B.C. family says care home switched their mom’s cat with robotic version
DUNCAN, B.C. — The family of a British Columbia woman who has dementia say staff at a care home removed her cat and replaced it with a robotic stuffed animal.
Dawn Douglas has been living at the Sunridge Place care home in Duncan for nearly two years and her family says they’ve been working to reunite her with Snoop.
Bill Court says he was told Snoop could move in with his mother if they supplied appropriate documentation from the family doctor and a veterinarian, and also agreed to be responsible for the cat’s hygiene and vet bills.
Lisa Douglas says negotiations took some time to reunite her sister with Snoop.
