Houston, TX • Cocoa’s Tails

Puff is a community cat who we began caring for after his feral mother weaned him. He’s been residing at our home for a few months after being born somewhere else in the neighborhood and then raised around our property by his feral mother, along with his litter mates. After Puff became injured, we made him an indoor habitat and are currently caring for him indoors in large cat home structures. Puff is a sweet and gentle cat despite being a community cat raised by a feral mother. We give him pets, clean & groom him, hand feed him medicine & treats, provide regular routine meal times, keep him furnished with clean water in clean bowls, and socialize with him. We take him in for medical appointments and are now raising funds for surgeries he needs before he can safely wander freely. Puff loves to get cozy on beds or blankets or anything soft. He loves cuddling with other cats in his family and he is welcoming of new animals that he meets. He is gentle and a little shy, but not skittish. He socialized himself when he first smelled Gerber being provided to an injured kitten. Puff loves Gerber and Tuna. Puff was a community cat raised by a feral mother and along with his litter mates was weaned by the mother. We have been doing spay / neuter and re-release with his family, so we keep up with them. Puff one day visited us in an injured state & decided to take refuge on our property, refusing to leave the safety of our home, with paralyzed tail and attack wounds on his groin & legs. Our family experienced unemployment & steep medical costs due to Covid19-caused Long Covid in the husband in our family who is now disabled. Unemployment checks are limited & intermittent, and job seeking is tough while disabled. We badly need assistance for Puff’s surgery.
