Memorials
We understand that the decision to euthanize your cat can be a very difficult decision to make. Maybe this poem (Author Unknown), will help you in some way.
If It Should Be
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep
Then will you do what must be done
For this – the last battle – can’t be won.
You will be sad I understand
But don’t let grief then stay your hand
For on this day, more than the rest
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years
you wouldn’t want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where my needs they’ll tend
Only stay with me until the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me
Although my tail its last has waved
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don’t grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do
We’ve been so close – we two – these years
Don’t let your heart hold any tears.
Below are some of our client’s cats we have known and loved and who are no longer with us. They still live in our memories and on this page.
Fiona
Fiona came into our lives after spending years as a favorite at the clinic. She was pretty, and she knew it. She was also very loving. She even survived when our house completely burned in 2010, blessed that the firemen gave her oxygen.
Daphne Zola (7/29/98 – 6/21/15)
Daphne was like another member of our family here. A frequent boarder, we all loved her to bits. She loved having her chin and face rubbed and her motor, ah, what a great sound! She will be terribly missed by her parents and all of us at Metro Cat Clinic. We are so lucky that we got to have her as long as we did. She was a special girl.
“When tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart. For every time you think of me, I’m there inside your heart.”
This is MeeKai. She came to my husband and I as an extremely sick, almost 4 pound, three year old. At that time, she had pneumonia and you could see every bone in her body, from the base of her skull to the tip of her tail.
My love of the breed made me want to do everything to save her. With the help of the amazing staff at Allentown Cat Clinic, lots of food, and of course, love, she blossomed. We renamed her MeeKai, which means precious, and she sure was!
She greeted me every night at the door and would literally jump into my arms to rub all over my face. She slept under the covers with us at night, loved stealing spaghetti off our plates and being outside whenever we were.
We lost her at the very young age of 7 to renal failure. I miss her every day, but feel so blessed that we got to make her well and give her a family that loved her like mad! Funny…I know that she loved us just as much. You could see it in her eyes!
