Gary (the cat)

[Medusa]

Moesha, I'm really sorry about Gary. This is what I experienced w/Buddy just two weeks ago. Yes, feline leukemia is very contagious. If the cats share a litter box, drink from the same water bowl, exchange saliva through sneezing, etc., they can get it, too, so there was no option for our boys but to help them to the Bridge. Gary looked so much like the feral that I fed for years, Old Tom. He was a loner, too, but he sure sired a lot of kittens. At least now your heart will be able to rest knowing that Gary is healthy and well at the Bridge. RIP, Gary and peace to you, Moesha and Mom.

I'm so sorry to read this about Gary. I'm sure you mom was shocked and wasn't expecting to receive an empty cage.

I'm glad that Juliet is ok, and thankful that she tested negative (I'm guessing she was negative).

Play hard at the bridge gary. My mom and dad's boy squeek just went there today as well, so you'll have a buddy to be with. He can be a bit of a bully, but he's a good boy, just like you.

Rest in peace, gary.

I am so sorry to hear this. What a handsome boy - wonderful markings and face.

Hugs to you for feeding Gary. He is happy and healthy at the Bridge.

And...with him being Felv positive, perhaps there are lives being saved. But how sad that Gary's passing had to be the cause.

I'm glad that Juliet is ok, and thankful that she tested negative (I'm guessing she was negative).

Juliet is one of the ones that has been here for a year and a half. The new girl that went and was "snipped and tipped" today doesn't have a name. She does look a lot like Juliet though. The unnamed girl did test negative though.

Oh gosh, I'm sorry!!! I thought I was getting something wrong!

Glad the unnamed little one was negative!

I am so sorry to read this. What a beautiful cat Gary was, such a big lovable looking boy, I can see why you are so shocked. I am sorry it didn't turn out the way you anticipated. Rest in peace Gary knowing you were loved dearly, you really were.

I REMEMBER WHAT MY VET SIAD WHEN I TOOK GEM AND CHARCOAL IN TO SEE IF THEY COULD BE SAVED AND IT TURNED OUT THAT THEY TOO HAD FIP.
THAT IT WAS A KIDNESS TO TAKE THEM IN BEFORE THE DISEASE TOOK OVER AND THE POOR CATS HAD TO SUFFER.
I REMEMBER THE ANGELS I TRIIED TO HELP BUT COULDNT.
GEM , KARINA THE LITTLE MOTHER HAD HAD TO BE STOPPED FROM NURSING HER BABIES AT 5 WEEKS, AS SHE HAD FIP TOO.
THAT BROKE HER HEART.AND NUGGET HURT BY MEAN KIDS.
SCRATCHY, SCRATCHIER , ORANGE BLOSSOM , ORANGIE AND FREDDY VICTIMS OF CARELESS DRIVERS.
TIGER AND ROADBLOCK WHO WERE INJURED AND HAD TO BE PTS.
AND SOME WHO NEVER CAME AROUND AGAIN, CATZILLA FOR ONE.
YOU DID YOUR VERY BEST FOR GARY, WHO LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE THOAMS TABBY.
AND AS MY VET SAID , HE WONT SUFFER FROM THAT SAD DISEASE.
HE WILL JOIN OUR STRAY ANGEL AT THIER STRIP MALL, AND THERE WILL BE A BANQUET THERE IN YOUR HONOR WITH GARY, IN HIS WINGS OF SILVER AND GOLD THERE TO GREET YOU.
ONE FINE DAY.
