The Weigh Station

Poor Chip. Not only did he have a bad case of worms, but he did have some boo-boo's, no doubt from altercations with other cats. We don't know how long he was on his own, but due to his poor coat condition and low weight, it's probably been awhile. Perhaps he's been on his own for the entire winter?

It's been a tough one this year, for certain. Lots of snow, frigid temperatures and even a few ice storms. I honestly don't know how ANY of these cats survive. It's one of the things I HATE about winter. I wish I could protect all the free-roaming cats from having to struggle to survive in harsh conditions. They need to be in a nice, warm home with a full belly and lots of love.

The good news for Chip is that Jeanne was able to find a placement for him at ROAR and he didn't even have to get onto a waiting list (usually NOT the case!). I don't know much about this Shelter, but everything I do hear is VERY VERY positive. If I had to choose a place for Chip, other than my own home, I'd aim for ROAR, first.

A few days ago, Chip was placed at ROAR. I haven't seen his adoption listing come up yet, but as soon as it's live, I'll post it here. If anyone in the area of Northern Fairfield County, Connecticut is looking for a sweet, golden-eyed friend, please contact ROAR (and let us know if you've adopted him, of course!).

We send our best wishes to Chip and hope he will find his forever family very soon. This lucky boy, who was found starving behind a hardware store, is now safe, warm and on the road to purr-fect health. May all his worst days be behind him now.

Way to Go, Trapper Jeanne!
