This is Jazzee. When she was 13, her previous owners wanted to have her euthanized. They had moved from an acreage to the city, and adopted a puppy and two kittens. Jazzee wasn’t adjusting well and started to use inappropriate places for defecating. They said they tried everything but nothing worked. They had her checked for health issues and she was fine. No rescue was able to take her. They were going to bring her to the vet to be put down but the clinic called me to help find her a home. I was given 2 days to find a country home for an old cat with behavioural issues. I really had no choice but to take her at least temporarily because I didn’t want her dead for no good reason. I talked to the owners directly. They actually said they hated her.

I took her home the day she was supposed to be euthanized. She was crying all the way home. I thought I was going to have a lot of work ahead of me. But once home, she was very lovey right away. Never once has she behaved inappropriately. She’s a loving, active, sprightly senior cat. She loves cuddles and having her fur brushed. Needless to say, she stays with us. She is now 17 and going strong. Every time I look at her I think she could have been dead years ago. This beautiful loving cat would have been killed for being stressed and unhappy. I’m happy she’s alive and enjoying her golden years.
