Look at Mufasa’s face and you will see a cat that has had a difficult life. His ears are frostbitten and his eyes are healing from severe infection.
When the animal control officer brought Mufasa into Responsible Pet Care he described him as a scrappy Tom cat. When his caregivers examined him he had blood on his teeth and looked like he had just been in a fight. He was a mess.
Mufasa did not know how to react to human care. He was frightened and spend most of his time hiding in a box in his kennel.
Fast forward to five months later. Mufasa’s injuries are healing. He is now running around the community room with several other cats. He approaches visitors and rubs against legs looking for attention. He’s a totally different cat.
Eight year old Mufasa needs a home. His outside life is over. He is ready to live a life of leisure with someone that loves him.
