What a sad situation.

Another thought on the subject.......just last night I was watching a program about "Therapy Dogs" - these great big slobbering bundles of doggy love are taken to visit the sick and elderly (typically people confined to nursing homes, with no pets of their own), and also to orphanages etc. (They interviewed doctors and care-givers and they allconfirmed that the old folks were more animated and excited whilst and after the dogs visited, and it was especailly beneficial to those who didn't have regular family visitors.

Wouldn't it be great if these two elderly cats could be placed at a nursing home or frail care center? Think of the positive benefits which the residents would get from daily contact with animals.
Just a thought - maybe someone could make a few calls?
