Re: Annie is gone
Tad,I'm so sorry for your loss. It seems like the list is going through another bad time of losses and problems. :( I'm glad your little Annie had a loving place to call home and people who loved her. I have an Annie too. She's not feral, but a bit standoffish at times.Take care, tonyaTad Burnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sadly I have to report another FeLV+ has passed on today...Annie was a beautiful calico with a white milk mustache...She came to live with me about a year and a half ago...She was a stray who was brought into a shelter in NJ...She had a huge gash in her side probably from a carbut she was healing well from that but she tested posand had to live in a cage with the dogs at the vets...The dogs didn't seem to bother her and she was friendlywith people and she was friendly with me until I broughther in the room with my other FeLV+ cats...She establishedher own corner with a window of her own and kept everyoneelse out...I gave her her own food and box there and shewould let me pat her if no one else was aroundAbout a month ago she stopped eating and we found shehad become anemic ...I put her in my isolation cage andput her on vitamins the vet gave us and got her eating AD..After a few days she seemed to be getting better and badlywanted out of the cage so I let her out...For a few days she was impossible to catch and didn't alwaysget her vitamins but soon she started to slide again and she waseasy to catch and medicate and we started seringe feeding...She took that easily and we had her gaining weight again...In the process she was spending more and more time on mybed where the rest of the cats all hang out and soon my feralcat who won't let me pat her but was very quick to make friendswith the other cats was able to snuggle with AnnieThe best thing of this is now the feral cat has suddenly decidedit is OK to be touched by humans and she even let me pick herup for a minute without strugglingI have been following Wendy and Cricket as it has been so closeto Annie...Yesterday she was too weak to make it to her litter boxeven though I had placed it up level with the bed for her...This washer first accidentI was struggling with the same thought of if Ishould PTS but she seemed to rest comfortably and took theseringe feedings fairly well...We had gone to smaller feedings moreoftenI was so happy when Wendy decided to try the feeding tubeyesterday as I was looking to Wendy for guidance But then itwas so very sad to here this morning that Cricket had passed duringthe nightAnnie ate well for a bit but then stopped swallowing andthen again the next feeding she didn't want to take anythingShortly after that she was resting on my stomach as I patted herand she let out a cry and then I noticed that she had stopped breathing...It was over...I believe she was comfortable and new she was lovedright up to the end...Some are very close all their life and others. like Anie its just at the endbut it doesn't make it any easier to say good buy.Michelle said it all.."

Re: Annie is gone
Tad, I am so sorry about Annie. It is wonderful that you and she became closer near her end - and she will certainly live on in the changes that she brought about in your feral kitty.

Re: Annie is gone
Tad, What a lovely tribute to Annie. I am so glad that she had some time with you and was just not left on the street or euthanized in the vet's office.I keep re-reading your post, wondering why her behavior changed, but I just can't figure it out. Maybe, she just wanted something to call her own. Please accept my sympathies and gratitude that you gave Annie a home.

Re: Annie is gone
Tad, I am really, really sorry. The number of deaths have been overwhelming in the last week or two. It is heartbreaking. I am glad that Annie went so quickly and without pain, if she had to go, but she should not have had to go. I am so glad that you took care of her, and that she did not end her life in a cage, buy on a bed with someone who loved her. Michelle
Re: Annie is gone
Tad, I am so sorry for you; it is so hard to lose a beloved kitty. They are all beloved even if some are not as affectionate, aren't they? Annie is now with all of the furangels.

Re: Annie is gone
Tad, I am so sorry to hear that your Annie passed on. I hope you have some comfort in knowing that if you hadn't taken her in, her life might not have been much living in that cage. I know she was happy that you did. I was very surprised that she passed as peacefully as she did. What a blessing for you both. I so wish Cricket would have passed that smoothly. I am haunted by his death, but I try to reassure myself that that's the way it had to be. For some reason, God must have wanted it that way, because of the timing and everything else. I also smiled when you wrote about your feral cat. It feels good to win the trust of an animal. I hope that you will take the good out of what happened with Annie, although it's so hard to let them go. You must be an angel to take in these FeLV kitties. And a very strong person to watch them go. God bless you Tad. :) Wendy __ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

RE: Annie is gone
I am so sorry, Tad, to hear about your beloved, beautiful Annie. I know that when she came to live with you she had a whole new lease of life. I'm glad that in her new life with you she knew what it was to be truly cared for and loved I'm glad she knew that right until the end, and did not pass away alone. Thank you for taking Annie into your home---and thank you too for all that you do for kitties in need of help and a real home. You are in my thoughts on this sad day.
