You were each a blessing to eachother. She is reminding me of the Subaru comercial where a tow truck is delivering a smashed car that looks like everyone died that was in it. The tow truck person is told "they lived" by the police. When he delivers the car to the junk yard he says, "they lived" to the operator. You know what? "Kenya lived" because of you. In spite of everything she went through she made it. How wonderful to have such a long and heathy life with you after all she had been through.

I for one am glad that 14 years ago you responded to the plea to go pick her up and that you persevered to rescue and adopt her. I know she loved being able to live her life on her terms.

God speed Kenya

Prayers of comfort for you Ivenjay. RIP Kenya. So thankful she found you and was able to live the majority of her life in safety and comfort. Bless You!

That's a wonderful story, Kenya was very lucky to have you. Now she has a giant window to look out.

The world is a far better place because of angels like you with the patience and devotion to care for a cat who needed your love desperately. Thank you for giving her a marvelous life.

Godspeed, Kenya, you live among the angels now.

There is surely a special place in heaven for people like you. Ever hear of angels among us? You are one. Bless you in all the days of your life. You gave Kenya the joy she would have never known because you have a heart bigger than life.

Again, my thanks for your very sweet replies, it makes my heart feel better. I wish no accolades for loving her, over the years she definately rewarded me enough. I was just questioned many times by friends and sometimes even my vet for "putting up with her" when so many tame and sweet cats are euthanized in the shelters. I tried to explain that every cat has worth and Kenya was just as worthy as any cat. (My vet was worried about being bit by her and rightly so!)

I know many of you feel the same way and have rescued and loved "unlovable" pets. Sometimes the difficult ones, the hardest to love, end up teaching us about patience and love.

I love the idea of her having a "giant window" to look out and that she is with the angels. Thank you.

You remind my of my DD and her cat, Minou, who I just wrote about here. You and my DD are surely angels of mercy to needy animals, and I admire your dedication and hard work so very much.

I am so sorry for your loss.

Thank you for your kind replies. I knew animal lovers on this board would understand.

I was with her when she passed. After the first shot, which is meant to knock them out, I cuddled her and petted her. The vet said he wasn't sure if she was aware of anything, but then I saw and felt a light push on my hand from her forehead. She would do this when she wanted me to continue petting her. I believe this was her way of telling me "thank you" and "I love you". I think she knew I was there for her on her final journey.

That made me cry. I'm so sorry.

So Sad to hear about the loss of your Fur-Baby Kenya Sending a Hug from Afar.

ivenjay..

By the time I had finished reading the first paragraph of your post I was in tears and am still crying after having read your second post (#7).

Kenya's first 6 or 7 years of her life were clearly pure H**l, but because of you the rest of her life was pure Heaven on Earth. I truly believe that a Divine intervention sent you to rescue her.

Please find comfort in the fact that Kenya knew how very much you loved her,that she was surrounded with that same love when you sent her to The Bridge with dignity and in peace and that Kenya is now happily running like a kitten with all of her new friends thru the sunlit meadows of that most blessed place on the other side of The Bridge.

I will light a candle for your precious girl on the petloss dot com site.
