Penny was in rough shape when she came into the care of the Ontario SPCA Lennox & Addington Animal Centre in Napanee. The 10-year-old cat needed urgent care to treat her ruptured eye.
After undergoing surgery, she made a remarkable recovery. But while her body healed quickly, finding her loving home took a little longer. Many potential adopters overlooked her, hesitant about her age and medical history, even though she greeted everyone with her warm and gentle spirit.
Then there’s Mia, a 15-year-old cat who came into the Lennox & Addington Animal Centre for rehoming. Like Penny, she faced medical challenges. She was bright and alert, but tests revealed she was battling hyperthyroidism. We knew that with proper treatment her condition could be managed, and Mia could enjoy many more happy years.
A second chance together
Both Penny and Mia were long-term residents at the centre, overlooked by potential adopters due to their age. But sometimes, all it takes is one caring heart to change a life – or two.
A devoted volunteer at the animal centre felt a strong bond with these two senior cats, recognizing their resilience and loving personalities. Inspired by their unwavering spirit, the volunteer decided to adopt them both, ensuring they experienced the love and security of a forever home together.
