A Special Announcement. In Honor of Dahlia.

Fri, 2012-04-20 17:19 — Robin Olson

Last week, our friend JaneA Kelley, lost her dear cat, Dahlia to atypical large-cell lymphoma. It all seemed to happen so quickly, just moments after JaneA moved into her new apartment, her concerns that something was wrong with her beloved cat, that had nothing to do with the stress of moving, came true. JaneA's blog, Paws & Effect, followed Dahlia's life and sudden passing in moving detail. You can read about Dahlia's passing HERE.

Dahlia, along with her kitty-family, Thomas T. Bombadil & Siouxsie Mew are well known to fans of cat blogs around the world, so we all felt great sadness when JaneA posted the news that Dahlia was gone. We lost one of our own.

As a friend, I just wanted to make it better. I hate to hear about cats passing away. I never want any cat to die-that's why I do cat rescue. I wanted to do more than simply say I was sorry or send a card. So, if you'll watch the video posted here, you'll see what I've done in honor of Dahlia's life and these photos will make more sense.

To JaneA and her furry family, my condolences on your loss. Because of all your stories about her, Dahlia will live on forever.

Thank you so much!

Oh, Robin, I can't tell you how much it means to me that you've named one of your new babies after my sweet Dahlia. Even old Miss Cranky-pants, Siouxsie, hopped up on the desk and checked her out. Nobody will ever replace my babygirl, but to know you've honored her life iin this way ... all I can say is THANK YOU!

And, of course, we'll spread the word about these wonderful little ones in hopes that they -- and all the cats in your care -- will find wonderful, loving forever homes with people who give them the most fantastic lives they could possibly hope for. <3
