God Rest Her Soul

That poor little gray and white girl, she's gone now. The injuries were from a dog attack. Her infection went clear into the bone and she had been infected for some time. She was extremely pale. The vet said she wasn't going to survive that infection, it was so deep and the injury so severe. God damn it. These people on that street, letting their vicious barely cared for dogs run wild who inflict such severe suffering as this little girl had to endure.

All I want to do is sob.

  1. Is it the little injured girl in the photos a few posts down? Doesn't matter, poor little thing. Aren't there dog catchers or leash laws or anything.
    Can't write anymore... just know I'm crying with you!

  3. That is just so sad :(
    Take comfort in the fact that she was able to go peacefully rather than suffer had you not caught her.
    It is not much but it is something.

  4. Been discouraged tonight. Also saw a calico, probably the same one, in the triangles at 99 and 34 again, standing out white against the night. I spent a week, at night, in exhaustion, trapping her in the first place. I screeched on my brakes to try to check to see if it was her, and not another calico, but she ran off. I trapped Agent 99 after being contacted by a stables owner, who saw her, with her daughter, and said they'd take her in, if I caught her. I caught her, but it was hard, and then, after her spay, she went to the stables, nine or ten miles from the triangles. And now she's back, apparently at least. Very discouraging day, it's been. A very sad day.

  5. I am so sorry that the poor cat had to go to the Rainbow Bridge after you tried so hard to help her. It is better that she went peacefully and not from the infection, which would have happened had you not netted her. You have my full sympathy.

  7. Jody, please know that it was a wonderful thing you did, rescuing her and helping her move on. So much better than dying in pain alone in the wild. In her next life, we can pray that she is a beloved indoor-only pampered kitty.
    You are an angel here on earth for helping these poor kitties.
    Much love and prayers,
    Morgen

  8. You do so much good for these cats. If you didn't, they would suffer much worse. We are sorry about Gracie and hope the calico you saw isn't the same one. Thank you for caring for these otherwise forgotten and ignored cats. Hugs and Purrs,
    Victor Tabbycat and family

  9. We are so very very sorry. It always breaks our hearts and makes the staff have leaky eyes to hear these sad stories like this one.
    We try to believe those horrible dog owners will learn one day - we are sure they will be punished one way or another.
    Gracie's little soul is free to come back to a better life and in this last one at least she had a loving person like you in the end, even if you couldn't save her.
    Our thoughts are with you

  11. She's buried now. Her suffering is over. And God looked down upon the world, and he saw a kitty suffering the frailities of humans. God saw her suffering was extreme and so He called upon one of his servants, the cat trapper, to bring her from this earth into his arms.

  12. All gods creatures, great and small, the good lord loves them all.

    We humans suffer from arrogance to think, if there be a god, that only we are important.
