Yes. When you see skeletal deformities, it is well to be aware that there may be internal problems as well. She clearly had an ideal life during the time she was here. I am very sorry for you loss of this perfect little person.

Dear Cheryl,

I am so sorry for your loss. Mari always knows the perfect way of expressing what we can only feel in our hearts. We all share in your grief and I will assure you that the sweetest, most gentle girl met your babies at the Bridge as her first assignment. Please take care.

... and the greatest of these is love.

they came to you because there were things that only you could give them, and that only they could teach you. you gave them what they needed to continue their journeys....

GLOW to guide them on their way, and to heal the hearts of all who loved them. i'm so sorry for your pain.

Thank you all, for your warm words of support. Each one of you is so special to me and the special babies in our lives. I don't think I have ever told you all, but I am the Western Area Director of Forever Friends Humane Society in Oklahoma CIty. I am the cat person. I never intended to rescue special needs, I just see them as cats that need help! And my heart especially goes out to special needs and to seniors! I have now been contacted about taking in a deaf white cat that is Felv positive, that is currently in Houston. I said "of course!" .... so I guess, this one needs me now, and Dr. Claw and Flora have given their blessing.
Dr. Claw was my love...14 years old, three legged boy...he was our mascot and our therapy cat. My friend Marti Lombardi is with Best Friends in Kanab Utah...she posted this about Dr. Claw on the BF site: http://network.bestfriends.org/MessageB ... e0&t=28450
ANd she posted this about Flora: http://www.network.bestfriends.org/ffhs/news/29010.html
I wanted to share their story with everyone that ever had a special baby, to know they bring so much into our lives and deserve every chance at life that we can give them!
Cheryl

Many purrrrrrs your way
thank you for giving Flora a loving home, something she never would have known without you.

Purrrs for Dr. Claw, too, it takes an extra special cat to be a therapy cat.
