Our beloved Gizmo (RIP). Today has...

Our beloved Gizmo (RIP). Today has been a sad day at St Francis Hospice for Cats. We have had to say goodbye to our beautiful little Gizmo. She has been poorly over the past few weeks and last night took a turn for the worst. We booked her in to the vets today and our worst fears were confirmed. Following a consultation with our vet it appears she may have had a tumour so the decision was made to let her go.

 

This decision is never made lightly but we had done all that we could for her. Gizmo had come in to St Francis two years ago. She was a 15 year old incontinent lady who had lost some feeling in her back legs, probably due to an accident of some sort. Over the past two years that she has been with us she has found a special place in all of the volunteers hearts making this loss a very sad one.

 

The one thing we have to remember at these sad times is the fact that we have helped to give her a good last few years, enjoying fuss off us human helpers and also a lot of feline company. One of her favourite spots to lie was right by the heater in the main room. As you went in and sat on the sofa she would often walk over to you in her own unique style and come to sit by you for some fuss. The picture above shows Gizmo by her heater only yesterday enjoying some fuss off me.

 

Gizmo, you will be sadly missed by all.
