In Memoriam
Katrina - 10/05/99
She was an orange female, about 1 year old and tiny for her age. Her legs almost seemed dwarf-like. She had curvurture of the spine, a broken tail , bowlegs, whiskers burnt off on oneside, a detached retna (probably due to head trauma) and the face of an angel. Her face glowed when you held her in your arms like a little baby and her eyes did not speak of the pain and suffering she had endured. After 3 months in our shelter, she was adopted by a nice couple and lived a sheltered life for another month. The she got sick and within weeks, wasted away except for her belly. I know I should feel thankful for being able to give her a few months of comfort in what was a life of pain but I feel so empty and exhausted and these cold streets of NY feel just a little colder. An angel has left us.
