My story

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

Spiky is a perfect gentleman kitty. He came to us in a December rainstorm, and although,
hungry, cold and wet, did not push and shove with the other cats, but simple waited politely to be noticed and with a gentle head butt and purr, asked if he might join us for dinner. All thru his exam and tests at the vet, he continued to be patient and obliging, greeting everyone with an offer of snuggles and kisses. Turns out, he is one lucky kitty to have come to us. It seems that, although healthy otherwise, he has diabites and would have died if gone untreated. He requires too easy shots a day, which he hardly seems to notice as long as he gets love and food in the bargin.

His beautiful black fur, with smoke undercoat, has been restored to its former glory after a shave and haircut to get rid of of the spiked matts of tree sap that were standing up on his back. (Hence the name “Spikie,” which really should have been “Lover”.) He is about 8 years old and is available for adoption to special home under the Nike Animal Rescue Senior Program. All of his special food and medical care will be provided for his lifetime. Please consider this wonderful, brave kitty as a companion and lap warmer.
