Teddy 1996 - 22nd June 2010 aged 13
It is with regret to announce the sad loss and final goodbye of the beloved Teddy.
It is with regret to announce the sad loss and final goodbye of the beloved Teddy, who passed away on the 22nd June 2010, after a short illness, to cancer.
Teddy came to live here on the 28th September 2002, aged 6, after he was a victim of a road traffic accident, and he had to have his tail amputated which left him without complete bladder control. This made life for his owner rather difficult, as they lived in a flat, and we were privileged and thankful that we could accommodate and look after him here.
Who would of believed that this fabulous cat would have made such an impact on all the staff, volunteers, visitors and of course his sponsors, and became such a popular character. He would greet everyone with a ‘hello’ and would take every opportunity to climb on shoulders for a love and a purr in the ear, especially if you were in the staff room, or sitting, having a cup of tea and a piece of cake in the tea room area! He loved the sunshine, and would go anywhere around the farm to show his presence and to anyone willing to give him some fuss. He certainly was blessed with the perfect name; he was just like a Teddy bear. Teddy also played a vital role in FIB, because of his calm and friendly personality; he was our main cat testers.
The past year or so he did suffer with his incontinence and also on occasions suffered with constipation, but with the care from the staff and our superb vets, he lived a happy life here.
Sadly in May 2010, a lump appeared on his front left foot which at first was thought to be a very bad infection, but within a week or so, two other similar lumps appeared, and after the bi-opsy results confirmed our worse fears that they were malignant tumors.
Teddy peacefully passed away on Tuesday afternoon of the 22nd June 2010. He will be very missed by as all and will always be fondly remembered.
His ashes are with us at Foal and we will shortly be arranging his final resting place here.
