Run Free, Missy. Missy, Our Gentle Girl, Loved And..

🌈RUN FREE, MISSY🌈

Missy, our gentle girl, loved and lost on 15 April 2024.

Missy first came to the SPCA in 2019, at the age of 5, after which she was adopted but surrendered again in 2023 due to health problems beyond her adopter’s capacity for care. By then, Missy was a senior at 9 years old. She had undergone surgery twice, once to remove mammary tumours and later to repair her pelvic bone after a car accident. The accident also damaged her nerves and bladder control. Missy’s urine leaked almost constantly, scalding her genitals and tail. Frequent baths were needed to soothe the soreness and keep her clean. Her bladder had to be manually expressed to prevent it from getting too full. Missy often cried out in discomfort, although she never scratched or bit in protest. Over time, she began to enjoy baths so much that her wash area was labelled, ‘Missy’s Happy Spot’.

Unfortunately, her good progress did not last. Missy was rushed to the SPCA Clinic after our staff noticed a decline in her appetite and movement. Despite supportive care (including oxygen therapy) and a brave fight, Missy passed away. She was accompanied to the very end by her SPCA guardians and her former adopter on 16 April, when her farewell service was held.

Like many of her furriends who have gone before, Missy did not leave this world in the comfort of home. However, we take solace in knowing that she was surrounded by our staff who loved her till the very end. Missy will always be loved dearly.

If you are ready, consider adopting. You could be the author of that happy ending our animals deserve.
