Re: Meet Scruffy


What about a baby's/small childs babygro or jumper ........... they should be quite cheap to pick up from a Charity shop ? I'm sure it could be adapted somehow to fit the little fella!

yes Mags, I was thinking the same.I've got some large dolls jumpers here, that would do the trick.I'll get the girls to take a look & sort me one out to try.
I'll see how hairy he is when he comes back from the vets, but all his abdomen will have to be shaved, all his neck & chest & most of his back..

awww bless he is such a sweetie. Such a shame people abandon these lovely cats and allow them to get into this state and have to fend for themselves

This link is quite good ..... http://www.groovycatsanddogs.com/ ........... you could probably get some ideas how to adapt a doll's jumper into a cat jumper

That's the best course of action.
I got a fab thick down jacket for Danny, my old lurcher, when he had an op on his shoulder and had to be padded so it didn't rest on hard floor etc amnd so it healed. £3 at Help the Aged. My vet was very impressed and asked for the jacket post-treatment, for the next oatient.
here he is






A kiddies coat, buttoned or zipped at the back might hit the spot for Scruffy?
Wish him all the best - he deserves a write-up in the local paper Smudgley - that'll get him a home.
