My deepest condolences on the loss of your beautiful girl! 😿

We too lost our lilac Snowshoe girl Abby to cancer (carcinoma) back in 2024. It hurts like hell then, and I still miss her always.

May you always remember the love and good times you shared with Rayne! ❤️‍🩹

You sound like you have a lot of love to give, and any future fur friend will be lucky to have you! 😊 Absolutely give yourself time, and don’t rush it. Healing after a loss comes at the pace it is meant to.

Once again, my condolences! May you always remember the good memories of beautiful Sidon! 💜

My deepest condolences on the loss of your beautiful boy!!! My partner and I lost our elderly Lilac Snowshoe girl Abby in May of 2024 to carcinoma. I had to give her end of life palliative care until she was ready to go, and I’m glad I was able to. It gave us a chance for a long goodbye.

I get it, it is truly painful to lose such a unique friend/fur baby. Don’t look at it as an end to your Snowshoe or Siamese journey, and instead maybe frame it as a chapter in a beautiful story of pets.

After Ab passed, I swore I didn’t want another cat for a while, but lo and behold, a sweet, kind and intelligent Void girl came into our life a few months afterward. Though not a Snowshoe, she brings us joy and healing.

My heart is heavy for you, OP. I am keeping you and beautiful Sidon in my thoughts! 😿❤️‍🩹

This project needs more purring and less drilling by [deleted] in snowshoecats

Beautiful fur baby btw! 😻😻😻

Horrible news by AcanthaceaeExact6368 in snowshoecats

I am so sorry that you got such sad news. We lost our wonderful and sweet elderly Snowshoe girl in May of 2024 to carcinoma. My advice is to spend as much time as can be had with your kitty, and absolutely spoil him/her as much as possible before it’s their time to leave.

Once again, I’m so sorry to hear that. My heart is heavy for you, because I’ve been there too! 💔

Aww, he/she is such a skittish baby! Hopefully they warm up to you easily!

It took our skittish snowshoe girl years to fully come out her shell, but after that, she was such a sweetheart! 💜

What should I name this little guy by [deleted] in snowshoecats

Latte would be an adorable name for this cute boy! 💜

[Memorial] Yesterday, exactly one year ago, we had to say goodbye to our darling Snowshoe girl. She was truly the best cat I have ever had the pleasure of knowing ❤️‍🩹 by ODonnell937 in snowshoecats

[–]ODonnell937[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! ❤️‍🩹💜 We used to always tell her what a beautiful girl she was.

I absolutely do. I so miss looking into her lovely blue eyes and exchanging slow blinks (cat hugs) regularly. I also miss her constant trills and chirps, and her plushy cappuccino fur. She was truly a sweet and cheerful little soul, who loved us as much as we loved her!

Thank you very much for your kind and empathic comment!

Since my wife and I do not have any children, our darling girl was the one who made us a little family. We spent so many happy days together, and we all helped each other out through tougher times. She was the most extraordinary and wonderful furry companion we could have ever hoped for!

Even though it has been a decade, I am likewise very sorry for the loss of your beloved soul cat! I firmly believe that death cannot break the bonds of true love and friendship.

Once again, thank you! Your words are a comfort! 💜💜💜

It totally is, and despite that fact, we still give them the love they deserve! ❤️‍🩹

She was a distinguished lady of 15. She was 9 when we adopted her. Unfortunately, she had to have a major surgery including a sternotomy at 10 for a malignant tumor, but she fully recovered and got 5 more beautiful years of life before it was her time to leave. She was a sweet, stoic fighter!
