Permanent Residents

Meet Buster, President of Paws Inn, Chief of all he sees. In December 2007 Buster will celebrate his 22nd birthday! This is his story as told by Teresa, Chief Slave of Paws Inn:

"I can never choose a cat of my own because so many rescues come in needing long term if not permanent care.

Buster is one such unhomeable, we affectionately refer to him as The President of Paws Inn despite the fact that Minimopsical has other ideas.

Buster`s story with us began almost 10 years ago when we got a late night cry for help from the vet nurse. An alcoholic 80-year-old had caught Buster in a make shift trap the size of a small budgie cage, he had been in there 2 days as a punishment for stealing her cats food. The cage was so small he was unable to move, a piece of fish was dangled teasingly outside, poor Buster didn't even have room to toilet. He was in a very angry and sorry state.

For the next 7 months Buster bit and scratched me at every opportunity and I despaired of ever calming him, then one sunny July afternoon he decided we were ok people and overnight became a cuddlebum.

Some lovely people offered Buster a home and he shot off down the garden and refused to come back until they had gone, this happened on more than one occasion.

I think maybe Buster knew problems lay ahead and chose to stay. He had urinary problems with crystals and eventually when all treatment failed we were given the choice of PTS or a P.U. ( like a sex change) which at the time had a very low survival rate.

We chose the operation and the rest is really history. It was discovered at the time of the operation that Buster had a grade 4 heart murmur and has spondylitis of the spine; he has been on monthly injections for years now and the vet advised against rehoming him.

Buster celebrates his Birthday on 8th December the date he was rescued, he will be 22 this year and a purrfectly lovable rogue.

Guess the moral to Buster`s story is never give up on behavioural problems, and certainly never be afraid to take on an older cat."
