A beautiful orange Angora named Hannah was taken in at Clinton Veterinary Hospital in Clinton, Mass by a technician that knew she still had much love to give. She was a diabetic diagnosed shortly after her owner of 13 years passed and cared for by a family friend. Her diabetes proved to be difficult for the owner to control and was seeking help. The options were to euthanize or surrender to the hospital on a whim knowing she was not ready to say goodbye.
Two months after being surrendered, Hannah was in diabetic remission and no longer required insulin on a daily basis. She continued her days on the ack porch enjoying the warm sun and dinnertime with her adopted Persian brothers, Moby and Dilly. She was a fighter until the end. On August 29, 2022, we said goodbye to Hannah and she gave every fighting chance she had. No matter what, she wanted to keep going.
Hannah is our hero and encouragement to know that many, if not all, senior kitties deserve every chance to continue sharing their love and companionship. Let Hannah be the reason to help allow our senior feline friends to remain on this earth as long as they were intended.
