Bruce's Story

Let me tell y'all about Bruce. This big hunk of burning love has been living on the streets for years. He is a retired Tomcat, about 3-5 years old, with half a tail, wounds, and scars that tell his story of hardship to anyone willing to listen. Over the last year, one wound in particular had trouble healing. Many trips to the vet and courses of antibiotics would temporarily help, but the wound never closed. We had him triple tested, and no surprise, he is FIV positive. That helps explain why he hasn't been able to heal the wound. So we decided to take him in to have it surgically closed. It wasn't an easy fix, but Bruce is finally on the road to recovery! Bruce has been the perfect gentleman throughout all of this. I think he knows just how much we are doing to help him, and he is very appreciative. The original plan was for Bruce to go back to his colony. But I really don't want to do that to him. He deserves better. So I promised him I would ask- Does anyone have room in their heart and home for this guy? I just know that there is someone, somewhere, just waiting for him. Bruce is very low maintenance. All he wants to do is lay around and take it easy. He may entertain playing with a few toys, but he would much rather roll over on his back for belly rubs. He is all about lazy days and taking it easy. Bruce has lived with colony cats his whole life, and currently is being fostered with other cats and does well with them. He is also being fostered with large dogs and gets along well with them. He has not been around small kids. He would also do well as an only cat. Bruce has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and treated for fleas. He is FIV positive, Feline Leukemia negative, and Heartworm negative.
