	Hey all! Last night my mom found the SWEETEST adult stray male at a local playground. According to the kids playing there, he's been hanging around the playground for 2-3 wks. He had a wound over his eye & was missing a patch of hair on his left side. However, he's a beautiful russian blue color and SO sweet. Mom picked him up, cuddled him, he played with the kids, ect. She just couldn't leave him. She got him in her car (where he purred the whole time) and took him to the 24 animal hospital. They refused to treat him because "he's not your cat" they said. They said she'd have to call animal control. She called animal control & they agreed to meet her at the animal hospital & take him from there. Mom just talked to the animal shelter & he's there. He will only have 5 days if no one adopts him. OBVIOUSLY, we are NOT going to let this sweet man get killed!!!! Any of you who know us know that we already have a 7 cat family & introducing a grown male would be chaos. If any of you have any ideas or know of where she could turn from here, mom is willing to pay his adoption fee & drive him where ever he could have a good home. Any guidance is appreciated! Thank you!

	Maybe get in touch with a Russian Blue rescue group? I know with dog (breed) rescue groups, most will take a dog even if he is a mix of their breed.

	hey rockee, if you can find a rescue group, like athena suggested, that would be great, if, not,you will need to pull him out, and either foster him, or, find a no kill shelter that can take him. still do not understand why the vet would not work on him, if, you were paying for it, and, thats surpose to be there job, no, matter who's owns the kitty, i think it was just a way to dump the poor thing on someone else. good luck, lets us know what happens.
