You might have seen Blair before. In October, he will have lived at Tinker’s Legacy for a year. Previously, he was living on the streets for some time and came in with lesions on his head and body. He also had lice, broken teeth and an ulcer on his tongue. The vets at SPCA cleaned his wounds and treated his skin; they removed five teeth, and he was on a feeding tube for several weeks. The vets here say he has fully recovered. Blair might have never known what a touch feels like, but now he enjoys being petted and chasing a laser light. He gets along with other cats and loves napping on the screened patio. Blair’s wish is for a quiet home with a patient person who will give him time to blossom. He loves canned food and rotisserie chicken, so use those to bond with him. Come meet Blair in Tinker’s Legacy at SPCA Florida. For more information, visit www.spcaflorida.org.
