Yesterday the PAWS Family said goodbye to Giggles or as we knew and loved her as the infamous Gigi
Gigi was surrendered to us four years ago at the age of six Due to “litterbox” issues. When we got her we found she was not fixed. One of our fosters, Wendy said she could foster until we could get her vetted.
Little did anyone know how much of an impact she would have on all of us especially Wendy and Jay. We were able to get her vetted and spayed. We also found her had chronic URI issues, sneezing, coughing etc
But that did not matter to Wendy and Jay, they fell in love with her. Gigi became a diva, she had her own wardrobe and no matter where she went she had an outfit on. She welcomed Wrinkles and Grace(the same breed) and showed them that is ok to be loved. But time has a way of catching up to everyone. She began to slow down and developed some medical issues. One call to our vets at QVVH and she was on her way down. However what was wrong with her was baffling. It was determined that she had some sort of auto immune disease, but no matter what they tried it did not work.
What we did know she was getting tired. On Monday she woke up and basically said her body was tired and she had enough.
We made one last call to Dr Dave at QVVH, one last ride and she peacefully went to sleep with Wendy and Jay at her side.
We are all mourning her passing. She had so much love and life. She went from a broken girl to someone who loved life, sitting in the sun and laying with all her friends.
Many cats we have are our “forever family” Genetics, overbreeding, chronic illness are some of the reasons we choose to call them family. Maybe we are selfish by doing this, but we know that no matter what happens they will always be happy and cared for
But tonight we say “see you later” to Gigi. Rest in peace sweet girl, you
Took a peace of Wendy and Jays heart with you. You will be missed💔💔
