Cat Grows Dreadlocks After Been Abandoned For Years By Sick Owner

The cat named Hidey belonged to a man with Alzheimer's disease. Hidey was brought to the Animal Rescue League Shelter & Wildfire Center in Pittsburh, Pennsylvania. They Posted on their Facebook page on Friday;

"This poor cat was brought to our clinic yesterday after her elderly (owner) had to move to a nursing home. 'She suffered from severe matting (dreadlocks, really), the likes of which had been neglected for years.

Our Medical team shaved off the pounds of intertwined fur from her body &, needless to say, this cat is feeling so much better now!

She will be cared for by a distant relative of her previous owner & finally have a chance at a happy & healthy life."

Poor cat must have felt uncomfortable. I'm actually happy for Hidey.
