Forever Willa

**cats4ever** · 03-17-2018, 02:27 PM

Last night, Willa didn't seem to feel well, and by morning, she had vomited all of her food. She ate breakfast, and seemed brighter. I left to go to the humane society, when my boyfriend called me and said that she had started urinating all over the house. I rushed home to find her non-stop vomiting and urinating blood.
I knew that her kidneys had caught up with her, and I took her to the emergency clinic for euthanasia.
I didn't want to hospitalize her on IV fluids, a mere temporary fix.
It was unbelievably difficult, but in my heart I knew I had to relief her suffering. She would have been 21 on May 1.

Dearest Willa, today you looked at me and said: Mom, I love you so much, but I am so tired. I want to eat, but I can’t. Please let me go.
I knew then that it was time, and with such an incredibly heavy heart, I set you free. It was the right thing to do, but still, the guilt and sadness are overwhelming.
Willa, even though you never liked the other kitties, and never stopped being feisty, I’m certain you will have an abundance of new friends in the eternal sunshine at the Rainbow Bridge.
Forever yours, your mom.

Rest in peace, pretty girl. Our condolences, sweetie. She is no longer suffering but happy and whole, and you will see her again, some fine day.

I am so sorry.
She will be waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge!

My heart cracked at seeing her name.

Heidi, you did the right thing. I cannot imagine the pain you are in right now. I just hope that happy memories will comfort you as time goes on.

I am so, so sorry. Godspeed, sweet Willa.

I am so sorry, you know you did the best for her 💕 You always did the very best for Willa 🌹

Liebe Heidi, es tut mir so sehr leid, aber denke daran das jetzt Willa ist in guten Händen und kann essen und trinken soviel sie will.
Rest in peace dearest Willa. Enjoy yourself at the Rainbow bridge sweetheart.

Thank you so much, everybody!

My heart is broken into a million pieces. I expected her to greet me at the door as usual. Everything is different, the other kitties are confused (like me), as the routine has changed.
All of your support means so much to me.

**Catty1** · 03-18-2018, 12:47 PM

I hope you and your kitties share lots of hugs. It will help you both.

I don't mean to leave your boyfriend out of this - he and the kitties ought to share lots of hugs also.

Mindy is in my lap right now, purring up a storm.
My boyfriend loves the kitties, but he definitely doesn't have the same emotional bond.

Oh Heidi, I'm so very sorry that Willa is gone, but it was the right to do. She is not suffering anymore. My heartfelt sympathy and hugs to you and your boyfriend.

Willa had a good long life with you and was spoiled rotten, I hope that will be some comfort to you. Find your new friends on the RB, sweet Willa - Fister will be there to greet you!
