Update on Ernesto from the Annex Cat Rescue

2/17/2020

0 Comments

 

Ernesto is now a finalist in the Petcurean Uplift the Underdog contest - you can vote once a day until the end of day on Feb. 24th!

Remember Ernesto? Well, he was the 12th Adoptable Pet of the Holiday Season (my blog series)...but this handsome boy is still available for adoption?

Think you and Ernesto might make a great team? Read on below to find out more about this wonderful lad, and contact The Annex Cat Rescue to arrange a meeting!

Take a moment to check out the video below, where you can meet Ernesto, and his foster mom helps you get to know him better!
Ernesto is a retired tomcat and a big softy at heart. He was found on the street in winter 2019 with infections in his eyes, ears and gums. After being treated, neutered and having all of his teeth removed, he began a new chapter in his foster home

For weeks, Ernesto only felt safe when hidden under the bed. He allowed his foster mom to gently scratch his head under the bed, but he only came out to eat and use the litterbox when nobody was around.

Over the course of many weeks, he slowly began to trust his foster mom. He now loves being petted and brushed, especially on the head and behind his puffy cheeks, and he purrs softly. His tail is something to behold: when he's happy, it spins around in huge circles and knocks down everything in its path!
Currently, Ernesto is not a lap cat. He chooses to stay on the floor while being petted, and he does not like being picked up. When not being petted, Ernesto loves to snooze, attack his catnip toys and watch keenly out the window.

Ernesto is extremely observant and alert to sounds, smells and movements. He has become quite curious and enjoys exploring all the nooks and crannies in his foster home!

Ernesto LOVES to eat. He will sing you a symphony of meows to remind you that it's mealtime, and given the chance, he will devour everything in sight!

Check out Ernesto's Instagram account to hear him meow and to watch him cuddle and play! Find it at:

Ernesto is FIV+ and has ongoing symptoms that are typical of feline herpes (a cat "cold"), specifically: clear discharge from his left eye and occasional sneezing. He is currently taking L-lysine powder, mixed in with his food twice daily, to help with the feline herpes.

Ernesto would prefer a quiet home with no dogs or kids. If introduced over time in a way that allows him to feel safe, his foster mom believes that he could eventually bond with one other calm, non-aggressive cat.

Ernesto will likely need to hide for several weeks in his new home and it may take time before he feels safe enough to interact with you. But if you are patient and allow him to take things at his own pace, you will be rewarded when his soulful and affectionate nature begins to shine through.

Ernesto is neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccinations.
