Sasha, Beautiful Black Stray Kitty Options

[Flossie's Mom]

Five short days with this kitty who stole my heart right away. She came to our farm on Saturday and was sooooo loving and happy to be in from the weather. Called the vet on Monday for an appointment to have her checked and get her shots and make arrangements to spay her. Figured someone dropped her off as we have no nearby neighbors. She was very thin but thought she may be pregnant.

Had a blizzard for two days and I was so glad I had seen her out by the barn on Saturday. It was obvious she had been someone's pet as she was very loving to everyone and had been around other cats & dogs. She had no fear and made herself at home in one of the bedrooms.

The news at the vet when we took her in to be checked was that she was not pregnant, was 2-3 years old which surprised me as she was a very petite little thing, had been spayed but the blood test was not good. Feline Leukemia! Though she had only been here 5 days I was devistated at this news.

Alternatives for this beautiful soul were so slim that I really had none. Can't turn her out again to spread the disease and suffer, we have other cats in the household, very slim chance to find her a home with other cats with the disease in our area.....

We brought her home to bury where she had at least five days of food, warmth & love. She will be the beginning of our pet cemetary that will be in an area that I have always wanted to put a bench for people to sit & enjoy the tranquil feeling that place has. Very fitting for such a sweet girl.

She went to the Rainbow Bridge knowing I loved her as I stayed with her to the end and told her how sorry I was. She joined Lady exactly 2 years to the day and just 2 days before my beloved Flossie's 2 year angelversary. My heart is broken once again.

Edited to add some pictures of this sweet girl. A couple her first day & the others 2 days later. She closed her eyes because of the flash. You can see how small she was in the one by the pillows.



RIP Sasha
