“Hidden Treasures: What This Man Unearthed in His Elderly Relative’s Attic Will Change Everything You Thought You Knew”
The hair that had become stuck in Hidey’s fur had nowhere else to go since she couldn’t groom it off of herself. So, it began to grow and clump together so bad that there was nothing that Hidey could ever do to stop it.
She Was Neglected For Years
When it comes to long-haired cats like Calicos, not only are they supposed to clean themselves, but their owners are also supposed to help out and brush them regularly because of their extra hair. Since Hidey’s owner could hardly take care of himself, it is likely that he wasn’t up for the task of taking care of Hidey either.
In the years that Hidey’s elderly owner suffered with Alzheimer’s, Hidey’s hair growth became out of control and she became trapped beneath her own fur with no chance of escape. What was once a healthy cat had become skittish and miserable because of neglect.
Adopted By The Russels
After both cats had been treated and vaccinated, the Russels decided to give both cats a new chance at life. The couple adopted the two cats into their home in Churchill, Pennsylvania where they would become members of the family along with their other three cats and two dogs.
Of course, the transition wasn’t all that smooth for Hidey. Not only did she have to learn to live with two human owners and all of the other animals, she also had to learn to live without all of her old excess fur. Over time, she slowly became more comfortable, however, she was still traumatized from her past.
