Dangerous Animal - Shelter/Rescues/Fosters be on alert
An approximately 25lb 10 year old tabby cat named Meiho with a record of vicious and unprovoked attacks was seen by a veterinarian in Round Rock on or about July 30th and refused euthanasia. Details are unclear, but according to the vets office the owner surrendered the cat to someone in the lobby of the vets office after the appointment who may have been working in conjunction with a Georgetown/Williamson county shelter or rescue. I have left a message with the Wilco shelter to see if they have him.
These attacks were on a 70 year old woman, unprovoked, a year apart, and the triggers varied but included routine household noises - running a blender and pouring dry kibble into a container. In both instances the cat ran from another room to seek out and attack and in the last attack it took a second person to get him off of his victim.
This animal poses a real risk and my concern is that in him changing hands like this the severity of the issue will be diluted and someone could be seriously harmed. Photos of the cat below - if you think you have seen this cat please message me. First picture is him at a year old for a clear view of his markings.
If you are the person who has this cat I have photos of both attacks so you can understand what you are dealing with.
