On a cold evening, Paul Russell found a small, matted cat near a neighbor’s driveway. She was frightened, neglected, and barely recognizable.
He and his wife took her to the Animal Rescue League, where vets discovered she was 14 and had likely gone years without proper care. As her fur was trimmed, Hidey’s gentle personality began to shine through.
The shelter learned her previous owner had Alzheimer’s, making daily care difficult. With love, medical care, and attention, Hidey was transformed — and later adopted by a caring family member.
Hidey’s story is a reminder: a little compassion can change a life.
