Tony

Tony: 7 year old short-haired male orange tabby

Tony has been through alot. He had been fed for over 9 months while he was outside in the North End with other strays and ferals by volunteers from Cat Tails Rescue. We were waiting for a foster home to open up for him and we were just about to rescue him the next day in late fall as the weather was getting colder when someone turned him in to the Winnipeg Humane Society and told them he belonged to Cat Tails Rescue. We were notified that he was there and we followed him there for over a month. Tony had giardia and upper respiratory and was treated for both but he continued to have loose stool and we were notified that just over a month after he had been at the Winnipeg Humane Society that we had two days to pick him up or he would be put to sleep. On very short notice, we were able to find several volunteers to pick him up from WHS and foster him on an emergency basis. We had traced his tattoo to a previous owner who had given him away to an elderly woman with another cat. Somehow he ended up on the streets to fend for himself. Tony has a terrific personality and loves people. Tony is a big friendly love bug who likes to be held like a baby and cuddled. He loves everyone and he is very dog-like. He deserves to be a pampered puss after all that he has been through. Tony the Tiger is enjoying being the king of his castle and being spoiled rotten by his new owner after we had been feeding him and he had been roughing it outside since last spring.
