Poor kitty.

I'm so glad that the man got her back and then brought her to you. Now she's going to live the rest of her life in a wonderful caring loving home.

Welcome home Taboo!!!

What a story! Poor girl. How these people could do this to such a sweet old lady

But I am glad she is with you now. She will live quietly, well cared and loved

Morning update.

She eats! that's good. She's understandably upset and growling. She peed on the bedding and not in the box provided (now that worries me)

She'll settle.

Oh the poor, sweet baby! How cruel people can be! They can also be wonderfully kind, though, as you have been for lucky little Taboo, lucky b/c she's in your hands now. The expression on her face is priceless, though, Jen. How adorable. I can't wait to see her after she's settled in and her fur grows back and is well groomed. Kudos to you, Jen, and lots of lovin' for that sweet ol' gal.

Horrible! Those folks should be reported.

Bless you for taking in dear Taboo. Can you tell if she is skinny because they didn't feed her, or because she is old maybe ill? I guess time will tell.

Dear Taboo, things are going to get better sweetie.

Poor Taboo. Hopefully the peeing was because she was very upset. I hope she eats well for you and is healthy. Thanks for taking such a sweet old girl.

I got Mr Fluffy more or less the same way Jen. His Guardian who loved him had to go to a Petless Nursing Home so My Dear Friend Norma Broadbent brought Mr Fluffy over after having him groomed.
He was a Huge Fluffy Puffy Persian about 14.
Sadly hois teeth were rotten through and through and I didnt realize this until it was too late.

I was a Bad Pawpie

This mans daughter took all of Mr Fluffys food , toys and blanklets and left him in an empty house drinking from the toilet

Taboo certainly doe not look like a 17 year Young Cat , Jen.
We are so sorry that she had so many false starts, buut now shes with one of the Very Finest People on Pet Talk, Our Heroes Jen and Charles!!

God Bless You Both for Caring

In my opinion she is in a shock because all what happened to hear yesterday...! It must have been traumatic for her when you removed all that bad fur.... . But don't worry, she will get over it! And then she will be the most sweet and loving lady

Aw Jen, it is such a great thing you are doing for her, thank you so much

I'm with Lut. She must have been so scared after having her claws trimmed and her coat shaved down, especially since she was out of the routine of having her coat cared for on a regular basis. I'm sure she will be very beautiful when her coat grows in, she will have a healthy diet with you, not to mention tons of love and TLC.

Bless you, Jen for taking care of Taboo! And gentle *kiss* of welcome for her.

Oh, Taboo, welcome back into the real world of people who love and care for you! You'll settle in soon; just let Jen take real good care of you and it will be wonderful! Purrs and gentle headbumpies to you, sweetheart!

Thank you, Jen!
