PATTY – Jan 5/09
Our dear, sweet Patty died the same way she lived – with dignity and grace. Patty was one of the gentlest souls I have ever met, human or feline. Patty never believed in rushing anything, all good things would come to her if she waited. As a resident, Patty had not been caged for as long as I can remember – she had the freedom to walk around wherever she wanted, although she mostly 
preferred the back room. Over the years, Patty developed a unique friendship with three of our other resident cats, Athena, Clementine and especially, Clara (in the basket with Patty). They became known as the Fab Four. Patty wasn’t just decoration all these years at Animal Aide. She truly left her mark. It was Patty who helped Clara to see that not all humans were bad. It was Patty that showed Clara the true meaning of love and it breaks 
my heart that Clara will not understand her loss, no matter how deeply she will feel it. Patty was a guiding force for the three girls, who doted on her. Patty was their matriarch – she loved deeply, enjoyed life and knew how to rest and relax. Patty was a calming spirit for everyone; she never seemed to feel anxious or scared. I’m sure she always felt safe and loved. Animal Aide will not be the same without her for Patty had wisdom beyond even our years. We love you Patty, and we will miss you dearly. Goodbye……
