Over the weekend, our colleagues at the Albert Fellows Bacon Center broke some heartbreaking news. Unfortunately, Bob, their cherished stray to shelter cat, is no longer with them.
What About Bob?
Around the time COVID shut everything down, Bob joined the Albion Fellows Bacon Center. Now Bob wanted to come and go as he pleased, in typical alley-cat way. He would occasionally drop over for a supper, which developed into a wonderful relationship with the Albion staff and residents.
More Than a Shelter Cat
Everyone at Albion adored Bob and made sure that he was taken care of. Being one of just three domestic violence shelters in Indiana that allows pets with their owners, he became the spokesperson for Albion.
Because they are frightened to leave their pets behind, over half of victims of domestic abuse remain in abusive relationships.
Bob’s treatment was provided by Oak Hill Animal Hospital and Dr. Kellie Hanson, a member of the Albion Board of Directors.
Tributes to Bob
Getting a spa day at Carver’s Groomery was one of Bob’s greatest adventures that we are aware of. Bob was given special treatment by our friends at Carvers’ Groomery, who normally only accept dogs.
This one is devastating to share. Bob was so much more than a stray cat who wandered in during Covid. Our team at Albion Fellows Bacon Center is heartbroken to lose Bob and forever grateful for having known and loved him. He was our pet, our support cat, our friend, our mascot, our flare, our spunk. Thank you Bob, for all that you brought to our hearts and lives. We will miss you forever and love the next soul you send with as much care and compassion and whole-heartedness as the love we have shared with you. Rest in peace, precious Bob.
