Arrival Story:
I got an email that he was an eartipped cat, looking for his feral colony or a feral colony that could add him to their ranks, but on closer examination, he was unneutered and his ear was damaged, not eartipped - possibly from a fight. Since he was now classified as a stray, he was going to be put to sleep since no owner came forward to claim him and he appeared to be very aggressive. A friend and I decided to save him from that awful fate and add him to the feral colony she manages. AC&C named him Tucks (a play on tuxedo?) neutered, vaccinated & microchipped him, and we took him to go live with the other cats in the feral colony.
About two weeks later, I got a call from AC&C that Tucks was trapped again (the microchip linked him to a woman who works with ferals at AC&C,who then contacted me) did I want to come pick him up? So I sprung him from jail again, and found that although the shelter said he was feral & aggressive, he was actually quite sweet & friendly! We tried taking him home, but sweet demeanor was not his full time personality and he was often aggressive and attacked my daughter and myself quite a few times.
Bio:
*Update* Othello was not meant to be a member of our family. A couple of days after he came to live with us he became unpredictably aggressive, friendly and purring one second, attacking me and my daughter (repeatedly, biting so hard he broke skin several times) the next. The wonderful people at the ASPCA who called me when he was found offered to take him if things didn't work out and they were true to their word. They are working with Othello to socialize him and help him overcome whatever issues he has that cause his aggression.
