"The cat's owner was no longer able to care for it and had to be moved to a nursing home, leaving the poor cat alone. There is no place to stay, but fortunately, the center has adopted the cat. Its fur must be thick and matted as if it had been abandoned for a long time." - Shared Animal Rescue.

The cat, Hidey, was known to have lived in neglected and superficial care until his owner, 82-year-old Paul Russell, who suffers from Alzheimer's, was sent to a care center by relatives.

The cat had not been cared for properly, making the 0.9kg long, long fur look odd, which combined with the obesity made it very difficult for Hidey to move around.

However, his cousin Paul took Heidi to an animal shelter in Pittsburgh. Although the thick strange hair frightened the staff here, the nurses still treated and cared for Hidey very hard, making Hidey beautiful and moving.

According to The Dodo, after undergoing a medical examination, Hidey will be cared for by a distant relative of the original owner, promising a happy and peaceful life.
