Arthur Looks Like a Tough Old Tom, but is Actually a Softie

Introducing Arthur!

Arthur may look rough with his post-surgery shaved face but this special boy is actually well on his way to making a full recovery from a painful eye condition called entropion and had to be operated on both eyes, all four eyelids. Entropion is a condition in which the eyelids are turned inward. This means that the cat's eyelashes are turned in towards the eyeball, scratching the corneas and causing from discomfort, to eye ulcers and constant infections. Severe cases can cause the cat's fur to rub against their eyeballs so badly that they require surgery to correct it, as was the case for Arthur.

Arthur was rescued living as a stray. He turned out to be a big softie - this fluffy boy is very sociable and has quickly become a volunteer favourite. He has taken all the required treatment and eye cleaning that was needed after his surgery in his stride, and been gentle and tolerant throughout. He’s estimated to be approx 4-5 years old. Arthur has been FIV/FeLV tested and is negative for both. His eyes are healing well and he’s in great health and now ready to find a new home, all neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and in his way to full health.

We are looking for a home with outdoor access in a safe location for Arthur. As he is very sociable he could potentially live in a home with cat-savvy and/or gentle children. In general he’s just looking forward to finding a loving forever home of his own so he can put his time living as an abandoned cat behind him and start enjoying home comforts again and the guarantee of a full bowl of food every day and vet care as and when he needs it! As his fur grows back, he’s sure to turn into a superbly handsome boy again.

Arthur is at our rehoming hub in Greenwich SE2.
