Home for Charles

I've been silent on my blog recently and instead started a new blog for this guy - HomeForCharles.blogspot.com!  Charles was a stray that came to my home nightly for about a week.  He was very interested in my cats, causing quite a commotion among my household.  I brought him in to the vet to check for a microchip, have him examined and test him for FeLV and FIV.  Unfortunately, he came up FIV (feline aids) positive.  His health exam was fine, though, and we moved forward with his neuter surgery.

I knew I needed to find him a home and that the search would not be easy.  There are so many cats that need homes and Charles needs a special one.  Ideally, I would want to find him a single cat home.  I tried without success to get a rescue organization to take him in to foster him, but they're not able to do so because he is FIV+.  I've been doing everything I can to spread the word and get his photos shared - on Facebook, online, and on community boards in local stores, libraries, etc.

I can't give up hope, but we're approaching about 6 weeks since he joined my home temporarily.  He's definitely one too many and I do have to keep him separate from the other cats unless I'm supervising them.  I've been crossing my fingers and toes daily for him!!

He's the best cat ever and I wish I could have the room to keep him!!
