Critter Details

    Noir appeared in my yard in mid-September, very skinny and missing most of the hair on his head and neck. He was bullied by the TNR cats that I feed, but he was friendly and very much wanted to come inside. I took him to a vet and had him neutered and treated for fleas and the ringworm that turned out to be the cause of his hair loss. He received all his shots, including rabies and feline HIV (he tested negative). The vet estimated his age at one year. He has a microchip now, too, but it isn’t registered to a name yet. Noir spent a month in isolation because of the ringworm, but he was given a clean bill of health in mid-October. He is an energetic and talkative boy who loves playing with feather wands. He also enjoys catnip and bird-watching out the window. He likes climbing cat towers. He is not a picky eater, liking both dry and canned food of all flavors. He gets along with other cats, though the grumpy old lady cats in this foster home don’t have much patience with him. Although I don’t know how he would act around dogs, he would like a playful animal companion to burn some of his energy with. He probably wouldn’t be patient with small children, but would be alright with tweens or teens. We discovered that Noir is allergic to Revolution flea treatment for cats, so he will have to be treated with a different preventative.
