Well after about 4 years of taking care of this FIV+ sump cat by the train station where I'd get the train back from work, he finally lives in my house. The winter got tough for him so I basically stuffed him in a trap, hes about 8 at this point with very few teeth. He was set up in a big enclosure in the garage for a while, and took to it so well I couldn't in good conscience let him back outside. Picture from a couple years ago:
He's living in a big german shepherd crate with a big playpen around it now in the house, and suprisingly behaving really well. At this point taking him to a vet isn't really an option, he seems healthy and he's behaving because he really bonded with me, but he's basically an 8 year old feral who sees me as a companion cat at this point.
Here he is today:
Been giving him dental treats, I can clean his ears and eyes but he doesn't like his mouth messed with. He lost most of his teeth years ago. Wondering if anyone has any advice on what I can give him to help with the dental situation, He doesn't have any noticeable issues with his mouth at this point but his breath is pretty bad. The only thing im worried about at this point is mouth issues with the fiv.
