Murphy the cat, from my "Animal Cops: Boston" thread over the summer. His owner is finally going into a nursing home, and the facility doesn't take pets. None of the local shelters will accept older animals, and his owner's family was afraid that if we didn't take him the only option was to have him put down. We will foster Murphy for a month or two, but can't keep him permanently; our lease forbids pets (we can get away with short-term boarding as long as somebody's home if maintenance shows up) and we're really not in a position to take on future medical costs.
He's a total sweetie and has lived with another older cat, although we don't know how he is around dogs or younger cats. Right now, Murphy takes thyroid medication (methimazole) twice a day and is on special food for his kidneys; his shots are up to date and we can try to get copies of all his vet records. We estimate his age to be between 8 and 12 years old.
We're in the Boston area; if anyone around would be willing to adopt him, or knows anyone who would, let me know.
