Irvin is a very sweet and sociable young cat (under one year).  He is in rescue because, in late March of this year, a driver saw him energetically, happily running across a major thoroughfare in Newark – holding one limb aloft.  It was clear that he had a grave injury to his leg.  Thankfully, we were able to get him into care the very next day and, after several weeks of casting that limb, he is now in perfect condition.  Irvin was most definitely the “leader of the pack” on his block – his exuberant run across a very dangerous street (despite his pain and lameness) was followed by several more cats, all trying to get to a meal.  Irvin loves to be held and stroked.  He is a very intelligent young cat.  He needs an understanding home, with a guardian who knows of his difficult road to rescue.  If interested please fill out an application at EHRcats.org.
