    This past week, Gracie was at the vet with pancreatitis and dehydration.
    I brought her home last night to assist feed. I couldn't get the subQ fluids to work. I was able to get in about 9 mL of food in, and several syringes of water, but this morning, she couldn't lift her head. She passed on the way to the vet.

    Requiem aeternum, Gracie.

    I am so so sorry (( HUGS))

    I have been following your valiant efforts to try to help Gracie. You did so much and more for your beloved Gracie, but her body was just too weak and exhausted, and she chose to give up the fight.

    May your happy memories of Gracie give you strength and peace as you go through this sad time.

    RIP Gracie..fly high and land softly and let your Mom know you have arrived safely.

    Oh BJ, I am so sorry to hear this. I remember when you first saved her and brought her home to your other family of kitties. And how carefully you worked to keep her safe, comfortable and well. You did a very good thing and gave her months of love and health she wouldn't have had otherwise. Fly free, Gracie.

    BJM,
    I am so very sorry for your heartbreak. I, too, had been following Gracie's struggle and had prayed so hard for a happy ending. May the many good memories you have of Gracie bring you some comfort during this dark time. No one could have done more. My very deepest sympathy--I know how much saying goodbye hurts.

    You took Gracie in and gave her a home and a lovely life. She was so blessed to have you care for her as you did.

    Gracie, may you be in Catnip Heaven, romping through fields of mice and birds, playing and kitten like again. Always in our hearts and thoughts. May you be Mommy's angel now like she was for you.

    Oh BJM! I am so sorry to hear Gracie has gone to Rainbow Bridge. My heart goes out to you! You were a GREAT MOM to Gracie and if she could send you a message I'm sure it would be this......

    "To have loved and then said farewell is better than to have never loved at all.
    For all of the times that you stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you.
    For the care that you gave to me so unselfishly.
    For all of these things I am grateful and thankful. I ask that you grieve not for the loss but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each other's lives.
    My life was fuller because you were there, not as owner, but as my friend. Today, I am as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among the flowers and the sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures. I can run, jump and play and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints and no regrets and no aging. We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know that togetherness is forever. You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such as you are very rare and unique. Don't hold the love that you have within yourself.
    Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies,
    and you are loved and missed as surely as we are."

    Rest in Peace little Gracie!

    Here you have been, so generously and tirelessly helping others like myself, while dealing with your own cat issues. I am so sorry. I had no idea about Gracie. I do know, without question, Gracie had the best life a cat could ever wish for and no pet parent more devoted than you.

    I to am unfortunately unfamiliar with yours and Gracies story of how you were brought together, and of the journey you shared, as I am fairly new to this site, but you have been of tremendous help to both myself and my little Molly, and you have played a great part in her recent remission otj, and you give so much of your time and knowledge to help others, that Gracie must have had a great life shared with you, and my heart goes out to you at this incredibly sad time, and I hope we can give you some support and comfort back to you.

    I'm so sorry to learn of Gracie's passing. But what a blessing to be able to leave behind this Earthly realm after a life of happiness, love, dedication, and care. She was such a lucky girl, and she will live on in your heart and memories, and in the knowledge you gained through her care that you'll be able to pass on to others. What a wonderful legacy to leave behind.
