Aww, you guessed it!
Henry is INSIDE.
We trapped him last week, and have worked to make him comfortable in the area once called Angel's Apartment, then Sweetie's Apartment, now it all belongs to Henry.
Henry had his first veterinarian visit yesterday.
Catching him was not easy; he went full wildcat.
Once he'd cornered himself, The Hubby (in heavy gloves) pushed him into the open carrier, and zipped the door closed.
At the vet's office, it was clear that he was much too anxious, so we opted to have him sedated for a good examination.
The News:
Henry is a male cat.*
Aged 5-7 years.*
Is FIV positive.
Is neutered, with the ear tip as additional evidence.
No microchip.
Weighs 9.7 lbs.
Next steps:
Dental in two weeks.
Work on his social skills with humans.
Henry will stay in his apartment.
We are determined to give Henry every advantage that a pampered housecat could have.
If possible, will introduce him to Da Boyz some day.
Welcome, Inside Cat Henry!
😻😽😻
Wow! This is news indeed! Well done. And Henry's a mancat, after all... I'm saddened by the FIV, but he couldn't be in better hands to live out his life in warmth and affection.
ReplyDeleteOH, HENRY what a darling and he must have had a terrible scare in his little short years. So sad for kitties who are mistreated. You will work wonders we are SURE of that...can't wait until he meets da boyz. How can we automatically comment as we do on other blogs without having to use ANONYMOUS fill in???
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely fantastic news for Henry. I hope he doesn't stay wild. And that eventually in a short time he learns that in the house is safe and warm and dry. I'm sure going to the vet didn't help but it has to be done. It's nice to know he was already neutered.
ReplyDeleteWell done on trapping Henry. So he did have the correct name all along! He will have a much better life now.
ReplyDeleteOh, Henry! That is GREAT news!
ReplyDeleteHello, Henry! You've landed in a wonderful place!
ReplyDeleteDearest Vicky,
ReplyDeleteWow, so Henry is a boy! All your name guessing turned out to have been right.
So happy that you captured him and slowly he will adjust to a life at home and eventually meeting da Boyz.
Congrats on accomplishing this before the weather changes.
Hugs,
Mariette + Kitties

ReplyDeleteThis is the BEST news!!!
ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job
ReplyDeleteHenry, you may not realize it yet, but you are going to have a much better life now!
ReplyDeleteHenry is on the road to a good life now. As for the FIV positive, we've adopted out many such cats and they can lead normal, happy lives and not endanger the other cats in the house.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Henry, to the life of a loved and pampered kitty!!
ReplyDeleteInside and no longer subject to the whims of the weather and other more dangerous stuff...
