chloe was euthanized today.

Carol  ·  Oct 7, 2016

she came to us in Aug 2012 from a rescue in Alberta, she was a 14 yr old feral living with a hoarder. she died today at age 18. yesterday via xray, we discovered 2 large tumors inside her.
had chloe not been feral, we could have maintained her longer with pain meds because she was still eating and drinking. but chloe never did learn to like too close human contact. she preferred to have a bit of space.

anne was with us when chloe passed away, she said she wished she could have heard chloe purr one day. i don't know, i think she was content here..except maybe when i took her catnip away (she was allergic to it and it was making her ill, plus she was binging on it way too much anyway.)
i think chloe appreciated the fact that we respected her wishes and did not force our need to receive reciprocal affection from her...all of us cared deeply for her and that she didn't care for us much in return, well really that was ok.

we will miss you chloe, 4 years of caring about you was a pretty long time. you were a very good cat.
rest in peace our little sketchy girl.
we will not forget you.
chloe

I never could find any picture of Chloe other than the one at the top hence it was used over and over again for her sponsorship card. I am sure she loved everyone for giving her the space she needed. R.I.P. Chloe

Damn. She was a regular with me for brushig and copiouse amounts or treats. She was about the only one who got a never ending suply of treats when I was there (she would get as many as she could comfortably eat when I was around her 😳. You will be missed sketchy girl

I know what Anne means about purring. I'd like to hear Kiwi purr in order to know she is finally feeling comfortable and at home.

I think she enjoyed the last little hit of catnip before she left the house. And she was fed all the good stuff today.

I haven't been helping in the house all spring and summer,
but I figured it was a good day, when she wouldn't run away and
we looked at one another thru the window. RIP Chloe
