A “strange creature” has been found in critical condition at the home of an elderly man suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. When vets discovered her, they were stunned. They had never seen anything like it.
A huge hairy spider? That’s what you might think of Hidey’s sight. Yet it is only a cat. A miserable poor cat victim of an owner who did not take care of her properly.
The latter, suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, entered a retirement home, leaving his two cats, Hidey and Siam, completely on their own in his house. Fortunately, one of his distant relatives, named Paul Russel, remembered the presence of these cats . So he went to the old man’s home without imagining for a single second what he was going to find …
While looking around the house for the cats, a huge beast appeared from under the bed , before running into the cellar. Although scared, Paul Russel decided to follow her. And when he was finally able to get his hands on him, he discovered with horror that this monstrous-looking animal was… just a cat. A cat, more exactly.
900 grams of hair!
Hidey had such tangled hairs that they formed huge dreadlocks. Paul Russel immediately drove her to the Animal Rescue League Shelter and Wildlife Center where she was treated. She had to be anesthetized to shave her.
In total, more than 900 grams of hair were removed, revealing beautiful curves: obviously, Hidey was overweight . This is probably one of the reasons she was found in such a condition, with obese cats having a harder time grooming themselves. Besides, her elderly master suffering from dementia did not help matters …
But luckily for her, the poor cat had the soul of a conqueror.
