Tommy Tom-Tom is a 6 year old American Shorthair i

Tommy Tom-Tom came into our lives and our home in July 2023. We found that two years before that his owners moved and left him. Tommy is a best friend and emotional support cat to our other cat who is diabetic. Paul also was a stray. Tommy looked like a huge tomcat, so we named him Tommy Tom-Tom.

Tommy suffered with an infestation of ear mites that he endured for over 2 years. When we first saw him his ears were packed with black crusty mites and from scratching he was bleeding way down his neck. This caused a severe infection that has turned into a cancerous tumor in the ear canal. Different medications alleviate some of the pain, but the tumor must be removed and the sooner the better.

Tommy has 2 two-legged friends, me and my husband. His best buddy is Paul, the diabetic cat. Tommy is very gentle for a large cat, and loves the company of people. He is a lap cat and a good friend to my husband who is a retired vet with a very bad back. Tommy has a plastic tube toy that he carries while meowing so loudly that one time I thought he was hurt. He loves, loves cat t.v.

I am currently an unemployed caregiver since my client just passed away.. My husband drove for a transport service transporting disabled and mentally challenged adults to day care. He hurt his back and is going through physical therapy at this time. We have social security.
