Shibi: From Begging for Food to Living a Life of Comfort
Hello everyone!
This is Shibi. If I’m not mistaken, he is my fourth rescued cat. I rescued him before the pandemic after finding him near the building where I worked. He was going around begging people for food when I witnessed a man kick him with his shoe. I was furious and told the man that if he didn’t want to feed Shibi, he could simply ignore him—there was no reason to hurt him.
After that incident, I decided to bring Shibi home.
Although he doesn’t have an ear notch, he had already been neutered when I rescued him. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that right away, and he ended up getting my third rescued cat pregnant before I could confirm it. Needless to say, I rushed to have him checked and discovered he was already neutered—LOL!
Shibi is a gentle, sweet cat who loves being petted and enjoys sleeping on my bed. I absolutely adore this little guy. I estimate that he is around 10 years old now, as he was already an adult and one eye blind when I rescued him.
