Everyone meet Buzz!


Buzz was abandoned at my friend's vet's office 7-8 years ago. They estimated him to be about 4 at that time. He was born blind in one eye and has limited sight in the other eye. He also has chronic respiratory problems. They were unable to find a home for him so he went to my friend's horse farm to be a barn cat.

Barn cats have a large section of the hayloft to themselves. They have food, water, litter boxes, kitty condos, and lots of bales of hay to snooze on.

About 5 weeks ago Buzz appeared downstairs. He was alarmingly thin. The other cats would not let him back upstairs. We started feeding him canned food downstairs and he has put some weight back on. Still, not allowed back upstairs. The barn is a dangerous place for a kitty with limited vision.

I just bought a house and Buzz has come to live with me. He is making himself quite at home.

He likes my desk chair a lot

You did such a nice thing by giving him a warm welcoming home. I'll bet he is happy to be safe and wanted! Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you all for appreciating Buzz. He is quite a personable old guy and yes, he seems to be very grateful to be indoors where it is warm.

My plan was to get a second dog after I got settled, but sometimes life makes changes to your plans.
