THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS FOR ALL THE LOVE FOR PIPPIN. We are happy to say that she will be going to her new home this weekend! It was a tough decision, but we feel that we made the right choice for Pippin and her well-being.
This is going to be a bit of a weird request, but hear us out.
We currently have a 19+ year old cat named Pippin at our shelter. Her mom has been sent to permanently live in a nursing home, and she has no family or friends who are able to take Pippin in. Pippin has lived her entire life as an only pet, with only her mom for company. She is quite lively for her age, but can be cranky at times like only an old-lady cat can. She hates dogs, but is a bit more tolerant of cats, especially if they leave her alone. She is currently up to date on her vaccinations, but is showing signs of developing kidney issues. What we are hoping is that someone out there would be willing to take Pippin in for whatever time she has left, so she doesn't have to live the rest of her life out here, in a cage. Unfortunately, we can't offer much in the way of financial help, but we can promise to take care of her end-of-life transition at our vet, when that time comes. We have no idea how much time Pippin has left; it could be a week, it could be a year or so. Neither ACO can take her home, as we both have dogs, and Pippin really does hate them. When she goes home, she'll be provided with dry and canned food, a bed, and a carrier. There will be no adoption fee required, we just want her to have a happy place to live out the end of her days. Please contact our office at 860-447-5231 if you might be willing to open your heart and home to this poor old lady.
