It is with great sadness that I report a good friend passed away recently.

Heathcliff, a gentle, sweet and loving red Persian had been adopted five years ago by Angel’s friends (who also do Persian cat rescue).

Heathcliff finally went to the great kitty playground in the sky.

Heathcliff had been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy at his adoption.  His veterinarian had given him six months to live – five years ago.

This just shows what a loving and nurturing home can do for a special needs cat.  He had devoted people who religiously give him heart medication twice a day.  They even hired a babysitter when they were gone for a day or more – because Heathcliff needed his medication at regular intervals, and they wanted him to have some company as well.

It’s true that Heathcliff needed a lot of attention and care, but he gave back tenfold the love and affection to his people – they will miss him sorely.

Goodbye Heathcliff – may you forever chase butterflies and chew sweet catnip; may you forever more be free from pain and the restrictions of a faulty heart.

We’ll miss you!
