Harrow was found by Alley Cat Rescue, and his preceding years could only be described as less than amazing. After getting him cared for at the Rescue, Harrow was then introduced to the kittens... and his eyes lit up! He immediately took to them, and they to him. They are now giving him the love he very much needs. And our hearts are so full.
Harrow kept trying to go back to his old home where he lived with his owner, but was sadly shunned away from the new tenants.
The outdoor life isn't for everyone, and was very difficult on poor Harrow. Covered in battle scars, and his left ear withered due to infections. Thank goodness, the TNR (trap-neuter-return) rescuers of Alley Cat Rescue in Los Angeles happened to be in the area when they learned of Harrow. They immediately whisked him off the streets and into their loving care.
Alley Cat Rescue shared with Love Meow Harrow's story, stating, "His hair was all matted and his one ear is totally mangled. He has stomatitis and his teeth are broken off. He is an intact male cat, never neutered. He has really been through the wars."
Alley Cat Rescue continues to say, "Despite being treated so badly, he purred throughout his examination at the vet and talked to the staff in the clinic. He is here and willing to fight, so we are going to support him and fight with him."
The next step was to give him a much needed fresh start, starting with a nice clean coat. The sweet tabby rolled around purring while getting the hair cut.
"After six days of removing all of his matted hair, this gentle giant got a much needed shower. He was an angel, he loves the rubs and purred the whole way through," Alley Cat Rescue said.
