My friend sent me a photo of her black tuxedo #cat - totally zonkered out atop a couch. It looks like she's gonna topple over but she's been there for 2 hours like that - kitty snores n all 
This is a teaser lead up to another black tuxedo cat personal share coming up soon 
From a different cat rescuing friend.
One of my #CatRescuer friends is now working with this black tuxedo #feral. It kept going to her home & no one has claimed this cat. It was in pretty rough shape. My friend is getting veterinary care for this cat, this week. She has the kitty in a studio workshop space. Cat has eaten a lot; chowed down like it's been starving. Cat is still scared of people but my friend is very patient with cats & will slowly build trust.
Update on the #FeralCat my friend rescued. She has named him, Clive. It took a few days to get him comfy enough to sleep in cardboard box inside contained small studio outbuilding. She has trapped him. He is going to the vet on Tuesday morning for full health check-up & get any necessary vaccines/treatments needed.
Clive has been enjoying many sardines & tuna tins.
Update on Clive - the #FeralCat that my friend recently rescued from her rural property in Yellowpoint - Cedar/Ladysmith area.
Clive had his full vet check up & he is #FIV+. He'll require regular visits to vet to monitor his health condition & get vaccines as needed.
Clive got all his vaccines last week & is doing pretty good. He got neutered & treated for fleas & worms too. My friend has moved him from the studio outbuilding into her home. Clive is still very timid but is slowly coming around. He is a very sweet & handsome kitty cat 
I have another Clive update coming, with photos, this evening
Clive is not as anxious now. He is not peeing on his bed & everywhere else in my friend's home now. Excellent feral cat rehab progress 
Clive is slowly becoming a much loved, domesticated cat
Got another progress update on Clive.
"My big excitement this week was first purrs from Clive! "
Clive is getting used to being a beloved housecat after an uncertain feral life. We believe he was dumped by previous owner after he became sick with FIV. Unfortunately, many not so kind humans often choose to dump animals when they get sick/get older - when animals need humans to love & care for them more. Me & my friends who have done a lot of animal rescue work have seen too many dumped pets. Animals experience abandonment traumas too. I wish more folks would turn pets over to local rescue/shelter or post ad asking for rehoming assistance instead of just dumping animals outside.
Clive is much more adjusted to indoor cat life now. He's still very skittish around humans but not trying to escape my friend's house, not hiding away as much & is allowing more daily, gentle human petting. He's started to actively engage my friend, who rescued him, when she introduces him to new cat toys. He's doing better, health wise, despite having FIV. Clive gets so much love & quality care from my friend in Ladysmith.
@PhoenixSerenity awww, that poor baby. 
@DrSuzanne This kitty won the rescue cat lotto with my friend taking it in. She's a huge cat lover & this kitty is going to be very loved/spoiled
@PhoenixSerenity Kitty certainly deserves it. 
@DrSuzanne I'll provide some updates as kitty starts adapting to having a safe & loving home. They won't need to worry about being hungry or freezing over Winter
@PhoenixSerenity Yes! Please do!!
@PhoenixSerenity I found this little one in the woods near my house a few months back. She's now living her best life.
@DrSuzanne Rescued cats are the best.
@PhoenixSerenity @DrSuzanne
What a sweetie. Thank you for taking her in & giving her a good life.
Megs & Laurie send luv & purrs, & wish you many happy years with her.
@SurrealSeal @DrSuzanne It's my friend up island who rescued this kitty. We think it's a male but unsure at this time. She will know more after veterinarian checkup.
@DrSuzanne @PhoenixSerenity
We made that mistake with Laurie (we had thought he was probably female, & named him Laurel). He’s still gorgeous, even though we were mistaken. He was a ‘gift from the angels’ (he fell out of our hedge - we don’t know how he came to be there ).
@SurrealSeal @DrSuzanne I know a few male cats with female names & vice versa. It's all good - as long as they're well loved & cared for
@PhoenixSerenity @DrSuzanne
This was my lovely Chazz. She had a unisex name bc even the vet couldn't be sure....
I refused to take her in for 'castration' until we found out, but when she had her 1st season I knew she was female.
