nutmeg deceided to adopted US 3 years ago when he started appearing around the garden to our hse, he was obviously a stray by his condition and was desperate for food and the occasional fuss at a distance. But over a period of 1 year with much patience and love he joined our family. He has been neutered but still continues to fight not forgetting his days earlier when the strongest survived. Unfortunately today he has been diagnosed with FIV after several bouts of illness i feel sad and frightened for him and us as we embark on a journey that neither of us know how long it will be , l just pray that i can care and love him through this illness the way that he has loved us WE LOVE YOU NUTMEG XX
