This is what the Forgotten Felines foster mum says: 'From the cruel streets of Temple, Harvey showed up on my porch, starving, bleeding, covered in bites and fleas and really needing help. A needed rescue if ever there was one. He received care, lots of nourishing food, was neutered and entered into my home with my personal cats and the occasional stray or foster. He was hilarious and highly entertaining. And then I noticed that one of his eyes was trying to cloud. I gave him medicine for a month and it didn't clear. The vets said he still had vision but it was likely permanent clouding. Then he looked at me one day and had developed nystagmus, or zigzag eye. Fortunately, he has no coordination issues, no vestibular problems or head tilt. But, it did seem to cause a change in his interactions with my cats. He showed that he didn't want to be around other cats, especially at night and begged to go out. He looks out the window and becomes very agitated and clearly wants out. He also becomes overstimulated around my cats and shows that he just wants to be the only kitty. Who knows what he went through as a stray, but his behavior did change when his eye became clouded. He really needs to have his own kingdom. Thus, in his best interest, Harvey's perfect home would be with adults only, no dogs and likely a mostly outdoor life. He loves to stay on guard and remain on high alert. He has proved to be an excellent mouser and does have a taste for dove. He is a good boy, only about 2 years and deserves to have his own private family of hoomans and a safe place to guard the fort, possibly with a garage or barn at first. He can come inside, after he gets comfortable. The main criterion is no other cats. He just cannot handle it. I will include a cat house and a low wattage heating pad. He doesn't like the cold. If you want a laugh a minute, street smart, goofy wild eyed child, Harvey is your guy. He is a head butting, high fiving, in your face pirate king. He just needs a place to decompress and be himself, on his terms. Can you make room for the once and future king Harvey of Temple? He is a real hoot. Thank you!" Please contact Melissa 512-749-0569. Harvey has a sponsor so no adoption fee is required. Donations would be appreciated but are not necessary.

More about this rescue
We are primarily a feral or stray cat rescue organization, dedicated to ending the killing of feral cats by local animal controls and shelters. This is accomplished by reducing the number of cats using TNRM (trap, neuter, vaccinate, return, maintain) methods. In the process, some abandoned stray friendly cats and many kittens come into our system who need homes. We are not a shelter, so these are all fostered in our homes, making them really special cats. Volunteers are always needed for trapping, feeding colonies, education, and fostering. Call (512) 709-7020. And of course, donations are always welcome.
