First off, I know that she isn't a cat. But back in the day (and the old-timers will attest to this) she was one of the integral parts of this forum machine who saved many a kitten with her sage advice. She was also my Internet partner for years and we came together to create an article for this website and out of that, Anne suggested we build a website for people confused about kitten care. Tania was the best! She was caring, and gentle with the wee ones, patient with those asking advice about them and kitten-rescue has gone on to save many kittens worldwide.
I lost track of her in 2008. She lived in Australia and I live in Oregon and we would meet nightly on Messenger and chat and share rescue stories. I knew after some time being with her that she survived some horrendous abuse. I understood after she took me into her confidence why she gravitated toward the abused, the abandoned and the lost. She was the best.
Some people are lucky. They grow up without demons- Tania had many. In the end, she took her own life. I recently learned of this. She died in 2010. She was only 36 years old!
Perhaps by putting this here, in a forum of cat lovers, she will somehow understand that her life did matter. She saved so many kittens through our website and through this forum. Her gentleness was real, her caring astounding. I shall miss her tremendously.
