Little Popsicle's life was cut way too short. He came to us after being found freezing outside in the cold. He was very sick and was never able to recover. He was sweet and extremely adorable; he will be missed a lot by our volunteers.

Nov. 18, 2009 - Beautiful Ava left us far too young.  Ava developed a fatal auto-immune illness very suddenly and it was with much tears we had to say goodbye this morning.  Ava will always be remembered and loved by her foster mom and the Happy Cat volunteers.  Ava was a very sweet and loving girl. She was quite shy but really came out of her shell at her foster home where she was given the one on one care she so very much needed, she became very cuddly and had quite the motor on her when she purred. Rest in Peace Ava, you're in a better place now and we will never forget you. 

Miriam had a long and courageous battle with kidney disease, she stayed strong throughout the last few months and never stopped purring.  She sadly passed away on March 23, 2009.  She will be missed and always remembered. 

Scruffy came to us in 2008 as a senior cat who's owners were going to euthanize her because they got a new kitten that she apparently didn't get along with. At her first examination we found out that she had "early stage" kidney disease from bloodwork we had done.  In our care, she was a wonderful cat and tolerant of other animals - she was very loving and always ready for some treats and attention from the volunteers.  Scruffy sadly passed away on Dec 14, 2009 due to end stage kidney failure.  She lived over one year with special food and treatment for her kidney condition and did very very well.  We will miss her greatly and feel an emptiness when we don't see her on her favorite scratching post waiting for us to come and visit her.  Rest in peace Scruffy. 

Sweet Jean-Luc was adopted January 13, 2009 and sadly passed away January 27, 2009.  In his short life he touched so many people and we're heart broken over his passing.  Jean-Luc died of an auto immune disease which was very unexpected and no testing is available for this.  It affects very few cats, mostly young cats under a year old.  There is no cure or treatment.  Jean Luc will be missed. Thank you Cam for giving him a loving home for such a short period of time, I know he was happy with you.  Thank you.

Moudsy sadly passed away July 2009 due to a large tumour found on his pancreas.  He had been losing weight and tests determined his prognosis shortly after he was examined.  He will be greatly missed by his brother "Sheldon" who still lives at the sanctuary and all of the volunteers who loved him very much.  We'll miss him dearly.
