Lucy - returned :(

Adopted only a week ago, this girl was returned because - she pooped out of the box! If you read the post below, this was the reason she was facing euthanization; we thought the woman understood this, but evidently she thought it wouldn't happen. Her time is still limited, but we have a few weeks grace period... Here we go again - ********* 14 years old, and her humans took her to a shelter and left her. Why? Apparently this older girl occasionally has a few poops outside the box. She uses her litterbox, but you know - sometimes that poop doesn't make it. I find it interesting how easily humans abandon their aging loved ones. I was taught to love even more as they got older - be it my animals, my parents, anyone of value in my life. This girl doesn't understand why she is in a cage, all alone. She doesn't know that even humans can lose some sensation "down there" when they get old, and can make mistakes. Lucy is a nice cat, and while there are the occasional poops out of the box, they are small and hard, easy to pick up and throw away. She has had blood work done that shows she is basically healthy - all she needs is a soft warm bed and someone to give her some love. And be accepting that sometimes there is a little mess to clean up - but only a little. She is at a local shelter, and if no home is found by the end of March, her time will be up. I only wish her people could have cared enough to be the ones to hold her at the end, if that is to be. Obviously, there is no fee for Lucy. If you have it in your heart to give her that soft place to sleep and live for the last few years of her life, contact Michele at [email protected] - and Thank you.
