Meet you at the Bridge, Sammy.


Rest in peace, Sammy. Thank you to Cornerstone Veterinary Hospital for getting us in at a moment's notice, and to his previous owner's son, who took great pains to find his mother's street cat a place when she could no longer care for him. Sammy was sixteen years old when kidney issues finally became too much for him today. He came here scared, and turned into a regular mush. He was a real joy. I wish we could have placed him in a home for his final months, but he certainly seemed to blossom here anyway. Thanks as well to Gretchen, for giving him extra attention lately. He surely loved attention.

Sad news :( Glad his last months were happy ones.

I will send him energy to sustain him while he waits for you.

This was a happy ending for a kitty who could have been abandoned or euthanized. Cheers to you, Gretchen and the former owner's son for giving him a place to age gracefully and with love.
