Story
Becket is a sweet wonderful 9-year-old British Shorthair who had developed peritonitis 3 years ago after stealing some spicy leftovers. He ended up hospitalized, and developed complications from anaesthesia after they inserted a feeding tube. Becket fell into a coma, spending three weeks at home unconscious and immobile. Just when it looked hopeless, he miraculously recovered and gradually was able to regain his old physical condition in the course of next six months. The problem was that our two other cats just could't adjust to Becket's new ways of interacting with them which changed very subtly in him after that medical event but which the other cats seemed to pick up on, and never seemed comfortable with him after being best pals for years. We tried our best for two years to get them to move on, and now there are no stand-offs, but daily life is still quite stressful. At this time we feel it would be best for everyone if Becket could find a home with no other cats. Dogs are fine!
