Please pray for Kaylanee. We’re at Urgent care now, 4:00 appointment. Since Thursday that I’m aware of she’s been in/out of litter box but only peeing small amounts if at all. Today in a 4 hour window she was in/out at least 18 times that I noticed and sitting in there for 2-5 minutes each time. She’s pooping normally so thinking maybe UTI or kidney or bladder issue. Will update when I’m able. Praying for all who are grieving and/or facing health challenges with their beloved pets.

Grief is love’s souvenir
Just as we carry our love forever, a bit of sadness and pain stay with us, too.
Sharing, writing notes to our beloved babies and looking at pictures can bring tears and comfort.
I hope sharing your feelings, thoughts and memories here with us is meaningful to each of you. I read each word and feel close to you and your sweeties. Please feel free to share any time. We’re here for you. Toni-
Thank you Toni I/we appreciate you too.

Hello my sweet Bastet! September 19 would have been your 11th birthday.
I still can\’t believe you\’re not here to celebrate with us. I would do anything to change what happened and my decisions.
I am heartbroken you aren\’t here to see the significant events that have happened. My weight loss, surgery, and growth. Ally said you were looking out for me during surgery.
I still feel your presence especially here.
I have seen and felt things I can\’t explain.
I still feel connected to you.
I still remember the holidays, Santa and the silly things you did. Hiding near or under television, and in the dresser. Putting dad\’s underwear in the litter box. You loved the crocheted catnip toys and the laser.
I also remember how I\’d awaken with you licking my ear. You\’d take up all of the pillow. I still can\’t sleep on it.
You loved to solve the mysteries of new toys. Especially the mat and balls. I know how much you didn\’t like baths, nail cutting and being held too long. I know that was just you being a kitty.
From the first year, we included you in everything, including holidays. We took you to see Santa Claus every year. One year you went around checking things out and investigating. We took you for portraits and you didn\’t mind the bow.
One year we went to Waterbury to see Santa. Him and Holly were so gentle, loving and kind to you. I know you believed
he was really Santa. That was the real magic of the holidays. I cherish those moments and memories. The way you\’d look in awe at the sparkly lights and ornaments on the tree. You tolerated my meticulous shaping, light and ornament placing. The Frank Sinatra holiday, and Monster Ballads cd. The prominent placement each year of your ornaments I bought you. You never touched the tree or tried to climb it. I remember one year you sat under the small one looking up mesmerized by the lights and ornaments. You laid on the skirt under the 6ft one.
I hope it\’s alright to say this. Sometimes at that time of year the music, and the lights make me sad. Memories of when you were here, and we were all together.
Sometimes at night I look at the tree, lights and ornaments. Those are the times I miss you the most. I guess the magic of the holiday is the memories and love that still remains.
I still remember you meowing at nite, and how I told you not to. I wish I could hear that meow again.
We did what we could to keep you healthy.
I know you didn\’t like going to the dr. We tried to make sure you were never alone.
Even in those last moments I wanted you to know we were there and how much we loved you.
I know you wouldn\’t want tears, sadness and regret. I\’m struggling still to honor that, and accept what happened. My mind is full of what ifs. I never thought we\’d be coming home without you that nite. I didn\’t want you to suffer or to be alone. Seeing you that way broke my heart.
I have faith and have been told by Lucy, Celeste, Ally, Raina, Claudia and Susan that you are still with me. I believe you are at the Rainbow Bridge in a warm field of butterflies. I know you\’re with Rocky, Timmy, and Jeremy.
I often question if you are laughing about
Satura Tj. I can\’t help thinking you and Tj sent her. She needed a family and we needed her. Your way of looking out for us.
I found the fur, hair ties and toys. I see the butterflies, cat shaped clouds and the rabbits. You are still here.
I feel close to you at the beach.
I would like to think your story didn\’t end 3 years ago. I will probably never know how you ended up in rescue. I\’d like to think your story began when we adopted you. I always admired your poise, confidence and fearless spirit. You were so much more than just a cat. Fierce, loving, with a huge presence.
We still talk about you, sign your name on cards, and look at your pictures. Sometimes we cry, yet we also remember the love.
In the 7.5 years you were here, you taught us quite a bit. You left a lasting legacy.
So long as I am kind, compassionate, and loving you will always be remembered. You showed me how to live without fear, be fierce yet kind and most importantly
to always use your heart. I know what
it means to love and be loved unconditionally. I hope you know how grateful I am for that, the memories and especially the love.
Even though you are not physically here, you are here spiritually and in my heart forever.
Have a beautiful birthday, and always know I love you and miss you.
I will meet you by the bridge with the butterflies.
Love always,
Mom❤️🙏🥰-

