Rest In Peace, Tabbygail


UPDATE 10/18/2009:
We would like to thank everyone who has purred and prayed for our Tabbygail. We just returned from a sad journey to the vet -- Tabs went to the Rainbow Bridge tonight. She had been doing well with the tumor therapy but developed another serious problem that sometimes occurs when there has been pleural effusion. The lining of her lungs had become inflamed and stiffened up, causing her not to be able to expand her lungs to breathe. This is a very serious condition with a very poor prognosis. Her breathing became very labored today and we couldn't risk her getting critical during the night, so we made the very difficult decision to help her cross the Bridge now. We are heart broken, but she is now free of struggling. Thank you again to the CB for caring ...'Kaika's (and Tabbygail's) mom


UPDATE 10/1/2009:
A big thank you to CBers who have been purring for Tabbygail. Her vet visit this afternoon went well. She didn't have as much fluid in her lungs as she did in previous weeks, and the vet seems to think that maybe she is responding to the alternative treatment. She has seemed more herself this the past couple of days, even playing with a fur mousie! Thank you so much, everyone who is purring for our girl! Love, 'Kaika and his mom
My mom and I would really appreciate any blogosphere purrs for my big sister Tabbygail. Jeter put the word out in his diary and Catsters have been very kind.
Tabbygail has been diagnosed with a tumor, which the vet said is in a place that would make surgery very risky. So even if our humans could afford to send her to UC Davis for the surgery, she may not survive it. My mom, our vet and our acupuncturist/TCM practitioner worked out a treatment plan together: chest taps to relieve the fluid build-up and an alternative medicine formula of medicinal mushroom extracts which has been successful in shrinking tumors in studies done in Japan and other countries.
When my mom took Tabbygail to the vet about four weeks ago, the vet didn't think she would live through the weekend, but after the first chest tap, she felt better. She has had two more chest taps since then and has been on the medicine for 1 week. She seem to be having a good day so far. Tabby also is hyperthyroid, and is on meds for that, too.
So that's what is going on with our Tabbygail. She is such a sweet little brown tabby girl and she can use some healing energy, purrs and prayers. Since we don't have a blog, CBers can send their purrs to Tabbygail's Catster page or just send them out to the Universe ... Tabby will get them either way! Thanks so much, KC. Your friend, 'Kaika

Leave comments here since they don't have a blog.

The Bridge's Newest Angel


Very Sad News! My Jake was hit by a car and died last night. I am writing you to ask that you keep me in your prayers. I have lost the info to get into my blogger account and am completely devastated. I still have to tell the kids the bad news. Please just keep us in your hearts. Love always, Danielle.

Bridge Angels


The loss of a furry does leave a hole in your heart. We all know this because we have all been through it, sometimes multiple times.
So whenever there is a loss, we all feel the pain.

Purrs need for Sanuk

We have just found another lump on Sanuk - this time on her shoulder where injections are given and my first fear was the dreaded sarcoma that sometimes results from injections being given over and over in the same place. The vet did an aspiration of the lump and the cells do not appear to be cancer so we'll wait a month. If the lump is not gone then, Sanuk will have to again go into surgery. At 16 and a 1/2 and having undergone two major surgeries in the last 6 months, I shudder to even think about her having to go through that again. But she seems to feel good - eats well, talks all the time, and she's gained a little weight since the surgery in the spring. Thank you so much for keeping Sanuk in your prayers. ~~ email received 8/19/2009

Sanuk, my 16 year old kitty cat has been through so much this past year (stomatosis, an immune system disorder that causes ulcerated gums and required the removal of all but her canine teeth), a raging infection which, thank goodness antibiotics finally cured. When she went in for a check up on monday, they found a small mass in her lower abdominal/breast area. The earliest they could schedule her for surgery was 7/1 (no other vet in this area could even see her until the first week of july). I just got a call from her vet that they've had a cancellation and can do the surgery this friday (6/19). Please pray for sanuk and her vet/surgeon. Thank you so much.

Rest In Peace, Churchill

We just learned that Churchill had to be helped to the Bridge on June 30th, after a long fight with cancer.
I am still getting details and will post as they become available.
Today (8/5) was his birthday.

Rest in Peace, Caesar

** UPDATE **

Thank you all so much for your kind words, they have meant so much over the last few days of misery. Caesar sadly died this afternoon, after battling on very bravely.
He died at home with me and the family. He was a wonderful cat, like so many rescued strays are, and a loving and caring addition to my family. I will always miss him and his boyfriend Max, who died in 2003. Purrs and Peace ~Mom Claudia


**********************

Please purray for my cat Caesar - he is nearly 19 years old and he has hind leg paralysis.
He is a very brave cat. I rescued him when he was 10 years old from a stray centre, he had no hair and no teeth and had been violently abused. I love him so much, he has been a very happy , feisty, intelligent companion for the last nine years. Please purray for him. Thank you. Claudia x

Claudia, we will send ours strongest purrs to handsome Caesar and to you. Fanks fur sharing your inspiring story wif alls of us. Love & Purrs, KC
