I have had many cats in my 26 years, especially since I moved from Calif. to Tenn. 30 years ago. They passed from various health problems, but the one who stands out forever is Smoky. For 2 years I took food to her up to the Smoky Mts. until a friend helped me catch her. She was a beautiful long haired tortoise shell cat. Thinking I'd vet her & find a home was soon crushed when the vet told me she was 10 yrs old & I knew people didn't adopt cats over 5 yrs. old. So Smoky stayed with me for another 10 years. One day I noticed her drooling a lot & my vet sadly told me she had a cancer under her tongue. It doubled in size within 3 days. No matter how she tried she couldn't eat. The day I said good bye to her she was playing with a peacock feather, as if she was healthy & happy. It broke my heart.

I love you all and miss you so much!

Animals are innocent and need humans to speak for them when they are ill or when they need special help that love + good food + play cannot remedy.

Jiggs, Jeeko, Mitzi, Sassy, Duffy, Bede, Suco, Ming, Tori, Arathon, Bambi, Honcho, Casey, Punkin, Quincy, A.J., Daphne, Otis, Panther, Sweet Pea, Kari, Amanda, Sundae, Soda, Baxter, Smudge, Jeremy, Cinnamin, Petunia, Izzy, Lady Bug and Thomas. Probably half of them have died of cancer.

All of my pets listed here, passed from cancer. Cancer must be stopped! I believe some of our pets are being poisoned w/ cancer caused by inferior pet foods!

Animals & our pets depend on us and they go through enough without having cancer be something else they have to get. We want & need our furry friends around for many happy, healthy years.

I loved these kitties in less than 9 months. Peek-a-boo was the best one. He was hit by a car in front of my house. He was only about a year old. He shooed up under the carport. I miss them so much, look forward to seeing them in heaven some day.

Even tho gone for many years, I mourn them daily.

Woodrow was my first Valentine's Day gift from my husband after we got married. Woodrow lived 12 yrs. and passed away from osteosarcoma. After his death I wanted to start donating to something special in his memory and I told my husband that when I found it "I would know." When I found the Morris Animal Foundation booth at the dog show in Pittsburgh I knew I had found the "special" place. I have been donating to Morris since then and it has been a long time.

Czar the cat is a cancer survivor and doing great at age almost 14!

Any cancer is tough to deal with, but her bladder cancer was heartbreaking.
