Music: This Week

Here's my new friend Cosmo, a charming boy pulled from a local shelter to save him from his imminent doom! Recently I've become a registered foster parent for rescue Devonshire Rex and Sphynx cats in the Austin area, working with the Siamese Rescue Alliance. Although Devon and Sphynx rescues are rare, there is (to our knowledge) no one to help with rescue around here, so I'm stepping-up. Here's my first rescue: Cosmo the Wonder Rescue! I would love to keep him but, alas, my own two kitties are already throwing a hizzy!

Would you like a new putty in your life? Cosmo is a very sweet and friendly boy, loves to be petted and MEOWS for you to keep doing it. If you really get him going he rolls over for the coveted belly scratch. He is a Devon, so his hair is short, curly, and very soft, and sometimes those who are allergic to cats can tolerate devons. He's a small kitty (check out his size next to the cordless phone) who is both active and likes laps too.

It is very sad that a family decided they wanted to send him to the pound. Their reason was that Cosmo was having tinkles outside of the box. Well, golly: if they would have taken him to a competent vet they would have learned he has a bacterial bladder infection! So, he's currently on a two week regimen of antibiotics and, since I've had him he's had no problem using the box. Once that infection is cleared up, he'll have no troubles in the tinkle department. The only reason you may not like Cosmo is that he likes to TALK. He's a chatty guy, likes to let you know where he is. If you want your kitties quiet and aloof, this guy is not your putty. If you want an active and loving boy who gives you lots of attention: Cosmo is you man! Here's a gallery of action shots. Drop me an email if you're interested.
