Yep,that’s what happened to Joel.  Of course it doesn’t look like he got the best of care no matter what age he was; but God forbid if gray shows on your not so perfect fur. I often wonder how  folks can treat any animal with so little regard. I am sure there is not much room in there home or hearts for anything but themselves. I hope the same befalls them if they ever, and they will, start to show a little gray. What goes around, comes around. Joel will be going to a perfect rescue and his retirement will be the envy of all. Good luck Joel.
