We started Marlee’s Misfits, in part, so we could rescue the oldest cats. We want to make sure even if we are the last home for them, every senior we take is shown so much love and given a comfortable and peaceful retirement. When we heard about the 21 year old cats in need, we knew we needed to help.
Baby and Mr. Grey arrived a couple of weeks ago and were so happy to be spoiled and loved on after living in a shed for the past year or so. They each got their own fountain, a soft heated bed, and lots of pets and cuddles. They ran around and played like cats 1/4 of their age, but we knew they had a lot of medical needs, many of which had been untreated for years.
This past weekend, Baby suddenly declined and crossed the rainbow bridge on her terms. She was loved and cuddled until the very end.
Mr. Grey is cuddled next to me and seems to be doing well for a super old man. He is still up for adoption for however much time he has. We still believe he would be happiest with a senior cat buddy.
When we take seniors, we don’t know how much time they have, but it is worth seeing the peace and love in their faces when they know they are safe.
Please consider adopting a senior. You’ll never regret the love they show. And please, get your senior cats bloodwork. It’s better to treat things early than learn they have been silently struggling.
Baby was a true fighter with the biggest heart. Our time was short but we will love you forever!
