Cirrus was an orphaned street cat that chose us to be his human family. We “adopted” an emaciated 4-lb. lonesome little boy covered in dirt. What emerged a month later was a 9-lb. white foreign short-hair/cream Siamese with beautiful light blue eyes. He was a gorgeous cat with a loving heart and gentle soul. Unfortunately, he died after receiving an overdose of Ivermectin. He struggled valiantly to survive the poisoning. Even in his last hours he tried to curl one paw around my hand to show his love.

Even though we only had the privilege of being his family for six short months, we will always remember him.

The Pet Loss Help Line (and the WSU veterinary website) has been invaluable to us in our struggle for justice in Cirrus’ case, as well as helping us through our grief. We know Cirrus is at peace now, and free from pain…please send a little prayer his way after you read his story. He will send you a heavenly “purr” in return. =^..^=
