Title: RIP Jeannie
Post by: Desley (booktigger) on March 01, 2009, 10:43:56 AM

Just wrote this for the rescue, and thought i would use it as his tribute.

It is hard enough to comprehend people dumping cats on the street, but so much harder to understand when you come across an old and disabled cat. Poor Jeannie was found walking on a road, despite being blind and deaf, with a bad ear infection - it is a wonder he survived, and can't have been out too long with his disability. No one thought he had long left (we initially thought jeannie was a girl, hence the name!!), and a foster home was found, but he proved us all wrong, and had 15 weeks in a home environment, despite vets not being very positive when he first came in, as he wasn't in great condition. Sadly he also had arthritic legs that didn't respond to treatment, and this was ultimately what meant we had to let him go, but he got to end his life in a home, with people who loved him, when it was his time, the fact he was unhomeable was never an issue, it wasn't an easy 15 weeks, but the important thing was giving him as long as possible, which we did. My fondest memory is walking into the kitchen and seeing him curled up fast asleep in front of the washig machine while it was on - not a sight you normally see!! RIP little one

Desley, sorry I've only just noticed this. I just wanted to say that you did an amazing job caring for a cat that a lot of people would've given up on. You gave him love, affection and ensured that the last part of his life was lived as the whole of it should've been.

RIP Jeannie, and know you were loved.

It is a year today since Jeannie went to the bridge, one of the few I haven't been with at the end, so it made it quite weird and harder to accept. He was with people who cared though. RIP Jeannie, restored again.
