We had to say goodbye to Elvira today. She had two ulcerated tumors that were infected and the antibiotics were not clearing the infection.
Up until two days ago she was getting around the house, climbing the cat poles and eating well. Sadly, this weekend her health went downhill fast.
She did still enjoy her cat grass this morning. This in my last photo of her.
I cropped it so you wouldn’t have to see the awful tumors.
I am thankful I got to be her mom even though it was only for two years. I am sure her first dad was waiting for her in Heaven.
I will never forget you sweet Elvira.
Thank you to Ann, for the beautiful badge. And thank you to everyone who helped get her to me and with her vet care. And for all the purrs, prayers and woofs.
and thank you to Ingrid for this beautiful badge:

When a soul leaves its mortal body, it is lifted by the wind unseen by adult human eyes, which have been cleared of the ability to experience magic. The soul floats to the nearest river, then rides the current until it enters the River of Life, which gently carries the soul to Rainbow Bridge. The new angel emerges from the water, having discarded all the pain and sorrow of mortal life (often transferred to those mortals nearest to them,). The soul then crosses the River of Life via the Rainbow Bridge and is reunited with their predecessors who loved them while they were mortal; then, a glorious reunion takes place. Their predecessors teach the new angel how to dream visit, to inhibit the bodies of furry and winged creatures so the angel can watch over their loved ones. So, if you see a bird or little animal watching you, or wake up from a dream feeling light of heart, know your angel has been with you. Death is not the end, it’s a temporary separation, and if you never stop loving the angel, you will be together again in a place called Rainbow Bridge
Thank you for these comforting words. I have no doubt we will meet again. XO
I’m so sorry. It’s a shock when they decline unexpectedly, but I think they suffer the least that way. I’m thinking of you in your losses.
Thank you. XO
I am so sorry, Ellen. She was blessed to have you caring for her in her final years. I have no doubt that she knew how much you loved her. <3

Dearest Ellen…….nobody could have cared for her any better than you when her Dad passed away. It was a blessing that she had love and security in her last years thanks to your generosity and kindness. Her tumors took her physically but her spirit will be forever in your heart and that may be your comfort. She was a beautiful girl and now a beautiful Angel……….sending you hugs.
Pam and Teddy

I am so very sorry, Ellen. Hoping you find comfort that Elvira, like other kitties that have found safe shelter, love and respect and kindness to the very end with you, is now at peace free from disease and wuth her Dad. Her journey to you when her Dad passed will always be a special memory filled with kindness and the loving efforts of people that made sure she and Friday had a forever home filled with the love and warmth you give to all kitties that join the Mewoing Crew. Sending hugs and thanks to you for caring about kitties who need a home and love.

I am so very for your loss. At least Elivira didn’t suffer long. That is the worst part. Now she is free of pain and all earthly woes and is enjoying herself in the company of all those beloved pets who have gone before.
She was a beauty, and I’m glad that I chose to do a Meme of her last Friday. It’s a synchronicity in tribute to her. I always say it’s the love that lasts forever.
Love, Wendy and Dani🌈
Thank you. I am glad you did a meme too. XO and love to you.
I am so sorry to hear about Elvira. I got to know her through Kiril’s blog, and was glad she found such a wonderful home after his passing. Perhaps, in some way, she has been reunited with him and Nikita.

Somehow I missed this post. When I read your post today, I went looking back. I’m so sorry for your loss. I doesn’t matter how many you have or how long you have had them, the loss is still painful. Her trip to you is very special. I don’t know if she and Friday were a bonded pair but I’m hoping that the everyone recovers with great memories. Hugs.
Thank you for your kind words. Actually Friday and her were not close and weren’t usually even in the same room. XO
