Godspeed Angel Storm

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.

That is the most awesome way to pay tribute to a most awesome cat. Give your dad a head butt without getting fur up his nose for helping another kitty lay the smackdown on lymphoma.

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.

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.

Tyler said...

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.

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

MISS PEACH ~(^.^)~ said...

Oh my goodness God Bless your heart because you have made mine soar so high I could touch the sky!!

I give you soft sandpaper kisses...
Love your Miss Peachy
