In loving Memory of .......MAGGIE.

I remember the day when we brought Maggie home from the Kilsyth Animal Shelter, 3 weeks after we moved into our new home in 1996. Dave always said "we're never getting a cat!" then one day we went looking......she actually hissed at me through the cage when we chose her!



Driving back through Mt. Evelyn we named her Maggie...she was our first "kid" and I actually trained her to sit and fetch! This is her as a kitten.






She had been losing weight so I took her to the vets and they did all sorts of blood tests which turned up nothing, just keep an eye on her. We went to Fraser Island for a week and Mum was looking after her....she wasn't getting any better. I told her to make an appointment for me as soon as possible when we get back. The day after we returned I took her to a different vets where he confirmed what I had suspected.......CANCER.

Maggie passed away in her favourite spot in the garden this afternoon, you will forever be in our hearts and memories.


We love you.

Oh Elise, I am so sad for your loss. We have a very old 14 year old girl (cat) here that we know will pass soon too, so I can just imagine how sad you are. Sending hugs from a friend x Janelle
