Hello all, I come again, with the passing of another wonderful, sweet cat. She was a feral and so we could not keep her inside, but she was loved and she was ours as much as any feral can be.
Dogs killed her today. At least she got some claws in one of the dogs face. We got her to the vet, she wasn't too torn up but the person on shift thought she had a punctured lung. These were big dogs roaming around in our townhome complex. She passed in my arms on the way to the vet. I am so destroyed.
I always link my previous threads...mostly for myself...

Goodbye sweet Eva...
Oh my poor, sweet Anna, you were loved. - keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I wish I could have kept her safely inside, but she would escape when we'd bring her in...run out the door if we opened it too long. She loved her freedom, but I guess there is no freedom for cats without risk. We just couldn't keep her inside, despite our best efforts she was a free soul, but I feel like I failed her, failed in being able to protect her properly. Ugh and now I want to bring Callie in as well...and the "brothers" but they aren't so tame as Callie is and Anna was....Feral cats, such a difficult dilemma. I can't believe dogs caught her, I am just...shocked. I am in shock, we lost Anna...
So let me tell you all about Anna.
She was a abandoned or stray cat we found when we moved into our current home. She was pregnant and had a litter of kittens shortly after. We still have two of them (inside) that we couldn't find homes for. We got her spayed and we took care of her, bringing her in when the weather was bad. She was sweet and affectionate and always kept close for food and water. We had her about 6 1/2 years and she was a couple of years older from what we were told, so around 8 or 9. God, I am going to miss her little mews when she slips under the gate for food. She loved being petted and scritched while she ate and I put a little tote shelter for her away from the other cats she could sleep in beside our wall, under the overhang.
i am pretty sure she had somewhere else to be in bad weather too and someone else feeding her, I feel so sorry for them, never knowing where she vanished to...You never know what happens to those who vanish, and some of mine have too, I think about them and pray they are somewhere safe and loved, here or there.
We are getting her cremated and she will join my shelf along side my other cats that I've had cremated (Sox, Eva, Morpheus, Mal and Ashe).
Goodbye Anna, I am so sorry I couldn't do more....I will love and miss you always. I hope you are with others that we have loved and loss.
And thank you all for reading and your thoughts and prayers.
