Neil is a brave cat who was rescued from a colony after evading capture for nine long months.

When he finally came into our care just before Christmas, he was very ill — but his fighting spirit never wavered.

At his recent vet visit, Neil was estimated to be around eight years old.

He tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), stomatitis, and cat lice, and is still recovering from mycoplasma.

Though he’s about 80% recovered, his weakened immune system means he’ll need to stay in quarantine for another month. Thanks to immediate treatment and lots of love, Neil is on the mend.

Once he’s fully recovered and cleared of lice and mycoplasma, he’ll join the other FIV+ cats in our special catio.

His stomatitis may eventually require a full mouth dental extraction, but for now, it’s mild and manageable with medication.

Neil has survived years without proper care, and now he finally has a chance to live the comfortable, safe life he deserves. 💕
