About Melrose Humane Society

The General was taken from a house with a LOT of cats. He was very friendly. He gets along well with other cats and we knew we could find just the right  home for him.

When we had his checkup at the vets, we found he has a missing eye.  It was determined that he may have been born that way and no medical procedures need to be done.  We also noticed that his white fur was yellow...stained that way from cigarette smoke.  It did not wash off - it just took time for his fur to grow out along with his diligent cleaning.  Some people were put off by the look of his missing eye and could not bear to look at him.   We worried about the bad effects of all that cigarette smoke on his lungs, but he seems to be OK.
