Godspeed, Kasha...

[Glacier]

I let Kasha go this afternoon. She was not improving despite intensive treatment. Her condition was only getting worse. She was barely responsive to me this morning. She purred when I held her, but she had no strength left. She could barely stand on her own. She would not eat or drink. An attempt at force feeding her failed. The jaundice was getting worse. After 17 years, her little body just had no more fight left.

I held her for a long time and told her how much I love her. Her crossing was peaceful and quick. She was ready to go. I would never have been ready to let her go.

I knew when she arrived that our time together might be short, but 15 months seems way too short. I could not have loved her more if I had known her all her life. I am glad she found her way here. Despite this broken heart, I would do it again. Loving her was worth this pain.

Godspeed my marshmellow girl. I will miss you.

[Queen of Poop]

Oh I'm so very sorry for your loss. 15 months isn't nearly long enough. Thank goodness you were able to give her all of your love for that time. Will miss you Kasha you white beauty you! Tears for you both.

[Grace]

I'm so very sorry to hear this. I was hoping she would respond - at least for a little while.

Safe trip to the Bridge, Kasha. {{{{hugs}}}} for you, Glacier.

[catmandu]

I think that Kasha was so lucky to find a Great Furr Ever Home so late in life, where she could finally recieve the Love and Affection she missed for most of her Life.
Your time may not have been long, but it was truly the Best Time Of Kashas life.
There are few people who would adopt a Senior Cat like Kasha, and Kasha having her Turkey Dinner at the Pet Angel Thanksgiving Day Party says she has something to be Thankful for, and the time she spent with YOU.
Shes going to miss you but will drop in and pester the Dogs, and come visit you once in a while, until you are reunited.
One Fine Day.

Oh Tamara how heartbreaking, i am so sorry :(. You gave sweet Kasha the best 15 months of her life and she will be forever grateful for that.

{{Hugs}}

Sweet dreams Kasha.

[jenluckenbach]

Kasha was one lucky girl, as you were to be graced by her presence. She was a cherished member of your family and that will be with her (and you) forever.

I am so sorry that you time together was short, but we all know that QUALITY is what counts in life, not quantity.

That picture of her is superb!! Cherish it and all your memories. {{{{{HUGS}}}}

[Felicia's Mom]

I am sorry to hear of your loss.

Kasha was so very Beautiful in the picture you shared with us .What a sparkle *

I can't type any better than Phred right now, he said everything!!!

[rg_girlca]

I am so sorry on the loss of your beloved Kasha. What a very lovely girl.
Bless you Tamara for adopting this old girl in the first place. Without you, only God knows what would have happened to this beauty. You might have had her for only 15 short months, but I bet they were the best 15 months of her life.

Rest in Peace beautiful Kasha and have fun on the RB.

((((((HUGS)))))) Tamara

[Catty1]

She purred when I held her

She loved you, and knew who loved her.

Hugs to you, peace to dear beautiful marshmallow Kasha.

[AbbyMom]

I'm so sorry to hear about Kasha. RIP little Kasha. Play hard at the rainbow bridge.

[kuhio98]

Rest in peace, beautiful girl. You were loved.

[Lizzie]

I am so shocked, and so saddened by this news. As you said, her seventeen years, most of which was not spent in being lovingly cared for by you, had made her body too frail to fight. I'm glad it was all so quick. It does make it easier when they are ready to let go, the look in their eyes tells you that they are more than willing to slip away, but it's still so very, very hard to accept. I'm sorry for your loss, and the pain you are going through, will go through for months. We'll all miss seeing photos of Kasha at the 'nip.

[Uabassoon]

I'm so sorry to hear this news. I know that Kasha enjoyed being a pampered princess in your home and she appreciates all that you did for her.

[Edwina's Secretary]

No, No, No, No...please don't go Kasha...you are so beautiful and so beloved....

but I am wrong...you will never go....

[RedHedd]

:( I am SO sorry to hear of Kasha's passing over the bridge. Godspeed you gorgeous fluffy white beauty. You will be so missed :(

[Karen]

Soft as a cloud
Sweet as sugar and
White as the Yukon snow
You graced this earth for 17 years
With your soft-thunder-rumble purrs
Your bounteous white fur
And most of all, your love
There's a pretty new cloud at the Rainbow Bridge
Send your momma snowflakes and windowfrost
To let her nknow you send her love
And are happy and healthy once again.

Rest in peace, Kasha.

[trayi52]

Tamara, sorry to hear of Kasha's passing. She was a beautiful girl.

