GA Goodbye Beautiful Baby

It's been a while since I've been on the forum, but last week I lost my beautiful little girl, Baby. My heart is broken, but I am forever grateful for the 16 years of unconditional love and joy she brought our family. Baby was my everything. She was such an overcomer...she persevered through 3 years with insulin resistant diabetes, acromegaly, and more recently, cancer - never once complaining or becoming mean, sitting so patiently through countless ear pricks and shots. What a trooper. I miss her terribly. RIP Baby 2004-2020
I will remember you and love you forever.

I want to thank everyone here who has helped me, especially in the early days when I was so lost about caring for her. Your support meant a lot. I want to let the newbies here know that although your furbabies have been diagnosed with these illnesses, they still have a lot of love to give and most likely, many years, to live. These conditions ARE treatable, and there is hope for our IAA cats...Baby was up to 20.5u Levemir at the worst, and by the time she passed she was down to 5u. (I will be posting my 8 Levemir pens for sale in the Levemir group). She eventually passed from complications of lung cancer that caused pleural effusion.

Good luck to you all and God Bless. xo

Great photos, a life well lived, and great care for your sweetie. You did a super job on her Acro management - such a horrible disease. May you have many great memories of her long life as the days and years pass.

Fly high sweet Baby, and land softly at the Bridge. You were loved.

 

Awww what a sweet little kitty cat. Sigh You gave her a good life and she returned that with her love. I'm so sorry she had to leave you but she will always be in your heart. I am so sorry for your loss. Fly free little one. You are well and whole once more. Let your mommy know you are ok. Visit her and let her know how much you love her.
My sincere condolences.

(((Mary Ann))) I am so sorry it was Baby's time to earn her angel wings. You fought hard to give her a good life during her time as a diabetic. Fly free pretty girl cat.

 

I'm so sorry for your loss Mary Ann ,just looking at her picture brought tears to my eyes, what a beautiful girl. Fly high sweet Baby
Gentle hugs for you Mary Ann

 

IKR?! Every time I look at that top picture I cry! Impossible not to! Ugh, I miss her so much. Thank you for the hugs.

 

I know Mary Ann she was such a beauty, when I look at pics of cats that I had to let go years ago, I still cry, I have them all in frames on my dresser.
We love them so much and never want to let them go, but then we also don't want them to suffer, why do they all have to get these awful diseases ,why can't they just pass away of old age.
I hope it gets better for you as time passes and you only remember the wonderful things. Take care ok ♥

 

Thank you, Diane. I know everyone here understands how difficult this is. Your kindness is appreciated so much. Lol, besides having a pillowcase made with her picture (because she always used to sleep on top of my head in bed), I also ordered a face mask, so I’m sure people will look at me as just another crazy cat lady haha! Take care. Warmly, Mary Ann

 

Aww that was so precious , please take care.

 

I am so sorry for your loss Mary Ann.
