came in last week for evaluation during the cold snap.
He cowered in the corner for days.
Sadly he was not a feral, just very, very scared.
We were able to discern this because he is fully grown, not emaciated, and unneutered.
If he were feral, he would be hissing and spitting and tearing the cage to bits wanting to get back outside.
Also, his coat would be dull and rough and he would have scars from fights and ragged ears from bites.
Yet, his fur is soft and his only wound is an abrasion on his nose from trying to get out of the trap.
And on the third day here this sweet boy let us pet him and did not protest in the slightest!
Those are the sad telltale signs of a cat who has been dumped.
He is scheduled to be neutered tomorrow, and then when he comes back and we're going to work non-stop on socializing him so he can find a forever home as quickly as possible.
This boy will not get dumped out in the cold ever again.
