Serenity - Senior Living Pet Sanctuary

Meet sweet 13 year old Merlin! Merlin came to us with his brother, Cotton. Both their senior owners passed away leaving them behind with two sisters. The family did an excellent job getting them all up to date on vaccines and got Merlin ready to start his new life with us. Merlin is very sweet, shy, and scared right now. But he is already letting us pet him and he flips over for belly rubs. The family said his normal personality is: confident with a gentle affectionate side, he enjoys being near his people, and he’s a loyal companion. Merlin is truly a sweetheart and we can’t wait to see his full personality shine once he’s 💯 comfortable!

Meet sweet Cotton! And yes, his hair is very soft. He is 16 years young! Cotton came to us with his brother, Merlin. Both their senior owners passed away leaving them behind with two sisters. The family did an excellent job getting them all up to date on vaccines and got Cotton ready to start his new life with us. Cotton is very sweet, shy, and scared right now. The family said his normal personality is: friendly and outgoing, eager to greet visitors, observant and aware of his surroundings, calm and steady once settled, naturally social and well-adjusted and does well with other cats. We have faith he will continue to get adjusted and then his bright light will shine! ❤️ 💙🐾

Sometimes we’re at a loss for words. We have been putting this off. We lost our sweet Buddy on Monday. He’s had neurological issues with his lower back and hips. We have been treating him for that for a while. But then he started to not want to eat or take his meds on a regular basis. We took him to the vet and his red blood cell count was very low. His body was still trying to make more but couldn’t keep up. The concern was a GI bleed (possibly a bleeding stomach ulcer) or some kind of cancer. We tried meds to help with the possible bleed. On Monday, he wasn’t acting himself. He refused to eat. Refused his meds. He started taking shallow breaths and his gums were white. We took him back to the vet, and upon ultrasound, he had a large mass in his abdomen and loose fluid. We didn’t have a choice but to say goodbye. Buddy was a funny, feisty, crotchety, old guy. He was Lucy’s best friend. They had been together since puppies. Buddy was a tolerant step brother to all his doggie friends and even to Bill the cat. We are sad. We are a little lost without him. The sanctuary doesn’t feel the same. Rest easy Buddy. You were loved so much by all of your sanctuary family. We know you are in heaven running the joint. We love you. We miss you. Buddy, you were one of a kind. 💔🙏😢
