Good Bye Poppy

[Bernard67Arnold]

Almost eleven years ago My daughter Stephanie was deputy manager at the RSPCA wildlife centre in
Cheshire, a local farmer rang up and asked her go pick up a feral kitten that he had found in his barn.She
was the sole survivor of a litter, and so tiny, about three inches long, like a little rat with its eyes still closed.Steffi took an incubator, put it on the back seat of her car, fed the little puss with a droper.
After saving her life there was only one place she was going to finish up, with Steffs other cats at home.Just like the ugly ducking she turned into a real beauty, and was soon the TC.
They recently found out she had, a tumour in her tummy and last night the vet put her to sleep.
Everyone will miss a really loving and affectionate cat. The problem is when you treat a pet as part of the
family its so hard when you lose them Bernard

Sorry to hear that Poppy had to be put to sleep. It is so hard to lose a pet. Thanks to your daughters care, it sounds as if Poppy had a long and lovely life - what a lucky cat to have found such a good home. R.I.P Poppy.

Bernard, please pass my sympathies onto your daughter and thank her for loving Poppy and giving her a fantastic life.
I understand only too well the pain she is going through.

We are only loaned our beloved pets before they leave us for the "Rainbow Bridge" where hopefully we will meet them again.

As someone who has recently lost a much loved pet I can understand how you and your daughter are feeling. Poppy was a very lucky cat having someone like Steff to save her life and then to provide her with a loving home. But, in the same way, Poppy also gave so much back to the family.

With the pain of losing her will also come some lovely memories that nobody can ever take away.

What a beautiful cat. RIP Poppy.

I am so sorry Bernard but what a fantastic life she has had. When I lose a pet I cannot bear to look at their photo 's at first then when I am ready I go through them on my own remembering the happy moments and the love they have given me back. RIP Poppy. Jean.
