With much sadness I must tell you that Grey left for Rainbow Bridge this evening. He took a turn for the worse shortly after his visit with Sharon and, I believe, was ready to go. His crossing was very quiet, warm and peaceful thanks to Doc Andrew and tech Jenn.
Thank you everyone, for your thoughts and prayers, positive energy and encouraging messages. They have meant so very much to both first foster mom, Sharon, and me. The love you sent helped to make this difficult time a little easier.
I'd like to leave you with a video from Sharon. This is the way I will always remember our sweet, gentle giant.
From lusting after Bitty to interrupting work with head to headbutts, Grey was filled with character, life and fun. Via con Dios, my man. You loved and you are loved. Always.

So sad. From such a sad story, he managed to rise above it and have a wonderful (albeit short) life in your care. I always hoped Grey would find a forever home. I guess he did - with you.
ReplyDelete~hugs~
I cannot even begin to tell you how sorry I am to hear about sweet Grey and all of our whiskers are so weepy wet. He knew you loved him and you made the best difference in his life. We will always remember you sweet Grey.
ReplyDeleteGrey found his forever home with you where he was safe and loved. Forever just wasn't nearly long enough. Gentle giants stay with us long after they've gone to the bridge. I am so very sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about Grey. He was such a gorgeous kitty. I'm glad he was able to have a wonderful home with you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for the loss of sweet Grey. Soft purrs to you during this sad time.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure he's romping in heavenly fields of catnip, getting ready to look over your next fosters. I'm so sorry though. He seemed like such an awesome cat.
ReplyDeleteWe're so very sad that Grey went to the Bridge. We were so hoping that he'd recover.
ReplyDeleteSending soft purrs of comfort at this sad time,

I am so sorry for your loss. Grey seemed like he was a real sweetheart. For what it's worth, try to take comfort in that he couldn't find a better place to spend his final months.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Gray. We are sending lots of purrs and many hugs for the hoooomans. Too bad he couldn't have stayed with you a little longer. Very sad.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very very sorry, Lisa. Grey was a handsome, lovely boy who was very blessed to have found you. Your post about how he had learned to enjoy and give loving brought tears to my eyes at the time, and it has again now. You gave him the very best life.
ReplyDeleteSending lots of hugs and purrs,
Lissa, Fui, Suey and Lishy.
I read on the CB that this beautiful boy went to the bridge...I'm so sorry for your loss!!!
ReplyDeleteAt least Grey knew love and warmth and a good life for the time that he was with you. I love the video you posted he was indeed happy :-)
We read about Grey on the CB. He looks like he was a wonderful mancat. We are very sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteOh, Grey. Rest in Peace, darling boy. I've asked Ziggy to show you around that side of the Bridge and keep you company.
ReplyDeleteLove and purrs to Lisa and Sharon as they deal with this loss.
Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear about sweet Grey...he was so loved and had such a happy home during his short stay with you, and I know that he's over by the rainbow bridge, free of pain and suffering, and happily playing around in the sunshine with all of our other furry babies...I know that my Poppy ran over to greet him and show him the best napping spots.
ReplyDeleteSending you lots and lots of hugs...you and Sharon were his guardian angels and I know how difficult this must be for you.
Oh NO! We are so sad to hear the Grey has run off to The Bridge. Sending gentle hugs and purrs to you at this most difficult time.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry *hugs* My Caleb is showing him the ropes on the other side.
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry Gray went to the rainbow bridge.
ReplyDeletePlease know you are in our thoughts and prayers during this very sad time. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteSending you a hug, Lisa. He was loved, HE KNEW HE WAS LOVED, we all know how much he was loved.
ReplyDeleteYou are a special person. I'm glad he made his way to you.
Grey was such a sweet boy. We're so sorry to hear of his passing, but we are glad it was peaceful.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you and Sharon, Lisa.
I'm so so sorry for your loss! Poor Grey! And to think he was just about to have his forever home with you.
ReplyDeleteAt the very least you know that in the last while he was loved and cared for. I'm sure he's happy on the Rainbow Bridge except for missing you -- as much as you miss him.
You did your best for him and I hope you can find some comfort in that.
I'm so sorry for the loss of Grey. He's such a beautiful cat, and look very much like my own pretty girl. As my husband put it when one of our own cats passed, Grey was lucky to have the opportunity to be so loved, as many cats never have that chance.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs to both you and Sharon.
We're so sorry to hear that Grey went to the Bridge. Purrs and hugs,

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear this. Grey could not have asked for better folks to take care of him in his final days than you.
ReplyDeleteAll our heads are bowed, and we have said our special human and kitty prayers for you both.
Godspeed on your journey Mr. Grey.
My first thought was OH NO. OH NOOO. My heart breaks for you. So much support and love, so much care and he didn't make it. May Grey's troubles be over and may he rest in peace and gentleness surrounded by love.
ReplyDeleteNo one could have tried harder than you did. I hope that is some comfort in this sad time. We all know you did and we were all there hoping.
Always so sad when a furball goes. Please take some comfort from the fact that you and Sharon gave him a *much* better life than he would have had without you.
ReplyDeleteOh darn - we just got home from vacation and I'm catching up on my cat blogs. Poor good boy. We'll all miss him, although I'm sure not as much as you will.
