Rescue the losers, they need it

tldr; adopt animals which get passed over due to age or other factors, yeah it's a little pricey, but they're characters in their own right

Meet Ronald. He’s covered in shit and frail. Has zero teeth. The shelter said it was dental disease- we took him to our vet and they couldn’t find any teeth. So I guess we don’t have to worry about him biting us?

He loved the scratches at the kennel though- note the inside of his paws, he gets lonely (or anxiety who knows) and obsessively licks his arms till they bleed- he's all but stopped this behavior now. He's pretty thin, and was super food aggressive (living on the streets of NYC will do that to ya).
Did I mention that he had uncontrollable diarrhea? COVERED EVERYTHING IN SPRAY POOP WHEN HE CAME HOME. INCLUDING A CELL PHONE.
CATS CAN FART. ITS TERRIFYING.

Anyways, he’s doing a bit better I’d say. Hasn’t quite figured out what a bed is, but after a few showers (he’s dumb and doesn’t know how to clean himself- literally no idea what to do), he sleeps through everything- including vacuuming.

So he doesn’t have teeth so his cheeks sag a bit, you can see his mouth does more of the :3 like the emoji here. He also likes to be snuggled on car rides. Seriously, he just sits there for a 3 hour ride and snoozes.

It took us 7 months to find medicine which would alleviate his explosive diarrhea, which requires three medicines, two twice daily.
He’s cost us a ton in vet bills, but every minute was worth it. Watching him have explosive diarrhea on my girlfriends cellphone was worth the thousands we have put into him.
Make sure you adopt from your local shelter. Get the weird ones who get passed over. Ronald was a few days away from being put to sleep at the shelter, and has been so affectionate since we pulled him out of that cage.

Cat tax? I guess? He’s a weird one.
