UNCLE WALTER'S STORY

Uncle Walter was a happy, good-natured cat who enjoyed a long life.  He was affectionately nicknamed Dubya or Dubbie and brought joy to all who met him.  He lived a harsh life at an industrial site for many years with his friends Bandit, BoBo, Jeremy, Bindi (with one eye), and also Callie, Bandy, and Midnight who passed away before him (after retirement).  Please see Midnight’s memorial for more about their background.

Walter and his “family” were brought in for retirement as they were not healthy enough to be re-homed outdoors and deserved comfort in their final years.  Surprisingly, Walter adapted really well to the indoors life.  He was quite active, prancing around like a little pony and a favorite of cats and people alike.  He would start purring the minute he saw someone and loved to be petted and rub against your legs

“Dub” had bravely fought many health issues as long as he could.  Although eventual blindness did not curtail his quality of life, sudden kidney failure did occur and we all said goodbye to him at the end of August.    We will all miss his sweet little orange face and desire to snuggle.
