I must sadly report that, while on vacation down the beach in August, my beloved Booby (sounds like woobie) became quite ill and needed to be put to rest at the age of 16. I adopted her 3.5 years ago from Marlee's, in December (she was my "Christmas kitty") at the age of about 13. Shortly after her adoption, I had to put my first kitty, Emily, to sleep due to kidney failure. After a few months in my home, Booby took on a lot of Em's characteristics, which was a huge comfort to me. Her shelter name was Esmerelda. I was working at the shelter at the time and was totally bowled over by her patience, gentle demeanor and beauty. I knew that older kitties may be harder to place and I just couldn't resist her. She was sweet and very loving and very much enjoyed her final years here at my home with me and my other two kitties. She and my other older "girl", Kizzy, really bonded and became best of friends; they looked after one another both in and out of the house.
Booby was attentive and loving and actually slept in bed, under the covers, in my arms every night. I miss her desperately but am comforted by the fact that I know she loved her "Mum", "adopted siblings" and home. She was also nicknamed "The Mighty Huntress" and loved nothing better than to sit in her yard and watch for critters to chase. She used to go on walks with me to visit my neighbor out back of me and he has told me that she often went over on her own to watch him work on his tractor. She loved to just "hang out" and never ventured far from home, nor did she ever go near the road (of course, I watched her VERY closely when she was first let outside to make sure that she was not a wanderer!). She also loved to vacation with me and the other kitties down at Wells Beach. Again, she was able to go out there as well, as she was such a good little homebody, never venturing much further than the porch. She loved to play and loved the occasional catnip "nightcap" that I would put in a bag for her to attack. She was a quiet kitty....I think it was about 1 year before I ever heard her speak! She was a totally non-demanding cat, only becoming insistent when I had the bedcovers too tight for her to get under at night.
My little Boober (another of the probably 6 nicknames she had!) was always a little compromised in the health department. I found out eventually that she had irritable bowel syndrome and she had to be watched closely to make sure she didn't dehydrate. The vets and I tried very hard to solve her problem with special food and medications but nothing worked for long, unfortunately. Sometimes we had to go to the vet and get some fluids into her when she got "dry" and everyone there loved her too. Most likely, at the end, she had kidney disease, but was kept as healthy as possible for a long time. She's in kitty heaven now, waiting for me and I just know she is fat and healthy again and saving some kitty kisses for me. Miss you, Boo....Iove my beautiful old lady WHOLE BUNCHES!
I adopted Fosters in around February of 1992 and at the time he was 1 year old. Through all of the sad times and lonely ones he was always there for me to comfort me at my time of need by always using his special personality to try to cheer me up. I sadly had to have Foster's put to sleep today September 12, 2001 at 12:00pm because I was unable to afford the operation he needed to help him. I feel that I have failed him because I was unable to afford his operation and I feel riddled with guilt about it. I stayed with Foster's throughout the entire ordeal and I never have felt such a great loss as the loss that I have felt today. I even stayed with him after he was put to sleep to cry and tell him that I will miss him. Foster's was a front double pawed orange tabby and my best friend. I will never forget him as I will miss him always. Goodbye my friend and to the one that was always there to comfort me during the tough times. I will miss you always and forever. I love you always Foster's and I hope that you are happy where you are now and I hope to see you again on the other side when I pass away someday. Love, Your best friend Gary
In loving memory of Troika (1987-2001) You were a better friend than I ever could have asked for. Thanks for always giving me your love and companionship. You always made me try to be a better person to be deserving your love. From the first moment I saw you at Marlee Animal Rescue, right up to your last breath, I tried to do the best I could for you no matter how hard it was on me. You will always have my love and never be forgotten. Run and explore heavens endless forests, for you can not tire now. When we next meet you can show me the trails.

We said goodbye to our dear Lucy yesterday. She was a devoted friend and constant support for the past 13 years. She was a tolerant foster-dog to so many children that passed through our foster home, always protective and loving. Her eyes alert and with eyeliner. Her ears as soft as God's skin. Her loss has left a huge hole in our lives. There are no electric fences in heaven. Godspeed Lucy, Peterson Family

In fond memory of my beautiful Cocker Spaniel Arliss whom I still miss. Louise Perreault of Berwick, ME.
In sad memory of Tazz...his tragic loss was felt by all. He may not have lived long, but in the short time I had him, he brought me a lot of joy. He was one of the sweetest cats I've ever known. I've never seen such a beautiful personality! That's why it is so sad that he died in the way he did and so young. I wish this story didn't have such a tragic ending. I am saddened by the whole thing. I really got attached to the little guy. Tiffany Nelson
Tiffany adopted Tazz in December, shortly before Christmas. Tazz was found one morning in the middle of the Christmas packages under the tree. During the night he had awakened while everyone was asleep and begun playing with the packages. He got tangled up in the ribbons and was strangled. We print this so everyone with young kittens and puppies will be aware that this can happen.

My best friend and my handsome boy passed away on March 13 . He is missed so much. He was a beautiful
golden retreiver.
This goes out to my sweet kitten that was put to sleep last week. I had her a month, almost to the day. She was a black, orange, gray and white tiger, with beautiful gray/green eyes. She was the first kitten I had ever owned, which made her even more special to me. Her name was Elspeth, I had named her for the heroine of my favorite book. She was very very sweet. A few weeks after I got her, she started having seizures. The vet said that she'd more than likely grow out or them. One night however, she started to have a seizure and she wouldn't come out of it. We went to the vets and he said that there really wasn't anything she could do. I had to put her to sleep. Nobody knows exactly what Elspeth had, all I know is that I lost my best friend that night.
