MR. BLACK - aka "Cuddles"

Mr. Black -aka "Cuddles" showed up at C.A.T.S.' door about a year ago. He was not neutered and had obviously been a stray for awhile. But in no way was he a feral! His favorite spot in the whole wide world

is cuddled on someone's shoulder. And he is an equal opportunity employer - any shoulder will do!

We haven't been able to find this wonderful guy a forever home because he is FIV positive. He would need to be in a one cat home. He has also developed stomatitis, a painful chronic condition affecting the teeth and gums.

None of the treatments tried have been effective; we are being advised to have all his teeth extracted. This will be complicated by the FIV, but our vet said that despite this, he is in fairly good health.

C.A.T.S. is running in the red, so we're scrambling to find the funds to cover Mr. Black's dental surgery, but

we are committed to doing everything we can to help this sweet affectionate cat.
