    Awww…I am sorry. My cat is 17 now and I know how hard it is to see them aging, things are not working as well, and yet they are still sweet, loving and innocent. Never complaining. It’s just so deeply touching and she inspires me to be a better person. I am so sorry, Paula. If you can open your heart and home to another, rescues & shelters are having a terrible time with people returning the pets they adopted during this pandemic. I am glad to have you as a part of our community, invite you to lend your support to others, and please let us know what ,and how you are doing.

      This is so sad – tragic really: As we anticipated and so hoped against, people are returning their adopted pets to rescues and shelters. Adoptions went up with the Covid pandemic, and now rescues and shelters are struggling to keep up with the influx of pets being returned. Please, if you can, open your heart and home to adopting another pet, donate money, food, or whatever help you can to your local rescue or shelter. Find rescues & shelters in your area by clicking our “Find Services” tab, enter your zip code and use the drop-down menu to search in your area.
      Thank you for being a caring, kind animal lover, a supporter of pets and the facilities that care for them, and a part of our community. Toni

      @pfromri Hi Paula. I am sorry for your loss of Elsa. Are you doing okay? Will you tell us about her, share some stories and pictures?

      • Elsa died on March 28th of last year. She was 17 years old .

              OH! Linda, we just opened our “Memorials” tab if you’d like to post a lasting tribute to Tessa and/or Keller.
              • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 6 months ago

                Oh Linda, April has showered you with sadness and I am sorry. It’s going to be awhile before your heart mends and you begin to recall memories with smiles before tears. Right now, let the tears flow and do good things for yourself. I think there is comfort in knowing you are a person capable of great, lasting, deep love, and that you gave and shared the best life with your beloved pets – your friends. How long were you and Tessa together? What kind of pet was she? And Keller?…..Can you share some photos with us?

                    Those are great stories, Karla. Thanks for sharing them. Well…your husband could have planted a nice tree or rose bush for and Connor :-). I am glad you have fun and sweet memories of him and hope you will share your support with others who have lost, and miss, their beloved pets.

                      @gbowling Hello Gladys, and welcome to our caring community. I am sorry for your losses of Pokey and Chubby. Please tell us about them: what type of pets were they? How long were you together? How are you doing, Gladys?

                    • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 6 months ago

                      Hi Linda. What is the update about Noel? I know it’s heartbreaking and I hope you are hanging in there.
                      • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 6 months ago

                        Oh Linda, I am so sorry. Hopefully Noel is as comfortable as he can be. This is so hard – seeing them fail and die. Then the emptiness afterwards, and the grief. T
                        We’re here to help you. I’m thinking of you.
                        • Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years, 6 months ago

                          Oh Karla, of course you are heartbroken, and I suspect in tears coming from the depth of your soul. A sadness that radiates from deep within and engulfs your every breath. We are here for you, to understand and let you share your feelings., and when the day comes that you have smiles before your tears thinking of Connor, we want to share that with you, too. I am so very sad and sorry, Karla.
                            • The split picture is when he was a puppy and when he first started having hip problems and could only play ball a wee bit. His new hobby became digging holes. He was so proud of the massive hole he dug in one of the pictures I posted he could not wait to show me. I was impressed and praised him for his achievement. My husband did not find the beauty in it. He had to fill it in. Lol

                                My cat just explained to me why we keep pictures:
                                it’s history, memories, feelings, and love.
                                She likes to lick photographs, and we were just doing that, and I asked her why she does it. That was her explanation, which makes purrfect sense to me.

                                What a regal pose. Kind, yet knows who is "the boss". Those eyes are so sweet and expressive.

                                I\’m sad to see so many white hairs in my girl\’s beautiful black fur, but hey, she\’s seventeen, and I have more white hairs , too, so I am happy she seems to be doing well, that her meds are working, and that we have each other ๐Ÿ™‚

                                Tay, you make me smile, and your pictures and videos are precious. Sounds like you have a family of animal lovers, and I am so happy to have you with our community of like minded people. Prince is soooo handsome. What fun for them both to have each other. Ryu is going to be a great friend to you all, and to us. I just love them…… keep sending updates, please. I’ll be wondering what’s going on with them. Hugs.

                                  @brnflo2 Hello Brenda. I am sorry for your losses of Prissy and Bama. Their names make me think of their personalities – will you tell us about them? We love to see pictures, too. Are you doing alright, Brenda?

                                  @christinemanue Hello and welcome, Christine. I had a darling kitty named Nicky (a girl) and am very sad and sorry for your loss. Was Nicky a cat? Do you have pictures we can see, and will you tell us about Nicky, please?

                                • Toni Noel posted an update 5 years, 6 months ago

                                  @rosered53 Hi Chandra. Please tell us about Katniss and Myra, and let us know how you are. Okay, I hope?
