He's a handsome cat and I love his eyes!
We adopted him 8 months ago, presumably at age 12-14. He was rescued from a 3rd-story porch in Chicago in November 2018 during a cold snap by a member of our favorite local shelter: Felines and Canines. An employee who was terrified of heights, yet was so compelled to save this guy, braved the heights and unglued his nearly frozen body from the deck and brought him to the shelter. They nursed him back to relative health, but he was damaged and virtually unadoptable, with badly cauliflowered ears from years of infections, rotten teeth, and an intense fear of everything. But just a few moments with him at the shelter revealed a personality we couldn't resist.
Within just a few days, he was purring up a storm and cuddling up to my leg, as you see in the pic. Turns out, this old, damaged cat that fears everything also has a heart of gold so rich that it, by far, makes up for whatever extra care he needs.......and his littterbox-destroying tendencies.
His name is Oscar. And he will poop in a tupperware container from now on.

Bobcat. But don't tell him that, he doesn't know.Hey, sorry I missed this a few weeks back. You have a 50 lb cat!?!!? Please describe!
We try not to think about whatever horrible situations he faced , and whatever trauma he's endured. It's just too painful to imagine.OMG! I am so glad for your rescue group and that he got his furever home with you. Poor baby - probably never knew love and comfort til he met you. Love those Oscar cuddles!
