Dino The Tabby Cat Is Looking For A Loving Home Can It Be Your Home

Published

on

Dino, an adorable 6-month old tabby boy! His story is remarkable. He was neutered several months ago along with his two siblings, but at that time, he was not considered friendly enough to be kept for adoption and was returned to his colony. Soon after, we received a call from those caring for him in the colony that something was wrong with his rear-end. We were able to trap him again, brought him to the vet, and found out that he had a prolapsed rectum. By quickly taking care of this problem, we were able to save his life. The bonus of this happening, because we had to hold onto him for several months, is that we realized he really likes human contact and is now a sweet and adoptable kitten!!  He’s currently living in a large cage in a foster’s home, but he makes the best of it by playing with his toys and rolling over for belly rubs. He’s a curious and adorable purr-machine! Dino will be quite timid at first in his new home, but he craves love and attention and given some time, will adjust wonderfully. Dino is neutered, vaccinated and negative for FeLV and FIV. Please open your heart to this precious little boy who has been through a lot and was given a second chance to now have a forever loving home. Please call 845-634-0345. This is a landline phone, so kindly leave a message if you get a VM and your call will be returned. We are a 501(c)(3) cat rescue group in Rockland for over 29 years. Thank you!!
