Thomas
had been living in the caretaker’s home at the Johnson
County Fairgrounds until a terminal illness uprooted his family.
Unfortunately, Thomas’ (and his housemates’) continued
care had not been addressed before his dad’s health failed
and they lost their home as the household was suddenly dismantled.
This
amount of change makes a huge impression on a companion animal.
The triple shock of losing his caregiver, his home, and moving
into a foster situation was a burden. Thomas and his nephews
Mellow, and Khaki
have made many new friends in fostercare.
Thomas
has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and currently takes
one pill (Methimizole) twice a day. He’s very gentle and
was raised by senior citizens. Thomas
is becoming rather frail, but still gets around famously.
Thomas
is always cruising for laps. He loves to read and snuggle, and
he uses his front paws as if they were hands. Thomas is a loving,
non-competitive male who is very kind.
