Foster Tawny has been put to rest. :o(

I had the very difficult task of having my 14 year old foster kitty, Tawny, put to rest today. :( As I had suspected from the start, my vet confirmed that she did in fact have mammary gland cancer. Tawny also was in kidney failure and had succumbed to a very nasty upper respiratory virus as well. At the advice of my vet, we chose to end her suffering. Tawny was blessed with a very long life of 14 years, and she was a loved member of our family during the past 6 months that she has been with us.

Rest in peace, sweet Tawny girl ... you will be missed!:(

Have a safe journey to the bridge, Tawny.

God Speed.

Why do we have to make so many tough decisions so close to the holidays???

Prayers and hugs......

Rest easy, Tawny!!:(

So sorry. It's a comfort to know Tawny is not suffering anymore.

One more kitty angel in time for Christmas. Rest in peace, sweet Tawny, your suffering is over.

I'm so sorry to hear about Tawny. She was such a sweet girl and now she is at peace and she won't have to suffer anymore. She was a wonderful kitty and now her pain has ended and I know she is looking down on you from the RB bridge thanking you for all the love you gave her over the last 6 months.

I'm so sorry that you had to make this decision. We all came to love Tawny and she will be missed.

Poor Tawny, RIP little girl. :(

I'm so sorry, Kim. Can't help it, I'm crying my eyes out. This brings me right back to last Saturday...:(

RIP sweet Tawny. When you see Tubby, tell him I say Hi.

This was sad enough and then Debbies' post made the dam break.:( :( :(
I'm so sorry to hear about Tawny. Bless her heart. I'm so glad she was with you and being well cared for before she had to leave this world.
{{{HUGS}}} to you Kim. Godspeed Tawny

I'm so sorry that Tawny had to go. :( I hope it will be a comfort to you that she's not suffering now. She was very loved, and I know you'll never forget her. Glad you were there with her to say goodbye.

Rest in peace, sweet Tawny.

Thank you all for the kind words ... I sent Tif an e-mail regarding Tawny, but haven't gotten a reply yet. I'm sure with the holiday rush, she is very busy at work. Gosh, I really hated to have to tell her this just one week before Christmas!:( :( :(

That was going to be my question... What about her other Mommie... I thought about Tawney when I was on the boat and wanted to ask about that situation..

Maybe that whole move for her was to spare her having to do that herself with her sweet baby.. I keep saying, "HE has a plan". I am sorry you had to go through this again after what you have been through yourself not long ago but at least you have the peace of mind that she was well cared for and was well loved.. Poor girl. RIP beautiful girl, both your Mommies will miss you.

OH, how heartbreaking. :( RIP Tawny.

I'm so sorry.
She did have a nice long life and she was in good hands during her last days.

Play merrily at the Bridge Tawny!

:( RIP, Tawny.

Kim, I'm so sorry to hear this. RIP sweet Tawny.:(

:( :( RIP Sweet Tawny. I'm sure Tubby was there to meet you at the RB. Play happy together.

I'm sorry Kim. RIP little one!

I am so sorry for you and Tawny.:(

I'm very sorry, Kim! :(

Sounds like your decision was the best you could do for her in this state, but it's sad.

And I agree, too many precious little kitty souls are going to the RB these days, leaving an empty space in our hearts...

R.I.P. little Tawny.

The Dinner,at The Village Restaurant,will be in Tawnys Honor,and he wil get the First Steak.And I know how tough,that it is,to make that decision,and Tawny,certainly had a Wonderfu Life,with You,and you will see him,again.

Oh Kim, I am so sorry to hear this sad news.
My heart aches for you having to go through this again dear friend.

Rest in Peace sweet Tawny.
