Lily went to the Bridge this afternoon.
I'm so sorry...we tried to save her.

I can't stop crying.

I'm so sorry. She was fortunate to have met you and your family. She got to know what it felt like to be loved.

My heart breaks for you.....

There is a beautiful flower at the Bridge now. Blooming like nothing on earth can.

God bless you and your sweet Lily.

Lily was such a beautiful kitten. I'm sure Lynxx was right there waiting to great her

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
Oh Pam!
I am SO sorry sweetie! The hardest part of rescuing is when you're called on only to usher them to the bridge.
But she knew love and care, and had a name.
The stomp she left on your hearts is no less for her short time with you.


Fly free, little angel.

Please try not to be sad, I know, hard
. But thank God you found her in time and she was able to pass on to the bridge in loving, caring and compassionate hands and not alone outside. Hang on to that, sweetie. Lily was loved.

Lily
Little sweetheart
. Play peacefully now......

I'm so sorry Pam.
She passed in a much kinder, gentler way because of you rescuing her.

RIP Lily.

Thank you.

We're having such a hard time with this. I'm still sitting here in tears. I just can't believe it. I'm making myself crazy with it all....

If I would have just been able to get her on Saturday instead of Sunday

If I could have gotten her to the vet sooner

If I would have taken her to the ER vet

If I could have just gotten her to eat a little more

And she had peed in the litter box. She was getting the hang of the litter box. And we were so proud of her.
She was just a little baby. All she wanted was to cuddle with us. I just don't see why she couldn't even have that for a little longer.

I'll come back later. Thank you for the PMs and for thinking of us. I just can't stop crying.

I am so sorry that Lily didn't make it! I just caught up with her adorable picture, how much she reminded me of Mollipop and Maia as a tot!
Little Lily is now
, and will never be forgotten

Over the river and through the woods...
Oh Pam, you did everything you could. You showed Lily what love was, which is something some cats never experience in their entire lives. You gave her a gift which is worth more than you will ever know.

The thing with strays is you have NO idea what the health issues were. That could be why you found her. The mothers know when a kitten isn't going to make it and they move that kitten or leave it behind. We've tried to save many abandoned kitten but they went to RB within a few days. A lot of times is just basic genetics. The won't survive no matter what you try. It's heart breaking, but rest assured it is nothing you did (or failed to do). You did everything you could and rest assured, Lily is chasing butterflies and wresting with all the other kittens at RB just waiting to meet you and thank you and give you some long awaited headbutts.


I'm so very sorry.

Lily will always be in your heart and with you in spirit. They do live on just like we do..She will be playing happily now with other kitties and in no pain whatsoever.

Just know that she is looking up at you with her big eyes just like she always did. She does not want you to cry, she will always be with you.

Oh Pam, I am so sorry, HUGE hugs to you. You did everything you could and it's amazing that this little baby got to be loved by you before she passed
