Piper was not with us for long but for the time we had she made a huge impact on our lives.
Pipers fosters had this to say:
"Piper came into our lives when we were grieving the loss of our 18 yr old cat Luna. She was like a child to us. We weren't ready to adopt but needed a cat and Piper needed a home. From the beginning, she was brave, trusting, sweet and loving. We fell in love with her right away. She loved to knead in our laps and would go back and forth between me and my husband. She would knead like nobody's business and loved to take long naps on our laps. She loved to sleep by the fireplace and enjoyed her heated beds and sunny windows. She was very curious and jumped on the counter at 18 yrs old. She looked and acted much younger than her age. She brought such love and joy to our lives. After 2 short months she went into heart failure and needed to be euthanized. We were devastated and thought we'd have more time with her. We'll always cherish the time we had with her. We will always be connected by the love in our hearts. Until we meet again, sweet Piper. When a rescue cat that has been through trauma trusts and loves their foster human, it is the deepest connection of love and trust."
Our senior boy Benny never found his forever family, but we loved every moment that we shared with him. His foster mom fell in love with him, and as far as he was concerned he found his family.
Sweet Charlie suffered so much on the streets of niagara falls. We loved this senior girl and had hoped that we could make a difference. We did make a difference she knew love, warmth, and a comfy bed and a stress free life.
Lydia never found her forever family. She suffered when she was abandoned by her previous owners. When she came to us she had horrible skin issues, and severe dental disease. In the end she did find her home with her foster family who loved her unconditionally as did we.
Buster was a very special boy. He was with us for a few years and never had any interest. He was a shy boy but he found love with his foster mom. He always had a warm bed and anything that he wanted. Even though his forever family never came around he did find a family with us. He will never be forgotten. He is one of the reasons we fight so hard to save the underdogs hard to place kitties. They don't have a voice, we are here to give them one. Rest easy precious boy we will always love you.
Mama Z lived most of her life in one home with one owner. When her owner passed the family didn't know what to do with her because she was never social with any of them. She spent 2 days in a trap and was going to be released outside until we agreed to take her into our program.
When she came to us she was aggressive to the point her first foster couldn't get near her acclimation crate. We made an appointment to have her vetted. It was determined at that point she was upwards of 14 years old and was not spayed.
After vetting she went to live with another foster and during that time we learned that she was in kidney failure and liver failure.
She was loved deeply by her foster family and we determined that she would be a hospice kitty and live her days out where she was happy. In the end Mama Z loved pets and attention from her family and her family loved her unconditionally.
We are not sure of the full life that Sage had. We do know before he came to us he was abandoned by his people and was released in winter with a half shaved body after a surgery. When he came to us he suffered from seizures and was in kidney failure and was not very trusting of people. He was estimated to be approximately 18 years old when he came to us. He spent the last 3 years of his life in a loving foster home and played papa to many young kittens in that time. He will be greatly missed by his foster family, who gave him the happiest years of his life.
