On April 23, the calico mom arrived here and from the moment she came, she proved daily that she was a major danger not only to herself and her kittens but to the people around her that cared enough to try and reach her.

This morning when she made a full frontal assault to my chest head and neck, I knew that there are some cats who are just altered and beyond help. I knew what I needed to do, because even if she could be socialized to a certain point, she would always remain a liability once she was adopted out. I would have to ask to have her Bridge Pass stamped and send her on her way.

There were no funds readily available to do this- but I did it anyway. No cat should have to live with such terror in their heart. She did not go gently, I wish that she had, but she was ushered out of this life with as much dignity as my vet could provide for her.

It broke my heart- she was a beautiful calico and she had Persian in her as well, but some cats are so broken and it can take forever to fix them- so for that reason- I gave her final peace.

Goodbye beautiful girl- you will now rejoin  your family and live with no fear for eternity.
