My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Neil Sedaka is a lover who is longing for the day he gets to leave us and move to his forever home with his own family who love him.

Not that Neil has anything against us! Just that he is so sweet and so loving. He really wants to settle in and adore you completely and have you adore him right back. In other words, he longs for a real home where he will be safe and loved for the rest of his life.

Neil came to us with a horrific, deep wound that went all around his neck. The vets say it is the result of strangling by wire- whether intentional or accidental is what we will never know. We can only imagine the pain and the desperation he felt as a stray with nobody to turn to. Had a kind woman not recognized the severity of his injuries and gotten him to us, he would have died. On top of that, Neil has a coordination problem- it may be a mild case of cerabellar hypoplasia or it may be neurological damage from the injuries he sustained.

Neil's neck wound was so terrible and deep that he is still healing five months later. Not visible in the pictures because of how fluffy he is, but Dr. Morhaus of Tri-City Animal & Bird Clinic is still treating the wound.

Neil is not yet ready to be adopted, but if you would like to inquire about a FUTURE adoption, please contact Susan at (314) 478-4502 or susanfbauer@gmail.com.
