Buddy Ditzmore was my cat from 6 weeks until hedied at 15. He was a special needs cat – diabetesrequiring insulin two times a day at the age of 9,respiratory issues at 12, and inflammatory boweldisease which ultimately claimed his life. I miss himterribly in the two weeks since he left me, and I wishto honor his memory by supporting other cats whohave special needs, and have found their way to HFL.
