Once Neglected, Arcadius Now Travels the World

Arcadius came to my rescue starving and scared, but with a hopeful spirit.

He was infested with fleas and mites, and covered in open wounds. His owner was a hoarder, and did not physically beat him as most of the rescues I take in, but could not provide enough food for the pets. There was also many cat fights, based on the number of claw wounds, which is common in households with too many cats.

Arcadius was skitty, having not had much physical attention due to the mass amount of pets, and needed careful and patient handling to show him human hands could be trusted. His physical wounds healed fairly quickly but his trust took the longest. He also had to learn there was now enough food to go around, and no longer needed to choke down his meals! This boy literally inhaled his food for weeks, and even came down with a nasty bout of pneumonia from aspirating his bites.

His new Mom accepted a rotating teaching position in Europe shortly after adoption. Arcadius is currently savoring fine cheeses while enjoying views of the Eiffel tower and Parisian nightlife from his lovely loft window perch.
