Edgar is an 11 year old seal bicoloured Ragdoll. He was born in December 1996. Oscar is an 11 year old Brown Tabby Maine Coon and was born November 1996. Both boys are neutered.
Edgar and Oscar came into the the care of the UKRCC on 19th November, following the death of their owner.
They have both been fuly health checked. Both tested negative for FIV and FeLV and their geriatric blood tests were within the normal range , so there is no sign of liver or kidney disease. They also had thyroid tests, but these were normal. They are due to start a vaccination course in the next few days.
We were very concerned about a tumour in Edgars nose and did fear the worst, but the news regards this is very good. It is a benign tumour which has grown due to an abnormal inflammatory immune response and is now being treated with one tablet a week.
Oscar has a heart murmur, but the vet feels this may have been present from kittenhood and is not unduly worried.
Both boys have settled well with their foster Mum, Beth. Edgar is the more outgoing of the boys and he integrates well with Beth’s cats and the dog. He is gentle and friendly. Oscar is more quiet and although he has free access to the whole house now, he chooses to stay in one room and spends much time in his donut bed. He is gentle and happy to be groomed and handled.
Meet Edgar
As you will see from the photo the benign tumour, has caused a disfigurement of his face and a problem with his eye, which waters. He also breathes noisily, but the medication has brought about some improvment and Edgar is doing well. He is eating well and gaining weight.
Meet Oscar
We very much hope that someone will feel they can offer these boys the loving home they need. They deserve a forever home, where they can live out their twilight years, being loved and spoilt
Oscar and Edgar will need a quiet, child free home, where they will receive lots of love, care and attention. They have been used to having outdoor access, so will need a secure garden, well away from busy roads. They are life long companions and so they must be homed together.
If you can give a life long commitment to Edgar and Oscar and have the love and care to give them, to make their twilight years happy and comfortable, please complete our online form.
Thank you.
