I learned something else about what happened with Maddy. She was actually found in another wing of the floor, on the other side of the building. 
That is a LONG way for a nearly 16-year-old cat to wander, given how slow she is getting from room to room in the apartment.
No wonder she was hungry and thirsty when those people found her.
