Temporary foster for Archie while Matthew recovers in hospital
A short-term foster for a calm ginger cat in El Paso while the owner recovers.
🇺🇸 El Paso, Texas, United States1,340 views
I'm going into inpatient treatment on Monday, for about 5 weeks, and I have no family nearby to look after Archie, my nine-year-old ginger cat. Archie is gentle, house-trained, good with children and other animals.
I'm looking for a temporary foster within El Paso. I'll provide food, bedding and medication, and cover the vet costs. Archie is vaccinated, neutered and microchipped.
I'd love to share regular updates and photos, and I'd love to pay it forward by volunteering at the shelter when I'm better.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Laval.
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of El Paso.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Matthew. Give Archie a hug from me. Wish I lived closer to Nuremberg so I could bring a meal
Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of El Paso!
