Christmas Rescue Cat Katpone Finds New Life
A hefty stray named Katpone was welcomed into Furkids Animal Rescue and Shelters on Christmas Day. The 15-pound, 4-to-5-year-old male, who was unneutered, arrived with a tough look and signs of a rough outdoor life, including thick facial skin, misshapen ears, a positive test for feline immunodeficiency virus, and an upper respiratory infection.
After receiving food, shelter, veterinary care and affection, Katpone’s health improved over several weeks. He revealed a gentle, affectionate personality that surprised the staff, who joked that he was already “running the place.”
Furkids now hopes to match Katpone with a loving home, believing that his street-survival days can remain in the past.
