Goodbye to Nancy




Today I had to say goodbye to lovely Nancy . She had been suffering from kidney failure for some time and in the last few days her appetite had gone and she wasn't happy anymore .

We got Nancy from a local rescue three and a half years ago .
She was old when we got her and had been in two different rescues unable to get a home .
We will never now how she ended up in rescue at her age .
The man in the rescue advised us she was not a good choice as she was so grumpy .
However there was something about her and for me no other cat would do
My husband was less impressed and it must have taken him a full week to be completely besotted like me .
She came into a house with four dogs and another cat and stayed up high for a couple of weeks assessing the situation .

After that she settled into a quiet routine and was never any bother to anyone . She never left our garden and snoozed happily in the sun on nice days . The rest of the time she was happy in the conservatory .

I will miss my lovely Nancy and I wish she could have been with us for longer

Re: Goodbye to Nancy

It is always painful saying goodbye to a pet for the last time
They expect little but give so much ...

Re: Goodbye to Nancy

It is never easy saying goodbye to a loved one. At least her last few years were good ones with you Abbey. She sure was a beauty.

Re: Goodbye to Nancy

So sorry to read you have lost Nancy.

I am so pleased she found a loving family and lived her last few years with a family who loved her.

Hugs Marj

What a beautiful cat! It is hard to part with a beloved pet, Abbey, but you must have made her last years very happy.

Re: Goodbye to Nancy

So sorry to hear of the sad loss of your Nancy. Much love is coming your way from myself and the many other pet lovers on this site. Most of us know the awful feeling of losing a friend.

Re: Goodbye to Nancy

Thank you for all your replies . This is a tough day for us and our other cat Vinnie is looking for her constantly and seems very distressed .
