Five months ago a Sea Rancher had to move and was unfortunately not able to take her outdoor cat with her. The Humane Society then became involved at her request. John and Elizabeth Escher and Ralph and I have since provided foster care to this very fine cat.

We were told he was left at the Surf in a box with his mother and a sibling some years ago. He was adopted but rejected by this person's indoor cats therefore was fed and lived outdoors. With him in our homes we discovered he has some degree of blindness most likely since birth therefore the rejection by other cats. He was able to survive outdoors which is quite remarkable.

It was sad to initially observe him. He crept about and confined himself to a very small area in our home. However today with patient gentle care, Lincoln has come to know his surroundings and is indeed comfortable. He is a healthy, well-mannered cat. He enjoys laps, petting, well-behaved dogs and cats. He follows us about like a pup. A true delight! This is one of the best cats of which I have been involved. He brings scads happiness to those who know him. And, best of all, he is a very happy cat!

Lincoln now needs a permanent home with love and care. In the future as needed his vet care can be covered if requested and day/overnight care can be provided.

If you wish to know about Lincoln, please contact me at diannem@mcn.org or 785-0099 or the Eschers at 785-3848.
