In honor of my 5 precious cats, ranging in age from 8 years to just 18 months.  All victims of the pet food recall.  Also all survivors by the grace of God. 

Snoop Dog, a grouchy cymric age 8
Bert and Ernie, loving brothers age 7
Sherman, my shy snowshoe age 6
Wally, my crazy DSH age 18 months

My only hope is that we can continue to sustain your lives for years more to come.  Please know your daddy and I will continue to always be your kidneys the best we can.  We will do whatever we can for you. 

A year ago today when you all were lifeless and about to succumb to the poisons, there was never a second thought about our decision to fight and not give you up.  Hearing you purr at the site of us as you lay too weak to get up was all the inspiration we needed.  The vet sent you all home with us that day to die.  We had other plans, and the fight of our lives ensued.  It has been a bumpy road but as I sit at the computer today with two of you fighting to get on my lap, I am overcome with greatfulness to all those who cared, to all those who helped. 

To the medical teams, to the vet staff, to our family and friends.  A special thank you to my husband who supported us and was so strong through this all.  You are an amazing man for being the caregiver and fluid administrator and home cooked food dishes cleaner upper.  I couldn't ask for more.  And to Itchmo for giving me a trusted outlet for information and support beyond what I ever imagined.  We are making a difference.  You have all made a difference in the lives of 5 quirky rescue cats that everyone else gave up on.

On this sad day we are all thinking of all the unique lives cut short by this tragedy, and those humans that loved and cherished them.  Let us never forget.
