Suzanne posted an update 1 year ago
I love this group and really appreciate all the support and understanding it provides I just wish I didn’t have to be back here posting again, less than, 4 months after suddenly saying good bye to my Oliver on March 29. Last Friday July 26, I had to suddenly say good bye to my sweet toothless 13 year old senior Kalina, who became part of my family on May 4, 2025. In the short time Kalina was a part of the family she made a huge impact on our lives and made an even bigger hole in my heart, which was already grieving Oliver’s sudden passing in March. While I knew I was on borrowed time with you I never expected to lose you so suddenly. Knowing what I know about your life prior to your being rescued by Lisa your foster mom, then letting me become your human I knew you’d had a hard life. I’m sure your previous human tried, she just fell on hard times and her roommate obviously didn’t care about animals at all or she never would’ve thrown you and your sister into a basket and placed you on the porch on a frigid cold February night. I hope in the short time you allowed me to be your human mom that you felt loved, cherished and cared for. I hope you’ll forgive me for constantly putting food in your face to encourage you to eat, but I only did what I thought was best looking back, I realize now that you’re disinterest in food was because your body had begun to shut down; you were slowly dying on me. I hope at least when you chose to eat that you enjoyed your favorite treat, Churros lickables. I will never forget how you’d remind me to give one to you each night before bed. Thank you for being a wonderful senior companion to Sebastian, who like me is also mourning your passing and the passing of his bonded brother Oliver, on March 29 of this year. While your time with us was brief You really encouraged and helped Sebastian to become less timid. Thanks to yours and Sebastian‘s brief companionship, he’s now venturing out from under the recliner more frequently and spending quality time with his human. I’m thankful that Sebastian and I were able to be there to say goodbye to you as you peacefully crossed the rainbow bridge to be reunited with your bonded sister, that you lost earlier in March while I never met her I’m sure she was as sweet and precious as you were. you were only a part of our family for a few short months but the hole that you left in my heart will take a long time to heal. I will when the time is right, and my heart is healed some adopt another senior cat in your memory, as a companion for Sebastian, who is in need of a loving forever home , as you once were. Your heartbroken mom, Sebastian and you’re annoying fur brothers, Takoda and Oreo.-
💔😪Oh Suzanne, how heartbreaking. I am sharing tears with you as I write this and want you to know how special you are to care so much for so many loving little lives. It only takes a moment to fall in love, and a lifetime to cherish whatever time we are lucky to share. I adopted Walter when his human died and he was only with me five months. He was 15 and had a fast growing malignant tumor. I loved himdearly and I ache when I remember how sweet and wonderful he was, but, like you and Kalina, he had a loving, safe, comfortable, and I hope somewhat fun, end of life with me. It is good that you know how much better Kalina’s life was in your loving care, and I am glad you wrote such a heartfelt letter to her. Please light as many candles as you like for Kalina and Oliver. Please give Sebastian and the others hugs and pets from me. We are always here for you. I hope to see you again at the monthly meeting August 21st. I am thinking of you with sympathy. Toni -
