Cat Picture of the Week: Chucky

This is Chucky; he is being fostered until his foot heals. We're not sure just how it got smashed but everything in the foot and all the toes are broken. The vet is not even sure we can save the foot. He is such a little trooper through all of this. He needs his cast changed every two weeks through the end of June. He loves to play and lie in a spot of sunlight and he is in heaven. He is the kind of cat that just plops into your lap. Pick him us and he is one ball of purr. What a love, and with any luck, in a couple of months, he will find his forever home. And he is beautiful...

Chucky's photo was submitted for the Tuxedo Cats Picture Gallery, and I immediately fell in love with this sweet little cat with the wounded "wing." H.A.L.O. (Homeless Animals Lifeline Organization) is an active rescue in my neck of the woods, and I often see its hard-working volunteers at my local pet food store. I'll keep my eyes open in coming months for Chucky, in the hopes that he finds a loving, forever home.

Because of a late start this month, Chucky's photo will count as Cat of the Week for the week ending last Saturday. The second Cat of the Week for May will be posted Saturday, May 10, 2008.

My Cat Pictures of the Week are chosen from general photo submittals, but only those submitted with all the information requested in my Photo Submittal Guidelines.
