I learned on Christmas Eve that Lizzie, a beautiful semi-feral calico girl, from the same colony as my Gracie, was severely injured after being attacked by a raccoon a couple of weeks ago. Lizzie was close to 10 years old and had a good life being cared for by a friend of mine, who also fed and provided shelter for several other spayed females. Lizzie was fearful of most humans, but had come to trust my friend and would approach her for attention. Fortunately, Lizzie was taken to the vet immediately after the attack, where she was able to pass peacefully with my friend at her side. RIP beautiful girl. You were loved.
