Sweetie never let me touch her. She never came into my apartment or met my 4 cats. I had wonderful dreams of taking this little stray cat into my home, but they never came true. i fed her outside for 9 months and i trapped her and took her to the veterinarian. He had to tell me she had FeLK, leukemia, and it is very contagious. He euthanized Sweetie and i have her ashes. i miss her so much it hurts all day. I would very much like to put a memorial on The Cat Site for my little stray. I don't know how. Can someone direct me to the right place so i can share a picture of the sweetest little cat. She was so sweet, that was her name.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I know the hole in your heart takes a long time to heal and sometimes time is the only thing that helps. Bless you for feeding and caring about her for those 9 months, I'm sure it meant the world to her and she loved you for it. You spared her a horrible lingering death too, even though it broke your heart to do so. Know she would never want you to be so unhappy when you are thinking of her, but to celebrate the love you two shared. Give your remaining 4 a kiss from me, and remember we only have a limited time on this earth to love them. RIP beautiful Sweetie, you were greatly loved and will be remembered through this beautiful tribute that was written by the one who loved you!

Dear Di & Bob- Thank you for such kind words. Yes, it has been two weeks since i said goodbye to my little girl and I still cry about it every day. I miss her so much. i wish i could have given her much more comfort than i did. Every day if i do a little something to remember her or share her precious little life with others it helps me. Tomorrow i am going to spread flowers on the ground where she waited every day for me to feed her. The place looks so bleak now it hurts to look at it. I wanted to spoil her. It is very helpful for me to have you say she knew i love her and that i helped her even with my last decision which was so difficult. I'm going now to cuddle my cats, maybe carry one of them around for a minute, but they aren't too fond of that. They just let me for a minute because they know i need to kiss them.

aww..I am so sorry as well for your loss... I know the pain... and indeed it helps to keep sharing about our furbabies. I have a lil piece of Minnie's fur the vet gave me after shaving her leg and I can't help but touch and smell it sometimes... just helps me through :)

I'm very sorry for your loss of Sweetie. :rbheart: Her time with you was too short, but she knew what it was like to be loved.

If you want to create a lasting memorial for her, you can make a "cat page" for her: Cat Pages Guide & FAQ

Oh man, this is so sad.

You helped a kitty that really needed it, made sure she had a full belly. The "die was already cast" for her, something which was out of your control. What you did for her, however, was immeasurable and you helped make her life so much better. It's so sad that her life ended this way, but you coming into her life was a blessing. Never forget that and try not to grieve too badly, though I know that is easier said than done. I'm so sorry that you lost your beloved Sweetie.
