Mabel

Mabel came to us all the way back in November 2023 after being found taking residency in a gentleman's shed out of the cold. She was checked over by a vet who then told us about her heart murmur along with suspected hyperthyroidism as she was quite an elderly lady with an age estimate of around 12. As well as this Mabel was also severely dehydrated, skinny & malnourished which we spent weeks slowly building her weight back up so we didn't over-power her. We at the rescue understood rehoming Mabel wasn't going to be easy as a special type of home and person understanding of her needs was needed.

That's where we found the kindest girl, with a heart of gold who specifically wanted an elderly or special needs cat, so we introduced her to Mabel and she fell in love. A few weeks later once the vets were happy Mabel was able to go to her new home on the 16th of January 2024, it was lovely to see this elderly girl find her happy ever after. 

Unfortunately after a happy couple of weeks, Mabel started to rapidly loose weight again, despite being fed more then ever to try and keep it on. Medication was issued, this too didn't do much either, eventually her breathing to started going and between the heart murmer & her hyperthyroidism (which had been diagnosed at this point) the kindest thing was too let her go and she was taken to the vets where her new owner was with her and she passed away peacefully on the 6th of March 2024. 

Though Mabel's happy ever after wasn't years, we are so glad and happy and thankful that from her being rescued in November till her passing in March she was able to experience at least a few months of care, love and happiness, where she was warm, had regular meals and was safe + comfortable. We are thankful to the kind lady who adopted her giving her that chance and for always doing right by her. R.I.P Queen Mabel.
