Our friend, Storm the Furry Fighter is going to the Rainbow Bridge today...we will miss her terribly. She fawt the good fight and won and now is tired and needs to rest. Til we meet again sweet frend...On Wednesday mommy sent daddy to da vet's office to pick up Sadie's alergee shot medikashun. While he was there he saw a handsome kitty and his mommy was crying as she left. Dad, being nosy asked about the kitty and the vet tek said he was just diagnosed wif lymphoma and his beans don't know how they are going to afford treatment, they were thinking about surrendering him to our local shelter so he could get his chemo and stuff...well, daddy came home and Germaine and Marie (another naybor) were here so he started talking about this handsome cat and how sad it was and the next thing you know daddy is calling our vet and asking about costs and how long and stuff like dat...bottom line, daddy and three other naybors have offered to pay for this kitties treatment, in honor of our frend Storm who tawt us dat cancer doesn't haf to beat yoo, yoo can beat it! We are going to meet his beans (a mommy and two little gerls) on Sunday. When the vet called back to let us know he had called her and told her that some peepuls wanted to pay fur his treatment he said she started crying so hard he couldn't unnerstand what she was saying but apparently she wanted to call and thank effuryone personally so when she called Marie, our lovely elderly naybor, Marie said "why don't you come by fur brunch on Sunday" and den she called effuryone else and invited dem. We love, love, love our naybors!

What a wonderful gift of love! We don't know who we're crying more for - your Daddy's kindness, you lucky kitties, your neighbors or the kitty who's been given a chance to fight. So beautiful.
Farewell, Sweet Stormie. You've inspired so many!
What a wonderful way to honor Stormie! My mom's eyes can't stop leaking enough to really type right now. Please give your daddy, and your great neighbors tons of headbutts for us. This is one the kindest gestures we've ever heard. This is one the biggest reasons why we love our cat blogosphere friends!!!! Bless you all!
And what a touching tribute for one of the bravest cats we've ever known! Rest in peace Stormie.

Our eyes are leaking, again. This is so wonderful. God bless you all. Stormie, the angel, is already at work.
What a lovely tribute you made for Stormie. Now all of our eyes here are leaking again... That was so thoughtful and kind of your Daddy and your neighbors!
Willow and I are so sad that Storm had to go to the Bridge but we are glad she isn't in any pain anymore.

Oh my goodness! Mum and I have leaky eyes. Your Dad is the best and then to have such great neighbours to join in - I am overwhelmed! Your Mum and Dad are so thoughtful and caring and do so much for others, you are truly blessed. Stormie would be so proud.

Wif so many sad stories lately, it's good to hear a good one. WOW. Nofin like dat would happen in our nayborhood. That's just... wow! WOW.
I hope yesterday's storms weren't too bad fur you. We's ok, but all round Madison had prolems. Da boy was on a trip to The Dells, but got back ok (appropriately enuf, Noah's Ark). The 8th graders' buses got deetoored an didn't get home until 9 last nite! I'da bin worried bout him - no litter boxes on the buses.
Oh that is a lovely thing your Dad and the neighbours are doing for that handsome kitty. Please let us know how he gets on, if you can.
A lovely tribute and memorial for Stormie.

What a wonderful thing to do to honor Stormie and help the little kittie. My mom and I are new to this cat blogging thing (only a week) and neither one of us can stop the water leak from our eyes today.
Oh wow, that is a wonderful act your daddy did there. I know the neighbors are helping, but it was your daddy who first saw the kitty. Way to go Dad! You're our hero. Enjoy your brunch. What a wonderful wonderful meal that will be.
Your dad and da neighbours have given a marvelous gift. What a beautiful way to honour Storm!
purrs,
Mindy & Moe
oh my goodness...this is such a beautiful thing of you to do. i hope that the little kitty has as much, if not more, success that Stormie. please show this kitty's family Storm's blog as I think it is important she sees that there is hope...I know how my meowmie felt when Storm was initially diagnosed and she thought the worst things, that there was no hope at all...how wrong she was...
today is the first day for us without our little Stormie...meowmie knows Storm is OK now but her tears will not stop...there is a huge Storm-shaped hole for us to fill with loving memories right now...your story here is one of the first things that will go in to it
what a beautiful person you are xxx
Oh my goodness God Bless your heart because you have made mine soar so high I could touch the sky!!
Zippy, Sadie ans Speedy have the best home in the world and the most loving family and neighbors!
You have honored Stormie more so very tenderly with this gesture of hope...
I give you soft sandpaper kisses...
Love your Miss Peachy
Wow! We dont know what else ta say but "wow"...
That is a wonderful story of kindness! We hopes that kitty is well. We will be purring and praying for him and his family. What a blessing that was offered to them!
