Our local shelter lost their in house cat to cancer.Boomer was a great cat.He had an innate sense of what dogs would be good in a dog and cat home.And, he was a all around loving cat. a great “greeter” for the shelter.
This is an open letter that the staff put together for Boomer.
Dear Boomer,We will miss having you greet us every morning, we will miss your zoomies, we will miss how you adamantly ask us to brush you every day and abruptly make us stop, we will miss how you wander around the yard and stretch at the front door, we will miss how you help us work by walking across our keyboards and pushing papers on the floor, we will even miss finding your random fur balls and how mad you get when we had to medicate you, we will miss seeing you greet everyone who comes through the shelter doors, we will miss how you test out every pillow and cat bed, we will miss how much you love cat nip, we will miss finding you in the food donation bin and in cabinets, we will miss having you sit on our laps, we will miss how you insist your wet food be served separately from your dry food, we will miss your keen canine awareness letting us know which dogs would be safe to rehome with cats, we will miss how you follow us from room to room, we will miss your purrs, squeaky meows, and headbutts. We got used to seeing you every day since your arrival on September 19, 2002. Of the thousands of cats who have entered our doors, you are the one we just couldn’t let go. Thank you for providing us all joy, comfort, love, and cuddles, and for being the Lincoln County Animal Shelter ambassador for over thirteen years. Over the past few weeks, despite special diets and care, we have watched your cheeks sink in, and felt your spine protruding; over the past few days, we have heard your labored breathing and saw your lack of energy. We weren’t surprised to hear cancer had taken over your body, but the news broke our hearts. We have to let you go now. We will miss you, Boomer, so very much.With much love, Your Staff ❤
