He has quite the strength to keep his rear legs under him and he does have feeling (reflexes) in both rear paws but that's the extent of our exams. I don't want to do more damage than good by messing around with him. He sleeps fine and isn't screaming or meowing in pain so I take that as another positive although they are quite good at hiding their feelings.

Your kind heart will be rewarded. What a beautiful cat..hopefully he'll blend in well.

I'm taking the above as a good prognosis. Any chance of a pellet gun wound? Hard to spot those...but an xray would reveal more. Too many sick individuals out there...
