    My Dear Gentle Willy

    My heart is broken this morning. My dear handicapped Willy went to RB this morning. His little front legs were badly crippled when I stole him from some creeps, who let him out in his condition! Willy was born with "radial aplasia" a condition that left his front legs badly crippled, and useless for defending himself, not to mention scrambling across busy streets. It's a wonder he survived at all outside. He was as an outdoor un-altered cat for who knows how long before I trapped him and took him home. I adored the precious little sweet Willy. My dear boy's story is here...http://[email protected]/members2.htm

    RIP Sweet Willy. You were lucky to have a home that loved you enough to rescue you and keep you our of harm's way. Now that your limbs are healed I can just see you running and playing happily at the RB. Bless you for taking him in QS.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Rest in peace, sweet Willy. You will never be forgotten.

    R.I.P. Sweet Willy, you will be missed by your mommy who loved you very much.

    Willie

    Willy

    Jan, I'm so sorry!!! I had no idea he was ill (or was he?). Anyway, no matter.. he was a good boy, he waited nearly a whole year for you to come back for him and back you came! I remember being so surprised that he'd turned up again and had not been killed by a car on the busy road! He was one of a kind! I remember seeing him in the big picture window and climbing up to the kitchen window to try to gain entry to get him, to no avail..That was one hard case and so glad you (and the people who were feeding him) helped him! Good job and again, i'm sorry about your loss. Have heart, Willy will wait for you elsewhere now.

    Thank You All For Your Kind Words

    I'm getting Willy cremated (something I've done only one other time). I think it will make me feel a little better about losing him with no warning. He had been a bit punkish for a few days, and I had started him on antibiotics, and gave him sub-q fluids yesterday. I think pneumonia hit him, and hard. Being unable to stand upright like a normal cat, I don't think the fluids were able to drain in any way. He was an older kitty, though I have no idea how old, but I'm sure he was a senior kitty. I have such a lump in my throat today. But at least I had my dear boy for a while. I miss him licking my hand, and I'd rub it across his little cheeks so he felt like he was being bathed, something he couldn't do with his malformed legs.

    Oh god, that is so sad... you were so good to him... Do you need the number to the pet cemetary that does the cremations? (ache..) I can find it. It's in, I think Foxboro?

    Ok, I was sad and near tears before, but this really got me. I'm sooo sorry this poor guy had such a hard life, but it sure sounds like you showed him all the best in people and that not all humans were like those that put him out on the streets.

    RIP sweet Willy.

    Oh, gosh . . . the love and kindness you showed by helping him groom was more than I could take, too.

    He Knows that you were probably the only person that ever really cared anything for him, and you did make a difference in his life and you were there till the end. This he will never forget and he will be eternally grateful.

    I'm so sorry for your loss.
