Aww Gloria, I'm so sorry to hear about Mishka. I know it doesn't help
right now, but at least she did have someone in her short life that
appreciated how wonderful she is. Rescue is so hard. It's so hard
losing them one after another. Sometimes it helps me to think of
butterflies... How they have such short life spans by comparison, and
yet they live full and happy lives in the time they spend here. I don't
understand why such sweet Angels only get to be with us such a short
time. I think there may be something to the 'good dying young'. Maybe
they just don't have as much to work through as the rest of us. Thank
you for sharing a little bit of her with us and thank you for all you do.
Sending love and sympathy,
Nina

My Mishka died yesterday (Sunday Oct 22). She was such a pretty
little black and white kitty. She was abandoned at PetCo by someone,
and accepted into our rescue. I could see that she was going down
hill, and brought her to my house, hoping to make a difference and
help her pull thru. I had great plans for her.
Took her to the vet for the last two weeks. She'd tested negative on
the Elisa. When she had a CBC blood test, it showed a low white
count, low red count, low platelets - her bone marrow wasn't putting
out any platelets. Don't know why, but some kind of cancer's a
possibility, we just don't know.
She was just as sweet as could be, slightly long black and white fur,
with cute little ringlets coming out her ears and paws. She had
wonderful, gentle personality - could have been somebody's love-bug
for a long time, but guess it wasn't to be. She was my love-bug for
a short time. She was about a year old. What a beautiful angel!
Thanks,
Gloria
