Daisy, a gorgeous, one-year-old, golden girl wanted to live and love. She gently asked the shelter staff for chin rubs. She made herself attractive by constantly grooming. She wasn’t fussy about eating. Daisy tried to be an easy, appealing cat, one that goes home.

So, the well-mannered cat was mortified when her food kept coming up. Soon, the staff were mortified, too. Sweet Daisy was starving, dying, before their eyes, even though she was eating.

Daisy’s weakening eyes pleaded for help. The director asked the Friends of the Shelter to fund drastic measures. Even though the vet should have been home, he did exploratory surgery. He found a giant fur ball blocking Daisy’s stomach. Now the relieved director says, “She’s going to do great now.”
