Roo suddenly started running frantically back and forth, and every which way shaking her head and trying to scratch at her tumor, she was insistant on getting into my mom's bedroom (where she never goes) I finally got her calmed down and resting in the box she's been using these last few week.

I examined her head and her lump is growing, there is a new smaller one next to the existing one


I called my sister's cell phone because she had to go pay off the previous vet bill to expain what's happening with Roo. Luckily she's still close to the vets office because their phones aren't working.
The vet wants to see her at 6:00....I am scared for her but I don't want her to suffer through the whole weekend.

Thanks Susan, Abby'smom, Dan, Kelly,consumercity and Lei


Roo is now at the Rainbow Bridge


Her tumor had grown so much it was was wrapping around her skull and nose area. She was peacefully PTS. The vet said it was good that we got her there when we did because by Sunday or Monday she would have bled out


Thanks so much for all of the vibes and prayers, they have really meant so much through this difficult time.

Oh Gosh Diane,

I was hoping for a positive outcome here. Thank you for your love and care that you extended to Roo and for recognizing her life is special whether she is here in your life, or gone and in your heart-

Hugs during this difficult time-

Oh Diane, I am so sorry. It would have caused her pain.
I am glad she went peacefully.
Mega hugs to you


Play and romp at The Bridge, Roo

I am so so so so sorry.
I wish I could say more to you at this time, I wish I could find the words to make everything seem a little better - but I cant, I can only sit here and weep with you


she will forever be in your heart and she was such a brave little one


RIP Roo - you are going to be deeply missed

I am very sorry to hear of Roo's passing. She can be at peace now with no pain at the RB.

RIP Roo

OH, I'm so sorry for you and poor Roo. Thank goodness you were there for her at the end, and she knew love and peace and is free from pain. She'll be waiting for you at the RB, with all our other beautiful kitties.

Loving my beautiful baby girl
No, no, no! Roo, precious little baby, Roo!
You had my heart when first I saw you, and oh how you and your Mommy have been in my prayers during this difficult time. You're such a strong, brave girl, and tonight, you are in Heaven, so happy and healthy, little angel!


Diane, you are so incredibly strong. You've shown Roo the ultimate love by unselfishly putting your feelings aside so that she may return to perfect health. My heart aches for you tonight as tears stream down my cheeks. You are most definitely in my prayers, Diane. May God give you peace and comfort in your shattered heart. You know just where I am when you feel like talking.
