I'm hoping since he will be a house cat that it will be longer then that. He's not going back out. He's only 2 months so maybe he will have a fighting chance since we got him to the vet.
All my cats are once feral kittens. That statistic is to show how important vet care is. I'm sure cars, dogs, wild predators, infection, and other things of the like, are all factors in the high death rate.
