Replies to my message when Animal Control told me they put him to sleep

Subject: My baby will never come home again
animal control just called me this afternoon
they found him injured on Morada Street in Covina, 3.6 miles due west of Cyril off Badillo
5.9 miles almost due south from my house.
on 5/28 at 12:10, three weeks ago
i found an entry of a neutered black male in the euthanization record at animal control on Thursday, I inquired then about details but was told it was a black and white cat. They also said a large cat, couldn't specify whether heavy or large, same thing to them. somehow i missed the entry or they hadn't put that page in the log in the past three weeks.
it just kept bugging me the last two days. so i had to go back today and asked the same woman again, what was the color of the cat again? again she said black first, then "and white".
i kept asking, are you sure black and white and she said yes. i was not entirely relieved but then she offered to talk to the officer who picked him up to make sure after I asked her for the officers name, when she comes back from the field this evening.
that was this morning and when i got the page a bit ago i knew it was animal control number and i knew what they would tell me...............
i am devastated, done, over, my baby is dead, died on the way to my house, he must have run to cover 3.6 miles, an almost unbelievable distance for a cat
thank you all for your support and good luck wishes, it was not supposed to be that i get him back....

So very sorry to hear he's gone. You did your very best to try to find him. No-one could have done more. Now you finally know his fate and wont torment yourself with thoughts of him being out there on his own. Though now you have to come to terms with never seeing him again. I truly know how you feel.
Why do we do this to ourselves? Because we're animal lovers. Because we care about how they're treated and strive to alleviate their suffering. Because we love them and their relationship to us. Because they're independent, smart, funny, and love unconditionally. All your cats couldn't have had it any better than with you. Though nothing lasts forever. We will all die some day. Until that day you and I will continue with our quest. We do our best.
You're stronger than you think. No Tail's gone but he's not frightened or suffering any more.
I don't believe in heaven. Not for people. But for animals....maybe. Perhaps No Tail is with Lettie. I hope so.
Give your babies a hug from me. They know you're hurting. They'll be worried about you.
Your friend, Sarah

I cannot put into words how sorry that what I had feared this last week or so (has come true)!
I am so very sorry. If I can do anything for you, please let me know. If you cannot run an errand, if you just cannot get out of the house due to your feelings, please leave me a voice mail or email and I can help!
I am sorry dear friend. So sorry.....

hello Gabriele,
I am very sorry to hear this from you. this is too bad. I was hoping this story would have a happy ending. You had done so much. What happened was beyond what you could have done. You certainly gave it 125% effort too.
So sorry

I read this and did not know what to say to you. I hope you don't mind. I shared this with SPCLA. I wanted them to see, there are people out there who do care and would go a big distance for their babies. One of these days we will have to meet.
love, Judy

Ohhh, I’m so so sorry to hear he’s gone. I’m sure his good days out-weighed his bad days. He was loved very much.
I’m here if you ever feel like reminiscing, talking or venting.
Love ya much and I’ll say a prayer for you.

Dear Gabi,
I am so sorry to hear about NoTail. I know he was very dear to you, and you will miss him. Please know that our thoughts are with you. You have given him a wonderful home and all your love and devotion. I don't know his story yet, but I know how much you loved him and I am sure he did as well.
My email did not include the attachment "No Tail's Fateful Journey" only a reference to it. If you are up to it, I would love to read it when you can send it. I will certainly look at your website for him. If his Fateful Journey is on the site, I can read it there.
Please take care,
Ingrid

Your website for Notail had me in tears. I just visited it.
Very well done, very fitting the honor and memory of Notail !!!
This has been the first time I had a chance to check email since mid week and I just saw your message. I am sad that I have not been able to reply sooner. I have had an unbelievably demanding work week. Started feeling feverish, just fluish by Thursday (just so worn out) and I had to lay down when I got home. Couldn't do much more.....Could not get up in the morning...Struggled thru the last couple days and then had to work all day today and need to go in tomorrow. Need to finish an analysis of data to locate a fault on a job-site. Client needs the answer Monday and it is very complex. Too bad for me.
I know you must not be well, or much better for that matter. Leave me message if I can get you something or if you have a need for something.
Love You,
Susan
PS..MY theory: Notail did not suffer from being cold or wet. I bet he was resting in the bushes of one of the residential lots (trying to decide which way to go). The sprinklers came on and he got scared and ran (probably out into the street).......

Hi Gabi,
…..I went to your website about your cat(s). Wow, you are absolutely incredible. If I were an animal, I'd sure want you to take care of me. Sorry to hear it sounds like your cat ran out of lives......but it also sounds like you're not certain!?!?!? Let's pray for a miracle!
Hope you get to feeling a lot better soon. I know it must be difficult working under the circumstances but I also know about "billable hours". Why can't compassion spill over into the business world?
Anyway, take care Gabi and hopefully we can really get together on the 8th.
Fondest Regards, -Jim-
