Feathers

Meet Feathers! This sweet outgoing boy is a delightful, purr machine and around 7 years old. He is bonded with this best friend, Stubbs. These inseparable boys were sick and injured in the Missouri Bootheel. Stubbs had a horrific injury to his rear which took his tail. He would not have lived if it weren't for a kind woman who rescues on her own agreed to get both him and Feathers initial vet care. When Tenth Life saw the graphic photos of Stubbs' injuries, we knew we had to help and we couldn't leave Feathers behind! Feathers, had a deep neck wound, upper respiratory infection and infected scrotum. Both boys were in really poor shape and needed Tenth Life badly. They have both healed and are now strong healthy boys. Feathers had terrible dental issues and all his teeth have been removed. He does best on wet food and soft treats but has a great appetite. He also has FIV which is a common virus that weakens a cat's immune system. Feathers can live a long, happy life but may take longer to get well if he gets sick. Stubbs is negative for FIV and Feathers will never pass it along to him. Feathers is a calm, lap cat but despite being the older one, Feathers is more playful. He enjoys dangly toys and running in and out of cubes and tunnels. Feathers is Stubbs' confidence builder and comfort. He constantly rubs on Stubbs and when Stubbs is feeling concerned, he helps him. They bathe each other and sleep curled up together. They are truly bonded and balance each other perfectly. They use a litter box always and they both are very food-driven and love everything they eat. They have had a little exposure to meeting a small dog and other cats in their foster home and they seem to do well. They have been with Tenth Life since December 2023 and they really want a home where they can have their own human lap or two to share. They are such a delightful pair and it's truly a joy to watch them love each other. They are eagerly awaiting their forever home where they can continue their journey together. These darling boys will no doubt enhance and bring love to your life and with two you never have to worry about them being lonely! www.tenthlifecats.org/adopt
