Peter is a 4-year-old Tabby in Lafayette, TN, who needs $176 for Neuter and Vetting.

Peter came up to our door. He was hungry and scared, yet he was very loving. He's a very large Tabby. His head is literally the size of a softball. He weighs approximately 14 lbs. I, very gingerly, and scared myself, attempted to pet him. He immediately coward. Though he had a hard life, as big as he is that's how loving he is.

Pete is still learning some house manners. He's come so far in such a short period of time. He still paws the water out of the bowel, and laps it off of the floor. He's teaching himself to lap it out of the water bowel. He loves his tuna fish treat, and looks forward to it each evening with my other cats who were abandoned here.

Peter is a lover, not a fighter. He even cowers when my 16 yr old who has 3 teeth, can hardly see and either can't hear or ignores me growls at him, Peter could eat him as a treat. He's so gentle, he just wants loving. If I don't pet him enough he taps me until I pet him again. He tapped me with his nails. I gently told him, Petey, no, no,easy baby, no nails. 3 days later he uses his pads.

He needs to be neutered, and be Vetted. He goes outside, on my Private Road. Each day he gets his exercise, some fresh air and he loves to go "bugging" and to hunt. Hence the neutering is vital, as well as his shots. He will see the family Vet at Macon County Veterinary Hospital. He'll have a 7:30 am Surgical appointment. I'll be able to pick him up at 1:30.

I would like to tell you a little about myself. My profession was a Mental Health Counselor for many years. I became one hundred percent disabled which I can never return to any type of employment again. Therefore, I am on SSDI, and house payment alone is a killer.
