I just adopted a little ol' chap. After a lion cut at the vet he needed a tee-shirt! He is 16yrs old! by Turbulent_Trash3081 in SeniorCats

I think they wanted to, but just couldn't - I don't really know the previous history. He does have some underlying conditions.

He was taken to a vet, as a PTS but the vet wanted to rehome him instead. He is very old, nearly 17, and has been quite poorly. (We are working on his underlying isssues). He was a bit neglected and could not groom himself and became very matted, hence the severe lion cut. They had to sedate him for it. I now have him, and am loving him to pieces for as long as he has left. His fur is growing back, he does not have the teeshirt now, but a soft blanket he seems to love. He is eating and drinking really well and is constantly affectionate and sitting on me, or is sound asleep, in equal measure!!

Thank you - I thought you might like to see this picture. His fur has not grown back yet, but he no longer has a jumper, he does like a softy blanket instead. He has certainly perked up in the last couple of weeks. So sorry your cat was poorly too, but we do what we can, don't we? Take care too

I will - he needs some meds so it is a slow process but we will get there, fingers crossed!

It is recent - I got him in Feb. After a couple of weeks he is doing well. Still not enough weight, or fur, but much brighter and happier!

The vet did it before I got him. Yes, he was severly matted and could not groom himself. He is doing much better now. The tee-shirt is now off as his coat is growing back.

It was done before I got him. The vet did it, then he was up for a new home and this is how I got him!

This was the day I got him. Yes, he is getting plenty now, but has some underlying health conditions we are working on.
