Thank you, Jenn, for giving your best to her and giving her every possible chance. Thanks also to the vet tech who took in a dangerous cat.
I'm sure she's at peace now.
RIP Ally.

RIP Ally.
When a friend lost his mother, another friend said to him "I'm sad for you and I'm happy for you". He explained that he, of course, he was sad that he no longer had his beloved mother with him but that he was also happy because his mother was at peace and so was my friend, who had taken care of her for many years. It was a rough road for both of them. And it was a rough road for you and Ally, Jenn. Not only did you not let Ally down, you gave her a chance that perhaps someone less patient and compassionate might not have. Try to see the situation as you and the vet tech being the persons who gave Ally a better life, both here and elsewhere. She couldn't continue the way she was; something had to change for her and, although it isn't the change you and all of us were hoping for, it was the change that she needed in order to find peace. Ease your mind, Jenn. Ally loves you and so do we.
Never before has Rest In Peace meant quite as much as it does now.
Ally has not been at Peace for quite some time. :(
While it is true that she started out life as a happy kitten, even before she came to the USA, she was a tormented soul. For reasons unkown, she would inflict pain to her humans (Julie, Jennie, Amanda).
Julie tolerated Ally because she loved her. But I KNOW Julie feared for her baby, Calista. What if Ally bit HER?
Jennie tolerated her because of a very strong sense of obligation. Jennie went above and beyond the call of duty to keep Ally safe. But it became apparent that Ally would never rejoin her family. :(
Amanda, even though she had no reason to take this job, tolerated Ally for at least a month. God bless her for trying. It could not have been an easy decision to put Ally to sleep. But maybe she helped all of us involved with a very hard decision.
I was saddened to hear she was gone, but I am going to be 100% honest.....I was also relieved. And everyone involved should be proud that the attempt was made to keep Ally happy. But as life often reminds us, we don't always win.
Amen.
Jenn, please don't doubt yourself. You did so much and had so much support, prayers and input (Nancy Efrusy, vets, etc.) Ally was a unique one of a kind cat; as are all our kitties. We find it difficult to accept that we just couldn't reach her to help her the way WE wanted to. God had something else planned. Bless you for all the work you did with her.Quote:

Rest in peace, Ally!
Jenn
You did far and above for precious Ally and did not fail her by any means. All of us hoped that Ally would find peace and peace she has found.
Jenn, I'm sorry that this happened:(but please don't blame yourself. You did so much more than most people would have done in this situation. Now Ally is finally at peace. RIP Ally.
Oh Jenn... you tried SO hard and you did everything you could. You should in NO way feel like you failed her. You gave her more of a chance than most people would have.
Just as someone else said... Rest in PEACE means so much more saying it for Ally. She IS at peace now Jenn and it's because you helped her find it.
{{hugs}}
She is now at peace with everything, herself included.
Rest easy now Ally, knowing that you are loved.
You will always be Pet Talks biggest mystery that we were unable to solve.
Run free sweet girl.
:(
Hold your tail high now, no more fear.
Godspeed to the Bridge, Ally
You will meet those who cared so much for you again, and get to share the Love. One Fine Day.
ALLYS AT THE BRIDGE HELPING GIVE OUT THE WINGS OF SILVER AND GOLD TO ALL THE NEW ARRIVALS.
SHES LAREADY CHOSEN A RENDEZ VOUS, A FANTASTIC PLACE IN TASMANIA WHERE SHE AND HER FAMILY WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN.
ONE FINE DAY. :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
I am as sad as everyone else to read this post, but i also feared this would be the outcome,please don't ever think Jenn i think bad of you,I have the utmost respect for you and how long you tolerated such a difficult situation, there is no way i would have been able to do what you did, I have alway's supported everything you have said and done,you gave your heart and soul to the needs of Ally,everyone could see that,and i admire the strength and courage it took to do so, like everyone else i just hoped there would be a miracle for poor Ally.
She is at peace now, and i guess we will never know what made her like she was,very sad for you all, giant hugs to you Jenn also, this has been a traumatic experience for you too.
My heart breaks for everyone involved, especially Ally. RIP, dear one.
