Magill

My beautiful, sweet Magill found me when I was camping in July of 1996.  She just walked up to me, meowed hungrily, and I was smitten with that kitten.  She was obviously a stray or not well taken care of, so I fed her and gave her a warm, safe place to sleep that night.  The next morning I carried her all over the campground to see if she belonged to anyone, and was thrilled that nobody claimed her.  Over the next 20 1/2 years, she stuck by me through several moves, much heartache, joyful times, and kept me company when I was alone for so many years.  She was the best friend anyone could hope for, and I always told her she was the best cat that ever lived in the universe.  She always tried to be so good, and was very loving and sweet.  Her fur was so soft all of her life.  I just loved holding her and petting her.  We had a special bond.  As she got older I did everything I could to keep her going comfortably as long as possible.  From brushing her teeth to giving her thyroid and heart medicine to syringe feeing and even IV fluids those last couple of months, I know I did everything I could to help her.  She let me do all those things because she knew it was to help her.  I will be forever grateful that she chose me out of all those people at the campground that day to be her mother.  It was an honor and a privilege to be her mommy, and I will always have a hole in my heart and miss her so much.  We had to say goodbye to her on Saturday, January 16, 2016.  Thank you so much, Home to Heaven, for coming to our house and letting Magill be as comfortable as possible and for being so compassionate with us.
