Bless her heart, she had work to do! She’ll, no doubt, join up with y’all, later. ;-)
I think she may have gone on to the Rainbow Bridge, where her life-long companion went 4-1/2 years before she passed.
We’re more likely to join up with them and the others.
We took in a few hopelessly ill strays*, and they were all very grateful for the love, care, and our attempts to save them, but we did not always succeed. I expect that we will see them all again.
RIP Muffin (renal), Tiger (age), *Baby (cancer), Slinker (lymphoma), *Katy (FELV), *Little Bit (FELV), and my Rocket (renal).
