My Special Girl Lola is Gone :-(

[QueenScoopalot]

Lola my dear girl was sent to the Rainbow Bridge last week. She was a rescued feral girl along with her only surviving baby (of 4) Lita. Lola survived on the streets for who knows how long until she came into my life. She had a very rough start, but over the year + she was here, she blossomed from a shy reclusive semi-blind kitty, to a love seeking sweetheart. In the last six months she would greet me every morning and I'd brush her ratty dry coat and sometimes got the honor of rubbing her tummy. The whole time she was here I never saw her groom herself, so her finally allowing me to brush her daily was a treat for me and for her. Lola was never a big eater either...preferring crunchies to wet food. She knew she was different and she'd always defer to the other cats when it came to eating the desired wet food, and I'd always be sure there was some left over for her...and only her. Lola was diagnosed with kidney problems, and for a week or so I was doing the Lactated Ringers but she was going downhill faster than anticipated, and it wasn't fair to keep her going on the fast decline she was going through, so I kissed her goodbye, and told her her daughter Lita will live on for her, and that Lola will always hold a place in my heart. That ratty little girl was a miracle from the day I got her. I feel blessed that I had Lola for as long as I did, despite the fact that she was not only a feral who learned to accept love, but also the very rough story of how she (and her surviving baby) came into my life....http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthre...ight=Lola+Lita I'm quite sure that her bad start contributed to her kidney failure...how could it not? RIP my trusting little former street waif..I loved you when nobody else did...except your sweet little Lita who misses you too. I will kiss your (huge) baby every day, and let her know how hard you tried to survive for her.

Sorry to hear about Lola passing away. She was much loved and taken care, she knew. Now Lila will confort you as well. Lou

So sorry for your loss. How wonderful that she enjoyed your pampering for a treasured year, at least...

Frolic happily at the Bridge, beautiful girl!

I'm so sorry to hear about Lola's passing. She knew that she was loved and that she'll never be forgotten. RIP sweet Lola.

Sorry to hear about Lola, but glad to know that she had someone that made her final time among mortals sweet time.

Lola's new coat, ever so shiny and easy to groom. Eyes now bright and clear, keen to gaze on her Mama. One Fine Day.

Hugs to you, Queen with the heart of Gold.
