Annie the cat, now named Tapenade, waited over 2 years at the Dutchess Country SPCA to find a home, and was often overlooked by adopters due to her rare seizure disorder
Annie, a cat with a rare seizure disorder, at the Dutchess County SPCA before her adoption.Annie is done waiting for tomorrow; after over two years in a New York shelter, the rescue cat with a rare seizure disorder is home."Annie was brought to us by a healthcare worker for an owner who was suffering from dementia," Lynne Meloccaro, DCSPCA's executive director, tells PEOPLE.
"Because she was undiagnosed when she arrived, it took some time for us to learn what the problem was and how to treat it. We knew she had not been well cared for because of her owner's illness. So we did what we do with all our special needs cats — we rolled up our sleeves and got to work to figure out the best treatment plan for her," Meloccaro says.
"The average adopter might ask, 'Why should they consider a cat like Annie when there are so many other cats available without any issues?' That's why many shelters would not even let a cat like Annie stay for as long as she did, but we always try to do all we can to find that special adopter who is willing to give a home to a special needs cat, even if it takes two years." Meloccario says.For Annie, it was worth the wait.
