Goodnight our sweet Whitney...we will miss you.

Our sweet 7 year old kitty, Whitney, recently passed away from a tough battle with mammary tumors. She was one of my first friends when I moved to NC. I rescued her from the local animal shelter because my other cat, Abbe, was having a hard time adjusting to the move. She was almost a year old when she was rescued, but she had such a sweet face that I picked her out immediately. She developed a large mammary tumor last year which was removed. The vet informed us that the type of cancer that she had was localized to those glands, but we may see it come back. They did...after the last time that we had them removed, Jayson & I decided that we would not put her through another surgery if they came back again. Shortly after returning from our wedding, we noticed that Whitney was keeping to herself a lot and her hair was falling out. We soon discovered that the tumors had returned and she seemed to be in a lot of pain. Although we would wanted to have her forever, we decided that she had suffered enough and we let her go. She really was one of the sweetest companions you would ever meet and we will miss her forever. Goodnight our sweet Whitney....we love and miss you.
