Welcome Home Bart!!!

Hi Friends! While watching the noon news today, mom saw a spot for a kitty that needed a forever home. Metro Animal Services had a "empty the shelter" event over the weekend. All of the cats & kittens were adopted...except Bart. You see, Bart is an "old man". He is 15 years old, and he has what humans call a cauliflower ear. It's not clear if his ear was damaged from infection or a fight. Bart is also a front paw declaw.  Mom kept thinking about him so she decided to go take a look at him.

Bart was relaxing in his cubicle at the shelter. Mom was able to open the door and pet him. He was very sweet and that was all it took. She filled out the paperwork and within 30-45 minutes Bart was coming home with her.

Our vet was able to check Bart out. He has a clean bill of health. The vet said Bart should have his teeth clean due to a tartar build up, but we are waiting on the results of his blood work. If that comes back good, then she will schedule a cleaning.

Here is Bart's bio from the shelter's Facebook page. It says he weighs 15 lbs, but that's incorrect. He weighed in at just under 13 lbs at the vet's office. Bart is a long haired chonky boy.
