Below: Dr. Chandra Meachem-Tucker, left, gives Bojangles an exam at Riverside Animal Hospital. Bojangles was brought to the hospital by the Humane Society at the request of Fuller after she received an eviction notice.

Bojangles was diagnosed with Feline immunodeficiency virus (the feline equivalent of HIV), mild heart worms, fleas, cuts, bruises, and other ailments, but according to Meachem-Tucker he could live a long and happy life with treatment and caring owners.
