I am so sorry................

[Prairie Purrs]

Kym, you and Jas came to my cats' rescue during a horrible, stressful time. If I had still had the cats in my house in Denver when the city inspectors came through, I'm certain that the inspectors would have taken them away.

We just don't know what happened with Katie and Cricket. I do know that you loved them and took care of them as if they were your own, and you did everything that could have been done to try to save them. I'm so sorry that you had to go through this shock and sadness. It wasn't your fault, and there's nothing to forgive.

If all goes smoothly, I'll have a new home soon and can gather the scattered clan back together--including baby tabby boy Calawahake, who is a gift in every sense and an absolute sweetie. The house I've found has several huge walk-in closets that I expect will become feline havens, a staircase to run up and down, and a bay window for looking out and sunning.

I don't know why Katie and Cricket had to leave. Whatever happened can't be explained and certainly couldn't have been predicted. I'm certain, though, that they'll be watching over both our households and the creatures therein.

This is so tragic for all involved

RIP sweet Katie and Cricket

Kym,

You have absolutely NOTHING to apologize for. You did EVERYTHING you possibly could for those precious babies. You also went above and beyond, in my opinion.

Cricket and Katie finally realized the love they so deserved. You and Jas are to be commended for what you did, not only for Cricket and Katie, but for the rest of Penny's cat as well.

I'm just thankful that whatever it was that took Cricket and Katie, didn't affect YOUR cats as well. That surely would've been a catastrophe.

Love and hugs,

Donna and crew

I am deeply sorry for all involved. Katie and Cricket must have important jobs at the Bridge. And they got to go together.

I need to offer apologies here to Kym and Jas, for not reacting quickly enough to spare them from having to take care of Katie and Cricket at the end. Frankly, I was in complete shock and denial after Kym's first call, and I didn't know what was happening, and it happened so fast. My confusion and slow reaction cost me the chance to say goodbye to my girls, and I'll never forgive myself for that.

No apologies necessary Penny, I was honored to care for the girls, and I am still honored that they warmed up and became a part of this family. If even for a short time. Katie had Catitude! and Cricket became the best bud of a small boy, even to sharing his cheetos.

I truly felt that with them being sent home to be cared for they had a fighting chance, I wish we had answers, but I am grateful that everyone else is fine, that the bloodwork on them came back normal. We may never know what took the girls, but I do know they were loved and cherished their entire lives. Thank you for letting us be a part of their lives. Our lives are better for having known them.
