Home, Sweet Home

Cecil has finally left the Cat Loft to begin the next stage of his life. His new person, Elizabeth, reports that he’s adjusting well, playing and being his old sweet self. To be honest, the timing was perfect as he was getting kind of cranky after his neuter surgery. His friend Kewpie had been adopted and life in a crate was so over for the gregarious tiger! He needs one more eye procedure and the staples have to come out from his neuter surgery, but there was no reason for him to stay at BARC when a loving home was waiting for him! Judging by the photos, he looks so happy and, who knows, maybe he’s learning to play chess?!?

Cecil on Park Avenue and 79th Street

Cecil had an exhausting day commuting to Manhattan for his neuter surgery. We both took a break next to this Fernando Botero sculpture on Park Avenue. I’ve seen people pulling their frantic, confused barking dogs past this delightful bronze giant! Cecil’s testicles never descended, a condition called bilateral cryptorchidism, and needed a procedure more like a spay than a simple neuter. His “cojones” were up by his kidneys, and the vet said it was fairly simple to the tune of $230.00 and change! He’s back in the Cat Loft and once his final eye procedure is done, he has a forever home to go to. He will be missed!
