Check out this handsome young fellow, Berkeley. Berkeley is a short hair tabby male with gorgeous big eyes, a loud voice, white chest and paws.He was rescued by our dedicated volunteer, Brittany, from the rough streets of North Central when he attached his little bitty self to her and meowed desperately for help!
Even though we are completely full with rescued cats, Brittany could not bear the thought of this little guy being left behind. She could see his every bone was protruding through his skin so she picked him up for placement into foster care, hoping for the best.
It turned out that Berkeley was a very sick young boy. What we thought was a 4-month old kitten turned out to be a one-year old adult in very rough shape from life on the streets. He became increasingly ill and was taken to the vet, where it was determined that he had a blood parasite in his system. It was rough, and at one point we feared the worst, but he persevered and held on. After several days at the vet, he was released and went home with Brittany and her family, where he will get lots of TLC while he finishes his medication and recovers.
Despite his illness and harrowing experience, this is a very loving little cat. Even at his sickest, he was purring and talking to the vet clinic staff, though he was so weak he couldn't even lift his head. He is extremely affectionate and he will be as good as new within 2 weeks when his medication is finished. He will be ready and raring to go to his new forever home!
