7/23/24 Gnarly came into our rescue in 2022 and was 13 years of age. He was a mess and had been neglected for some time. His nails were painful to look at and so were his eyes. He went to the vet and we started to work on his needs. He went to the eye specialist as well. Gnarly ended up with eyelid cancer and the tumors started growing quickly. He ultimately lost his eyes which in the end, was fine by him, because he was out of pain and on track. Gnarly ended up becoming a forever foster, meaning his family took him in and loved him and cared for him, but the rescue picked up his expenses. His family called him Barley and he had a feline sibling he adored. Barley has done pretty well for the last two years. His family has made his life enjoyable. Unfortunately he quickly stopped eating this weekend and started to struggle. He was rushed into the vet only to find he had cancer and his prognosis was not good. Barley, our Gnarly crossed over the rainbow bridge with his family by his side. We are so sorry for their loss but also grateful for the life they gave him. We could not ask for anything more. Rest in peace Barley, you were a character and will surely be missed.
