Good-Bye Marshmellow

We had to say good-bye to one of our best friends today. Marshmellow passed away suddenly this morning and we are all heartbroken. Marshmellow was a very special presence at the shelter and he will be sorely missed.
Marshmellow was abandoned at Good Mews in March 2009. When we found him he was in horrible shape. He had hardly any hair on his face and he was very sick. At first the vet thought he might have had cancer, but as it turned out, he didn’t! They suspected skin allergies so they put him on a special diet and Marshmellow got to be our new kitchen cat. He loved this because that meant he got to spend a lot of time with the volunteers and got tons of special treatment.

Marshmellow was a very sweet boy that welcomed hugs and kisses and he would often place his paw on your shoulder and give you a hug right back. He never got his forever home and a family to call his own, but we at Good Mews were his family and we loved him and he knew that.  There is a special place at the Bridge for this sweet boy and we know we will all see him again.

Good-bye, Marshmellow. We love you and we will miss you.
