Dad Terry here today. On Thursday, just two days after our dear Zoe came home from the hospital, her Mom and I made the most difficult decision to let her go. Our sweet girl was not improving, as we so hoped, instead she was getting worse, lots worse. Our sweet Zoe passed peacefully while laying in her Mom’s lap.
We’re all pretty sad here and we all miss that dear girl. Zoe was her Mom’s puppy, following her everywhere throughout the years. Zoe would often be found curled up with her Mom on the couch. Zoe almost always slept with her Mom or, quite often, on her Mom. Sadly, those loving and cherished moments are no more.
Our Zoe was the cat that really didn’t want to come home from Kitten Action Team when I went to adopted Angel Gracie and a companion. She leaped the 3-gate high barrier during the introduction period here asserting her independence right off the bat. She, as many of you know, faced multiple surgeries to remove huge furballs from her tummy and had several teeth removed with dental surgery. Poor Zoe was not tolerant of anesthesia at all.
Our Zoe was also a Stage 2 CDK kitty and a rare one at that. Typically with Chronic Kidney Disease the disease progresses and the kidney values get worse. Not our Zoe. Her numbers actually improved and her numbers on her last test were close to normal. The lymphoma was something she could not beat.
Angel Zoe, your Mom and I miss you dearly and there will never be a day that goes by that we don’t remember you and the joy you brought to us. We will love you forever sweetheart. Thank you for letting us love you and thank you for loving us and for sharing your earthly life with us. Love and hugs dear girl, rest easy, you’ve more than earned it.
We are so sorry for the loss of your sweet Zoe. Hugs and purrs to you all.
I’m so sorry. I was really hoping Zoe had more time to spend with you. Lots of purrs to everyone. <3
Farewell, special and brave girl. Loved forever.
I am so very sorry. Zoe will be greatly missed, not just by her loving family, but all who knew her through blogging.
I send love and hugs.
We’re heartbroken. You have all our love and thoughts. Zoe was brave to the last – and you loved her all along the way – as did we.
I’m so sorry. Sending purrs and love. We’re all going to miss her.
Oh, no, I’m so very sorry for Zoe’s passing. I, too, had hoped that Zoe would have more time with you all. Derry and I are sending our prayers and purrs, hugs and kitty kisses.
So sorry to hear this. Goodbye sweet Zoe and I know everyone’s heart is aching and how much Mom will miss her puppy. Cats that follow humans around like that are rare I think. My husband said he had one that thought it was a dog and it followed him everywhere. Hugs and prayers for your aching hearts
Oh No, we are so so sorry Terry. It is so hard to lose our fur friends. The Mom here is crying her eyes out. Big hugs to you both.
We were afraid to come by today as we have had a feeling this would be the case for several days now. Zoe had such beautiful furs. We are so sad for you, and we will miss seeing her too. GBGV hugs to all of the family. So very sad to lose such a sweet girl.
We are so very very sad to hear this news about sweet Zoe. You’re right though – she really had some rough roads with health things and beat them all down to size but lymphoma is a whole other thing. She fought to stay I’m sure because she loved her family so much. We will miss her – beautiful girl. Just know we are sending you virtual hugs for your HUGE loss………
Love, Teddy and Mom Pam
(((hugs)))) We are so sorry that Zoe has gone OTB. We really hoped you would have had more time with her. She was a special girl and will be missed.

Dear loving family of Zoe…
I send you my heartfelt sympathy and hopes that in time…the memories of the last few days with Zoe will be replaced with all the wonderful memories of Zoe.
Zoe and Madi faced very similar issues with the kidneys, I know the daily struggles to keep the values where they need to be. We promise ourselves we will take care of them with every being in our body. Unfortunately, that includes knowing when their true spirit has left their body.
Healing hugs and love,
Cecilia

Oh no, Terry. I am so very sorry for your loss! I’m sitting here choking back tears. Your poor sweet Zoe. My dear, sweet Callie lost her battle with lymphoma back in August of ’15.
