Yakushima Home for Infirm Cats

This is Shogun. It's hard to say if he likes being held like this.


Brittany heard some stray kittens mewing near her house so she decided to adopt one. It turned out that the kitten was only a couple weeks old and needed intensive care. Once we determined that it wasn't eating and that we couldn't care for it properly we brought it to the local vet who gave him food via tube.

After a few days at the vet clinic we got him back along with 2 special kitten foods, a nursing bottle, two different kinds of eye medication and kitty de-worming pills. (All medicine, food, care, and 3 nights stay cost only 70 dollars). He looked pretty sickly still when we got him back but he's doing a lot better now.

I'll take some new photos to show how much healthier he looks already. He's eating regularly and off his medication. The only thing missing is a name. Any ideas out there?

Oh gawsh, I wish I could think of a name for him. Anyway, he's sooo cute! If it weren't so costly, I would adopt him.

Thanks for the update, Stew. What a cute kitty. Is it a male or female? We need to know so we can pick a name -- XXXXX00000

I think you should name him Karma. Mom

Or Neko-chan.

I call all my cats Neko-chan. I like Ebi. Oscar is Ava's dog's name so that's not really gonna work.
Karma is a good idea, I'll run them past Brittany. I'm thinking the next ALT might end up naming him if Britt doesn't.
