Cornflake was rescued in New Haven in Nov. 2022. His front feet were swollen (Pillow Feet diagnosis), requirning a long-term course of doxycycline. Once his feet healed, he developed stomatitis, requiring a full-mouth extraction. He is living in a foster home and after 7 months of care, attention and love, Cornflake is fully healed and ready for adoption! Cornflake has 3 favorite resident cats at his foster home who play with him, and he loves to eat. He has a lot of energy and is very "enthusiastic" with his cardboard scratcher. Cornflake primarily eats canned food, but also enjoys smaller dry kibble as a supplement, and soft cat treats. He is very social with people and enjoys watching the birds from inside the house. He would enjoy cat company. Cornflake is special because he was originally a "discarded cat" whose family abandoned him. He found a feral colony where he could eat, but his friendly demeanor left him vulnerable to living outside. He keeps himself very clean, and has good litter box skills, and enjoys interacting with humans for pets, or for playing with toys on a wand. He would not have survived if he wasn't rescued. People who feed outdoor cats do their best, but often these cats do not eat nutritionally balanced food. Cornflake appeared to be healthy at first, but the 2 disorders for which he was treated confirmed he was immunocompromised and needed more care. With antibiotics, diligence, and good food, he is looking wonderful! GNHCP is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization supported by donations and grants to carry out its mission to humanely address cat overpopulation through spay/neuter. When a cat is rescued and requires extraordinary veterinary care, it places a burden on financial resources.
