Poor Scarface is exactly that, with a face covered in old scars and cuts. BUT this boy has a spirit that is indomitable. Born sometime in the fall of 2015 in the country of Qatar, Scarface is approximately 3 years old. Scarface had a very sad early life until he was finally rescued by an angel from Paws Rescue Qatar in July 2016. He turned up one day to seek refuge in the residential compound she lived in, severely beaten up. Our PAWS angel started to feed him, gained his trust until she was finally able to treat his wounds. He spent his time recuperating in the angel’s car port and with time and without threats from other street cats, his wounds healed. He became friendly and despite testing positive for FIV, Scarface made a remarkable recovery.

The compound was not an animal friendly one, so even though he was safe from other cats beating him up, his life was threatened with human abuses including food poisoning. {shudder} For his own safety, he was moved to the Paws Rescue Qatar retreat living in the friendlies’ communal room with other friendly cats and the retreat’s resident rabbit. Despite his former life as a street cat, Scarface is now incredibly sociable and is always the first one to run up to people for cuddles. Scarface tolerates other cats and is never aggressive with them. He lives happily with them but keeps his distance. He isn’t one to curl up with them but is happy to be around them. He will tell them when they are too close and the worst he does is the odd tap to the head. LOL – scary right? Here at Rikki’s Refuge, Scarface is a favorite of the staff and is just a really pleasant dude!
