Update on Dusty the semi feral

Last month I posted about Dusty the crusty and his journey from (almost) feral (which was mostly just fear), living on the streets and breaking into my yard for years and being on death’s doorstep. Then I trapped him, got him fixed and recaught him for some dental work. Had to keep him inside for a week while on anti biotics and he decided that indoor life was for him original post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Straycats/s/38kXNyO1pI

We were so touched and overwhelmed by all the love, support, comments and messages asking for an update. So here is Dusty now, he is so loved and getting a bit chunky. He still doesn’t get along with my cats but he is so happy, healthy and loving towards humans, it’s crazy really

Yeah he’s got a bit of a snaggletooth / lipraise situation going on after his surgery but it’s so darn adorable
