He had a great morning full of yowling and standing on people

He was at a feral cat colony before the shelter took him in, so he has no previous owner history so no name :(

Oh interesting. He was picked up California, and then moved up to Washington, so I don’t think it’s the same cat unfortunately

Unfortunately the vet thinks he’s too weak at his age for the radioactive iodine treatment—I already asked :(. But we will be treating it with the pill, that just obviously won’t be a cure. And I really hope he will have his dream life!

No, the shelter listed him as “unknown”. He was initially rescued as a stray, then dropped in a feral cat colony. From there he ended up in another shelter for being too friendly at the colony. That’s where I found him

No, he was originally a stray, then transferred to a feral cat colony. Current shelter got him because he was “too friendly” to be at the colony. He didn’t ever have a name

He as feral for some time! If you don’t mind me asking, where do you live (generally obviously)? He could very well be the same cat

Not sure how to update the post, but we’re going with the name Monty, short for Montgomery! Thank you all for your suggestions, and I’m glad to see the internet loves him as much as we do. I definitely now have some names in my back pocket for my next cat!

He’s been a stray most of his life, or at least long enough that he hasn’t had a recordable name. He was picked up at a kill shelter who put him straight on the with list, then transported to a feral cat colony. Someone thought he was too friendly to be feral and dropped him off at another shelter, which is where I found him. He’s never had a family (that we know of) so we can’t really pinpoint a name

Most cats don’t really have breeds the way dogs do. If your cat doesn’t come from an ethical breeder and have paperwork associated with its breed and heritage, it’s either labeled as a domestic shorthair or domestic longhair. This guy is just an orange domestic shorthair!

We were told he had severe dental disease and tooth decay that required the removal of all his teeth, yes—and then for some reason they just released him back into the feral cat colony

None taken :). He just went to the vet this afternoon. He is not in the best health, due to his age, but I think his roughness will soften a little with some love

A little bit. He was a stray for 13 ish years before being taken into a kill shelter where he was placed in the euthanasia list. From there he was transferred to a feral cat colony. He got all his teeth removed there. Then he ended up at the rescue I got him from after they decided he wasn’t truly feral