Godspeed to the bridge,Kasha. :(


Willie :(

[Sonia59]

Tamara, I am so sorry to hear this. I hoped Kasha would get better.
It hurts and you will never forget Kasha, but keep in mind the 15 fantastic months she had with you. I am happy I knew her through your stories and pictures ;)

RIP sweet white lady, and say Hi to Twicket for us at the RB.

[chocolatepuppy]

I'm so sorry about Kasha. :( She was beautiful and I'm sure those 15 months held more love for her than she'd ever known. May she Rest in Peace.

[Barbara]

Tamara, I am so sorry Kasha had to leave :(
But on the other side I think I know how happy she has been these last 15 months- you can see it by looking at her eyes.

[Killearn Kitties]

I'm so sorry you have lost beautiful Kasha so suddenly, but so glad that she spent those last months with you.

Rest in peace, Kasha.

[kittycats_delight]

I don't even know what to say. Kasha was one of my favorites here. She was such a special girl. The tears are flowing here and I only knew her from PT but she so touched my heart. The impact this girl had on your heart in such a short time gives light to her beautiy inner and outer. She came to you to help heal your heart from the passing of dear Twicket and she was a godsend. Now Twicket needs her at the bridge. I guess they feel her job was done and you showed her love unwavering and true and she knew it and loved you back in return. Someone must have felt you needed another guardian angel. She will watch over you like the others you have loved. Godspeed Kasha. Your mamma loves you more than words can describe only her heart can tell how much.

God Bless you Tamara for taking her into you home and your heart and showing her how special she was and how much she could be loved. She will treasure you always for this as I know you will treasure her memory like a priceless jewel.

Rest In Peace Beautiful Kasha. You will be missed terribly. You will be forever loved and forever remembered.

[Kirsten]

I'm very sad to read that you have lost your beautiful white girl! (I remember how I admired that photo of her when you once posted it in my photo thread).

She was blessed with a very long life and - as it sounds - she didn't feel ill until her finals days. I wish you had have more time with her, more time to love her, and more time to give her a good home. But she knew she was loved when she left...

R.I.P. beautiful Kasha!

Kirsten

[GreyhoundGirl]

Play hard at the RB, Kasha

RIP Sweet Kasha

[krazyaboutkatz]

Tamara, I'm so sorry to hear about Kasha's passing.:( Although you only had 15 months with her, I'm sure that these were the best ones of her life. Now she's painfree and young again waiting for you up at the Bridge until you meet again. RIP sweet Kasha.:(

[Soapets]

I can't say anything more than what everyone else has already said....... You're in my thoughts and prayers....................

[Abby&Buddy'sMom]

Oh No!! I am so very sorry about the passing of such a sweet girl Kasha. She was truely a beautiful girl and so very fortunate to have known the love you have given her, even though it was only 15 short months.I remember when you first introduced her to all of PT and how happy she seemed when she finally found her true home filled with the love that she deserved to have. She was as blessed to have you and your family , as you were to have her. RIP dear Kasha, you are free now.

[CultureJunky]

I'm sorry to hear about Kasha's passing away. She knows that she was loved like she'd never been loved before in life. My thoughts are with you at this time of your grieving.

[smokey the elder]

I'm so sorry about Kasha. That precious girl had 15 really good months with you.

[Russian Blue]

Kasha was an absolutely beautiful girl. Look at that wonderful fur and the contentment in her eyes. I'm sorry you lost her but remember that you provided a warm and loving home to this angel.

RIP Kasha. :(

[shais_mom]

I'm sorry I came into this late -
Godspeed Kasha.
So sorry for your loss.

[catlover4ever]

I know 15 months is a short time but you gavbe Kasha love that she would have never known if she had not found her way to you. She left this world knowing how very special she was. You were blessed to have loved her. I know at this time words are no consolation, but know in your heart that Kasha is looking down on you, thanking you for being able to let her go peacefully and to not suffer any longer.

RIP Sweet Kasha, play hard with all of those who greeted you on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

[Bengalz]

I'm so sad to hear about Kasha. She was a wonderful old soul and I'm so glad she had the time she did with you Tamara. It was, as others have said, likely the best time of her life. As well you allowed her to pass with grace and dignity. Thank you for being there for Kasha when she needed you most.

RIP sweet one - I know you'll be smiling down on your mommy from the bridge and saying thank you.

Many hugs and prayers for your and your crew,
Betty

Tamara, I'm so sorry that I'm only seeing this now. I hate to reopen such a fresh wound, but I have to send you my condolences. As you might or might not have noticed, I'm not able to come around much so I totally missed that she was sick.

Play hard at the bridge Kasha. I knowthat your last 15 months on Earth was a very pleasant one filled with lots of love. Please tell Payton I miss him.