Hi everyone, I just wanted to come here to find out what was new and to possibly provide a little comfort to those members who have recently lost their fur baby. I’m not seeing any new posts here for a long time and maybe I’m just not receiving them.
I send warm thoughts and comforting hugs to all.

Today would have been my Freyja’s one year gotcha day. Sadly I lost her to an aggressive form of cancer 2 months and 5 days later on December 17. My dear sweet big girl, while you were only with me less than 3 months, you are still deeply loved and missed. I pray that you are enjoying your special day in heaven and that you are enjoying being reunited with your previous human before me. I also hope that when it’s my turn to cross the Rainbow Bridge, even though we knew each other a short time, that you will be waiting to welcome me with all my other beloved kitties.
On a more positive note Takoda, Oreo and Kaylanee are all doing well. The daily nausea med thst Kaylanee is on seems to thankfully be working. This is also Kaylanee’s 8 month anniversary coming to her live in her furever home with me and her two brothers. I think she’s finally feeling secure and at home because she’s picking up on all her younger brothers annoying bad habits. Which as aggravating as this is I’m also thrilled that she feels secure enough in her new home that she can know “misbehave”. Excuse the two non cat photos, they were unintended and I don’t know how to delete them without deleting the entire post. The cat photos are of my beloved Freyja.-

No meeting this Thursday.
Hallowwen costumes on pets are cute to us but can be painful and even dangerous for our pets. Cats are epecially sensitive to anything on their fur and skin. -

Let’s hope you and Kaylanee don’t need to go back until March. As we discussed at our last meeting, any cat food she will eat will deliver the essential nutrients. You are such a good Mom. Hang in there and update us at the meeting Thursday Sep.17th. We’re here for you both. Toni -

I’ve tried 2x to post this update on Kaylanee let’s hope 3x is a charm. 😺Took Kaylanee for her recheck apt., on Friday 9/4. The vet thought it was as in Kaylanee’s best interest at the moment to keep her on the nausea and prednisone meds, since they seem to be helping her. I was told the nausea meds don’t have any side effects. She agreed that the daily gabapentin was no longer necessary as I told her I didn’t think she was in pain. I will revisit these two meds and there continued use at her annual in March of 2027, unless we end up at the vet before that appointment, pray not! I will however continue to give her the Gabapentin when we travel to NH. Since she’s been on the nausea meds she hasn’t vomited except hairballs 2x, which I’m giving her hairball jell for that. She had gone back to eating the dry and wet Biome food but has started again refusing to eat it. So I’ve been giving her Purina pro plan sensitive skin and stomach dry and just ordered 4 different flavors of the same canned version, through Petsmart that I’ll pick up tomorrow. While I’d prefer she’d eat the Biome, I just want/need her to eat. I will continue, when I have time to offer her the Biome, but I don’t always have time to change out food when she chooses to not eat it on any given day. Thanks for everyone’s prayers and words of encouragement for my Kaylanee it’s greatly appreciated. Picture of my little burrito girl when I have to give her meds. Even wrapped up like a burrito she still gives me a hard time with meds. I try to make it a positive experience each time by offering treats before and after and giving her head scratches while she’s all swaddled in the towel but she’s having none of that.-

Hi Suzanne, I feel the same as you do about wishing you could turn back time just so you could love on them one more time, but not wanting to go through that awful pain when we have to say goodbye. Losing our loves is the worst heartache ever 💔
Sending you hugs! -
