Fuzzmom was mostly white, with patches of dark grey, and was probably
five to ten years old. *Fuzzmom and her grown kitten were private
surrenders to the Dutchess County SPCA in Hyde Park, NY. *The young one
went to its OneTrueHome, but Fuzzmom was diagnosed with kidney failure
and placed on a special diet. *Fuzzmom remained available for adoption
as a special needs cat, and enjoyed being held, but nobody adopted her,
though I tried to give her attention when I was there.

After a while it became clear that she was going downhill. *She was
moved to the free-range room (where a special diet wasn't possible) so
she wouldn't spend her last days in a cage. *For the first few months,
she just hung out with the other cats and slept in the sun. *Then she
started hiding as best she could, and snarled when touched, probably
because she was in pain, but every time I was there I checked on her.
Eventually one day she wasn't there, and I wasn't surprised to be told
that she had been helped to the Bridge.
