Let Me Be Your Sunshine

This little cat will bring a ray of sunshine into your life.

Editor’s Note:  The Cat of the Week feature is written and submitted by Gail Bowers, a volunteer at the Seal Beach Animal Care Center where the animals are available for adoption. The shelter is at 1700 Adolfo Lopez Drive, Seal Beach, (562) 430-4993.

Hi, I am Yellow Sun. I am about 8 years-old but could easily pass for 5.  I was a Seal Beach stray brought to SBACC by a nice lady who had been feeding me for a while but thought I would be much safer here.

The inside of my mouth was in real bad shape when I arrived and everyone thought it was a wonder that I could eat because I had severe stomatitis (a painful inflammation of the gums and oral cavity). I also had decayed teeth and abscesses. I have since had oral surgery, and all my teeth have been pulled (they say this is the only treatment for this condition). My mouth is feeling great now. I have discovered that a cat does not need his teeth to eat, and I enjoy both my wet and dry food.

Despite all these problems, I am a friendly boy who enjoys petting and attention from the volunteers. I would love to have my own home and I get along just fine with other cats.
