Cat Connection: Meet Gramps

Today’s featured cat rescued by Oceana County Animal Friends is Gramps, who is a very special senior cat. 

“We estimate he is likely 13 years or older. When he was found this past fall, he was very skinny and starving living outside. Gramps was taken to the vet, and was found to be FIV positive, which means he is immune compromised. He also had ulcers in his mouth — a huge one on his tongue and others on his gums. Gramps’ tongue has healed, and his gums are almost healed. He only has his canine teeth left, too. He drools, and needs his face and chin wiped off a few times a day. 

“Gramps loves the extra pampering. He could use a weekly bath and regular brushing, as he struggles with grooming himself. He needs a home that is willing to give him a very nurturing last few years of his life. Gramps would be a great snuggle buddy and still has a bit of spunk left in him. If he is getting pets and love, and the person stops, he will give a firm ‘love bite’ or a swat at the hand or arm to say he wants more. Gramps is an extra affectionate guy that loves attention, and he needs way more than shelter staff can give him. He would be SO appreciative of a real home!

“If you would like to adopt Gramps, you can fill out an application through our Facebook page: Oceana County Animal Friends or on our website: oceanacountyanimalfriends.wordpress.com

Gramps is neutered, up to date on vaccines, flea treated, and dewormed. Adoption fee is $75, which helps pay for the cost of treatments.”
