I am so sad to relay that we lost the 5 month old tabby kitten on Wednesday. Gracie came to Lillycat through my sister, Jessica. Jessica had found her in a gas station parking lot, sitting there, with her head on the pavement. She was very sick.

Lillycat nourished her back to health, and had her spayed a week ago Friday. Things went drastically wrong. Gracie had a chronic condition, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and as a result of the stressors of the spay, went into heart failure. We tried everything possible, everything, and sadly, she just wasn't getting any better. We had her PTS on Wednesday. The vet tech said, "she was SO ready".

So sad, such a short life for such a dear little girl. Even at the cardiologists, undergoing a ultrasound, she purred and purred.

She really brought some spice into a house of older cats, and we all miss her dearly.

Gracie, in such a short amount of time, and for one so tiny, you made such an impact on us.
