Truman
Truman, now healed and no longer in severe pain, is turning into quite the loverboy and enjoys building relationships with people.
He is a handsome young tabby with expressive eyes, 3 years of age and neutered, previously declawed, and ready for adoption at Nevada SPCA.
Truman is good with kids. He gets agitated by other cats and needs a one-cat household please.
An extra note which is important in telling Truman's story: Truman's painful condition was reportedly unnecessary. His veterinarian directed Truman's previous owners to stop feeding him raw meat and stop denying him fresh water. (Their theory was reportedly that he received enough moisture from the raw meat and did not need fresh water, despite the veterinarian's strong objections.) Truman eventually developed bladder crystals and was surrendered to the veterinarian, who in turn treated and saved him, and then asked for our help to find him a responsible home. Truman is on a special diet (which breaks down crystals and diminishes the chances of crystals re-forming) and doing very well.
Please visit and ask for Truman by name.
Added
note: This post is for finding Truman a wonderful, loving, responsible
home, not to debate about theories of raw meat and denying cats fresh
water. We believe it's important for people to know why the animals
needed rescue. In this case, a struggle between following a
veterinarian's directions and a couple's personal beliefs led to what
Truman endured.
