Purrs Request for Sootie
About 2 years ago the shelter where I volunteer took in a stray cat, who
they named Mrs Tufty. About 2 days after she arrived she gave birth to 3 lovely kittens. The kittens all found homes once they were old enough but Mrs Tufty remained at the shelter for another 18 months, always overlooked when someone came to choose a new kitty. She became very withdrawn and would spend a lot of her time hiding away. My daughter has a friend called Jill who she brought up to the shelter earlier this year. Jill fell in love with Mrs Tufty and took her home. It was a perfect match, Jill is an older lady who is home all day and therefore had lots of time and patience to bring Mrs Tufty out of her shell. Mrs Tufty was re-named Sootie and did come out of her shell beautifully, she became a cuddly cat and soon had Jill perfectly trained to pander to her every whim. In recent weeks Sootie has been off her food. She has been to the vet numerous times as antibiotics were not helping so today Sootie went in for anaesthesia so the vet could take xrays, look down her throat etc. Unfortunately during the examination the vet has found 3 large cancerous tumours in her throat so the decision has been made to put her to sleep. I am so, so sad. This poor little lady had finally found the fabulous home she deserved yet spent such a short time there. Could I please ask for purrs for Sootie's safe journey to the bridge, that all her former shelter buddies there will be waiting to meet her and for Jill's breaking heart? Thank you Sharon & Smudgie |

That short time was a preview of the Bridge and now she can settle down and wait for Jill and tell everyone there that she had the perfect full-time human Mommie. All the cats whose humans disappear for HOURS every day will be envious and they will want to meet Jill when she gets there. Waiting is. -- Will in New Haven |

Thank you Sharon & Smudgie Yes, purrs on the way, but it isn't all sad. She did find her forever home and got to enjoy her life at the end. It's sort of like when I adopted Jackie, a sick old scrawny girl. She also died after too short a time, but she had her home and ruled it well during her reign. |

Thank you Sharon& Smudgie Oh that poor, poor baby! I'm *SO* glad she found the love she so justly deserved before going to the Bridge. Hy heart goes out to Jill and I'm sharing her years. Purrs for Jill's breaking heart and a candle will be lighted to help Sootie find her way to the Bridge where she'll be joyfully met by Prissy Sissy, Percy, Bandit, Hunter and Sammy. May they enjoy the sunshine and butterflies until their humans can come to claim them again. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net |

Purrs for Sootie's swift journey to RB and for Jill's heart. She was a lucky cat to be adopted by such a loving meowmie so at least her last few months were very happy. This is a touching story and I have just lit a little candle to guide her way. It is mistletoe scented. I have a small store of candles that I save for just such situations. Tweed |
