Another visit to the vet with Jake. After last week of medication, the inflammation is significantly reduced so the vet could take a swab from deep inside of his right (the one with the problem) ear and the sample will be sent to the lab. Often those poor domesticated cats that lost homes for whatever reason and had to try to survive in the wild, get so stressed, that their immune system crashes.
That had happened to Benji and also to Jake.
He had so many problems when I found him - all got healed now. The ear is the last little problem that I want to make sure will be healed.
He still shakes his head sometimes, but it's not as often as before.
Because he needs to find a home, I want him to be in his best health.
Jake is getting very lonely and bored in the room on his own. Because he is so sweet, I tried recently many times to introduce him to my cats, thinking that maybe he could stay with me, but there are too many of them and some are less friendly than others, which sets him off to get all puffed up and stressed.
He would be ok with a cat friendly dog. I tried him with my dog and he was a little weary of her at the beginning, but because she did not bother him, he was ignoring her too.
Jake definitely needs more human contact than with other animals. He is extremely affectionate and intelligent - he talks and wants to interact all the time.
The results of the swab will come back in around a week, but would be great if he could be reserved or even go already to a right for him home, while we will be waiting to see if he will need any drops.
