Tribute to Fuzzmom, House of DCSPCA
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.
