> Noone's claimed the cat my friend found about 10 days ago. I'd like to try to

> euthanize sometimes there.
>
> He's a young adult short-hair male.
> He's VERY friendly, loves getting scratched and pet, and purrs a lot. He was
> purring and looking for love right out of the cat carrier when he was brought
> in from the street.
> He's litter trained and eats well.
> He's got no fleas. I haven't taken him to the vet yet though.
>
> The only thing is that he did bite/scratch me a couple times, seems like when
> I moved my hand too quickly in front of him and he felt threatened. After each
> time he backed down and waited for me to reach out to him again to "make up".
> So he should have someone with patience and who knows how to treat a cat
> that's probably been traumatized. He's scared of my shoes sometimes when I
> move to close to him unexpectedly. My cat was like that when I got her off the
> street and she quickly came round to trust me completely.
