eric is i think 8 or 10 yrs old. He is outdoor cat and very sick now. He lost lots of weight and is very slim. His voice is gone. He refuse to eat. I need to put him inside coz I have to force him to drink hydrite water. The only thing I can give is rice and ground pork. Most of the cats are very sick. I will try to hydrate him and give him lysine. I have vitamin c with lysine and i melted it in water. Though it might upset his tummy if he doesn't eat. it's hard to care for many stray animals especially if there is not enough money. I took eric a few yrs ago from brgy in qc. They were having a party i think somebody's birthday then this cat came in they got angry and shoo him away. He was upset and pawting outside. I felt sorry for him so i told the driver of tricycle to adopt him but he refuse said there's many cats in their place. I was hesitating to take him but i just did it anyway. He is outdoor and just drops by to eat. He is very sweet, kind, gentle cat. Never scratch and very gentle. He loves everyone cats and dogs. I rarely see him and now he is very sick with virus too. He is sneezing the other day. He was okay with infection but his immune lowered due to malnutrition since he doesn't eat much of what I can give. I am afraid of the black butterfly circulating outside the backyard. I hope it doesn't come in here. I will try to save eric and force him to eat or drink atleast. I don't have another cage so I will just put him in the room to monitor. if he is downstairs he jumps out the window. This is also one of mommy dogs favorite cat, they are close and I don't like him to die like mommy dog. Eric is shy and timid cat, if others eat he goes away and wouldn't share food. He hates the ground pork too. It's hard to budget for their special meal. Two things kills the animals, virus and malnourishment. If they don't eat they will be much weaker and easy to die from virus. Everyone here is infected that's why i don't like to have more cats and dogs here. Once they are infected it's lifetime and they become high maintenance. It flares up and keeps attacking them. They are shedding it too. The malnutrition weakens them. Sometimes I think euthanasia is better for strays because there is not enough good human and it's too expensive to help them for life. If I call peta they will just ignore me. Shelters are crowded, animal are dying in misery in those places. To be honest, it's too stressful for me and I can't even take care of myself. It's just that I can't stop helping them coz i feel so bad when i see them in misery. You won't understand if you are selfish and insensitive.

eric is i think 8 or 9 yrs old. I found him at brgy of quezon city congressional. He went inside the office and they got angry with him, he smelled the food because i think there was birthday. He was upset and pawting outside. I felt sorry for him, i ask tricycle driver to adopt him but he said there's plenty if cats in their area. I was hesitating but couldn't walk away so i pick him up and during the ride at jeepny, a guy with a child was annoyed with me. He feels disgusted with the cat so he wants me to move to another seat far away from them. I brought eric home but he likes outdoor life. After some years i moved again and took him here in my new place. He is very sweet and gentle, he will never scratch you. He shy away when there's many cats, he doesn't eat with others so I have to watch him and separate hus food. But my budget now is smaller than before that's why I cannot give them the proper nutrition. He is getting so skinny and sick with virus infection. He refuse to eat sawdust pork meat that i'm ordering online. Now I am giving him mackerel and chix plus lysine and vitamins, hydrite to recover from severe dehydration and malnourishment. He loves all cats and dogs he likes to rub on everyone. I remember a few years ago he brought me a bat 😱, i was so scared. He also got bitten by so many smaragdina ants from the tree coz two black savage dogs of neighbor here chase him upto my yard. He climb the tree and he was crying so bad from ant bites. He went down and run in my house I panic coz there's so many ants all over him and on the floor. I tried to remove the ants in his body. He went polka dots coz it made his skin bald. The bites of ants made round bald shapes. It took several months before his hair went back to normal. He is a very sweet boy and now he is very sick. I am monitoring his condition and need to keep him indoors and force feed him. I hope he recovers and stays longer. I can't find good people with good life that can adopt so many strays. Eric is already neutered.
