Teddy 15-049-C  |
We first met Teddy in 2015 at Black Gold pound. He was very thin, his teeth were in rough shape, and he was suffering from a skin condition over most of his body that had caused irritation, scabbing and hair loss. We figured he was about ten years old and immediately took him into NASAP's care. Teddy recovered his health in foster care and was adopted out quickly but due to no fault of his own, he returned to NASAP in 2017. Because he was showing early signs of renal and dental disease, the decision was made to keep him in permanent care with NASAP. Many wonderful and caring foster homes looked after Teddy during his time with NASAP and we thank each and every one of them for opening their homes and hearts to this truly special cat. Teddy had the best personality and Jenny always felt he was the nicest cat that crossed her path in over a decade volunteering with NASAP cat intake. Teddy loved love and he always wanted to be near people. He wanted to sleep on his own dedicated pillow right beside your head or under the covers, snuggled up against your body with his head rested on your shoulder. He was always crawling into warm caves that he fashioned out of blankets and he never missed an opportunity to play with string toys or ask for cat treats. Teddy had the most luxurious long, orange/cream tabby coat and the amazing staff at Catty Canines donated a bath and grooming every six weeks for him. Thank you so much to Chelsea for providing this incredibly important service to Teddy and so many other NASAP foster cats. Teddy also received excellent care from Dr. Fredlund, Dr. Ho and all the staff at Brintnell Veterinary Hospital. For the past several years he has required medications and subcutaneous fluids every couple of days and he always accepted everything like a true gentleman. He made it so easy to care for him. When his health finally took a turn for the worse that could not be managed, the decision was made to let him cross the rainbow bridge. He was humanely euthanized at Guardian Vet on November 20, 2021 while we held him in our arms and told him that we loved him.
