A therapy cat was reunited with a Duncan family Wednesday after he was taken away from his owner at a senior's home, but the family says their fight is not yet over.

Dawn Douglas, 66, suffers from dementia and said she was devastated after her cat "Snoop" was taken from her at Sunridge Care Facility.

"I want my cat back…They had no right taking my pet," Dawn told CTV News Wednesday. "I've had her since she was a kitten actually and she loves me with all her heart, and I know she's missing me."

Her son Bill Douglas said Sunridge staff told the family the cat would be allowed to move in under a few conditions.

"[They said] there's certain things we need done such as making sure her shots are all up to date, deworming, all that stuff, she has to take care of the kitty litter, and we're like, 'Yeah, she can do all that stuff on her own,'" he said. "So we followed and jumped through all the hoops that were needed to finally get the cat in."

The cat moved in on Feb. 10, but Bill said not even 24 hours later, Snoop was removed by a staff member.

"I was getting calls from the RN working here saying that the cat has to be removed," said Bill.

Two days after Bill refused to pick up the cat, staff went into Dawn's suite while she was in another room and took Snoop, replacing him with a robotic stuffed cat, the family said.

"They told me that they were going to give her a bath and I'd get her back. They never did," said Dawn.

Her son Drew said staff didn't even notify family members that the cat had been removed.

Park Place, the company that operates Sunridge, told CTV News that the cat was removed after an employee inside the building was hospitalized due to an allergic reaction.

“In the interim solution they’ve made arrangements to have the cat rehomed with a staff member that’s very loving and has promised to look after the cat while we work with the family," said Park Place spokeswoman Lynda Foley.

The company also said the family was never given permission to move Snoop into the facility, which doesn't allow pets.

"If that client needed visitation, maybe we could try to find a way to have the cat stay the night when that staff wasn't there," said Foley. "There were things that we were going to try to accommodate."

But the family maintained they were given permission to move Snoop in with their mother.

"We want the cat to go back to our mom. We feel that they took the cat unlawfully," said Drew.

The cat has since been reunited with Dawn's sons, but they say they won't be giving up their fight to have Snoop returned to his rightful owner.
