We are devastated that on 20/12/25 we had to say goodbye to our darling Maisie. The time we had together was not long enough, she was  taken too soon. Back in 2022 I was asked if I could foster her, best thing I failed at, she was my first foster, and became part of our family. We adopted her not long after we drove up to Bendigo pound to pick her up. The people at the centre told me that “she is the best cat” and she truly was. A very loving cat, not recognising humans may like personal space she really liked to get close. She’d sleep on my chest at night resting her head on my face. From the day she came into our lives she was family. Her diagnosis last year was devastating, we wanted and tried to save her, but the treatment only worked for so long. Maisie let me know it was time, I really didn’t want to listen, but I couldn’t let her suffer: She died in my arms purring. We loved her so much, and miss her everyday. We still cry remembering what we had and that it has been taken away. We are so grateful to have had our darling Maisie in our family, a cat who truly made a difference. She made everyone smile. Until we meet again my beautiful girl Maisie.