She was very tiny, but was the undisputed boss of 6 dogs, and lived to 18 1/2. She was a very soporific little cat - within minutes of her jumping onto my lap, or curliing up in my arm I was asleep.
@SurrealSeal @DrSuzanne Beautiful cat. What a loving long life she had with you
Asher is undersized with a shorter tail than most cats his age. He's very compact.
@DrSuzanne @PhoenixSerenity may Bastet shed her fur on the two of them so they grow to become family.
@PhoenixSerenity @DrSuzanne our street rescue from January is right now in the garden with harness and leash (the older cat went back indoors as it’s dropped to nine degrees or less), went up the outdoor stairs to the second floor neighbours and is romeo’ing their cat through the window, and both the neighbours and we think it’s hilarious. He also snores on my lap.
@mirabilos @DrSuzanne Window lover cat
@PhoenixSerenity
Providing those regular mealtimes is 1 of the most important steps in building trust from a stray or feral cat. SO GLAD the kitty now has safe shelter, much needed veterinary care and a kind/caring person to look after them.
Hope you keep us posted on progress being made.
@TrueBlue4THREE I will definitely keep you all posted as things progress
... the tins, or the tuna...????
@SJAsh_03 All the fish. He is loving the food.
That's my kind of cat – tinned fish is one of my staples!
@PhoenixSerenity Awww... lucky Clive! And kudos to your friend for rescuing a feral!
@PhoenixSerenity hi Clive, welcome to the world of FIV+ rescue black cats with white spots from Čara and Malik! The latter being 11.5 months with us now and also had to have all the defleaing, deworming, neutering, vaccinating, chipping, etc. done but is happy about it. (Čara has been with us for 5.5 of her 8.5 years of age.) #FediCats
@PhoenixSerenity this is from when he was slowly warming up (literally: the day we caught him and took him inside, the night got -14 degrees), seeing Čara for the first time, and putting his paws on the catdad’s laptop in an acceptance of adoption
@PhoenixSerenity back then his fur was really bristly, it got very soft and shiny soon after, as he had care, and time to care about his fur without fear to survive (and of being bullied by other, older cats) for the first time (from what we can puzzle together, he was 5~7 months when ending up on the streets, and we took him in at about 1 year 8 months of age). He knows to use his fur against the catdad’s legs (when wearing shorts) to persuade a handing over of treats or the next meal to great effect.
@DifferentDrummer @mirabilos I'll keep updating on Clive, as things progress
I am praying for this kitty.
@pkw I have SO MANY feelings with cats & dogs who belong to others
@PhoenixSerenity @pkw Paul, you might like the cats from the replies to the https://beige.party/@PhoenixSerenity/113584714108454706 post 
@PhoenixSerenity I coaxed a feral cat to come live indoors in 2023 and 2024. It's a slow process but it's worth it to see her enjoying a much more comfortable life now and she's been showing more and more sweetness as time passes by.
Here's a picture of this once feral but sweet girl.
@IzabelaKaramia Thank you for caring & rescuing this former feral
@PhoenixSerenity @IzabelaKaramia I love my two FIV+ furbabies, won’t want to live without them again.
@PhoenixSerenity For people who love cats but have never taken on feral rescues or senior cats who lost their owners, it's an incredible experience to give cats who might otherwise be forgotten a chance to live out their years with love and attention.
I hadn't done it before, but the cat distribution system somehow got me to the apartment complex where Ginza lived and I felt like it could be done with patience.
I haven't done much in life, but at least I've done right by Ginza.
@PhoenixSerenity
Oh God. Thank you all for taking Clive in. Everyone in my family thinks people who dump pets should be turned out of their own homes with a loincloth and a spear and be told to go hunt for their dinner.
@MaryAustinBooks @PhoenixSerenity
I always thought they should be transported blindfolded a hundred miles or so too, but yes.
@PhoenixSerenity
Our little fur baby had FIV, as well as melanoma, we were so blessed to have him as long as we did, he was the sweetest boy ever 
RIP Fermi 
It’s so hard when people dump pets just as soon as they get sick or old. What is the point of having a pet when you don’t take care of them when they need it the most.
It would better to have a plant, they don’t need as much care and some die naturally in a few weeks because that’s how long they live.
