Two and a half years ago, we rescued a senior cat we named Rose.
Rose was microchipped when we got her. Using the chip number, we were able to locate and speak with her adopter, who now lived out of the area. The adopter got Rose home, let her outside, and that was the last time they ever saw her.
Several years later, Rose ended up at a community cat colony at an assisted living facility. That's when we got the call from the colony's caregiver about her. The caregiver was worried about this new cat who looked elderly and was having trouble walking.
We got Rose over to our vet, and she checked out relatively healthy except for some muscle loss in her back legs and pretty much missing all her teeth. She went to our adoption coordinator's house to recover and never left.
Her new family gave her the best two and a half years a cat could hope for. Yesterday, Rose died peacefully surrounded by the people and animals who loved her. She was indoors, safe, comfortable, and very loved.
Rest in peace, sweet girl.
