Shady and Sydney Beth
Sydney Beth adopted Shady in 2001, she was one of Sydney Beth's mom relative's cat, but I guess they no longer could have her, so Shady moved in with us and became Sydney's best friend. She was just under a year old at that time.
Shady just made the move in the last year from Michigan to Minnesota, she had a physical at the veterinary in her new hometown was given a good bill of health. In the last few weeks, she started to lose weight and looked as if she had a "kitty cold", so on Thursday, August 4, she was taken to the veterinary and she was diagnosed with "acute kidney failure". On Friday, the decision was made in the best interest of Shady's pain and suffering, was to release her from that pain and she was laid to sleep forever.
On Saturday, August 6, 2011, Shady, the mother of five, was remembered for her affectionate personality and kind disposition toward anyone who would bend down and give her attention, she purred with great appreciation and adoration.
Shady, you were truly a motherly feline and will be cherished by all who knew you!
