***SAFE 06/26/16***12 YEAR OLD DUMPED FOR URINATING OUTSIDE THE LITTER BOX….BUT NOT NEUTERED!!! Now, this 12 year old also came in underweight, dehydrated and a “kitty cold,” also muscle atrophy. So it’s possible that a health concerns is the reason for URINATING OUTSIDE his litter box. BUT, right off, anyone knows that a male cat that is not neutered will spray/and /or urinate outside the litter box. But his previous owners, who has had him since he was a kitten, hadn’t even taken him to a vet in the past 5 years! Perhaps, they also didn’t want to, which is why he is sick NOW! They idiotically brought him to a high kill shelter and now getting better and fighting for his life is happening all at once! PLEASE, offer to FOSTER OR ADOPT MAC and give this sweet guy a home that’s for keeps this TIME!
