Blue is a ~4yo cat has had a hard start to life. He came from an abusive situation and was eventually relinquished to rescue. He had been declawed and shaved down. The foster in the south told us he was scared, and would need time to decompress. It took him about 2-3 weeks to really trust his rescuer in the south. He arrived in Vermont and was very cantankerous at first- frequently growling and hissing. We respected his communication and gave him time. He is now a lovebug who can t get enough of the scritches. He is quite thin and still has some fur to grow back in. Both the vet in the south and the vet here in Vermont have checked him out and feel that he is most likely just stressed. His lab work looked okay. He is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and has been given flea and tick prevention. We are hoping for a quiet and gentle home for him. He obviously has to be an indoor only cat, and we think he'd be best without dogs. He seems to be good with other cats. His adoption fee is $75. Inquire here or at cvcaninerescue.org
