Look at this cute old guy! We picked up 10 year old Pancake from our friends at Johnson County Indiana Animal Shelter on 8/2. They originally got him back in October as a stray.
Pancake was re-homed in November and was recently returned due to his health. He has hyperthyroidism and we’ve started him back on meds.
Pancake follows us around everywhere, doesn’t mind the other cats and is a real sweetheart!
Update 2023-10-12: This has turned out to be a terrible week for us. We had to say goodbye to Pancake yesterday. Pancake was Hyperthyroid and we were trying our best to get him regulated. He became sick a couple weeks ago. We took him to the vet, he got treatment and he put his rally cap on. He was doing better until yesterday morning. There was nothing more that could be done for him. Thank you to the entire team at VCA Companion Animal Medical Center for taking such great care of him the last 4 months! When we call, they know something is wrong, and they say “come right now” without hesitation. We cannot even express our gratitude enough for this.
Pancake was so sweet, kind, mild mannered and funny. He was a favorite of our human family and our feline family. The grouchy, old, kitty ladies would hiss and swat at him, but he never retaliated or even blinked an eye. Bill loved him and followed him around everywhere he went. Pancake was learning to be a lap cat. He loved cheese of any and all varieties and loved to stand on his hind legs and reach up and beg for it!!!! We think he looked like the Loth-cats on Ahsoka.
We are so thankful Johnson County Animal Shelter contacted us back in August about him and even more thankful we said “yes” and went and got him.
Pancake was one of a kind. We miss him so much. To Pancake: All of us, humans and felines, love you and are grateful we knew you and that you were part of our family. Rest now.
