Oh, no! I'm so sorry.

You may not have been with Luna for long, but you did make her final days easier and filled with comfort and love.

She died during the night last week, it was really a sad thing to wake up to.
So, RIP to Lunacat the wanderer, who was cross-eyed and gap-toothed and sweet as can be.

My family says I should learn my lesson about sick stray creatures but I probably never will.
You should never feel the need to apologize, even for a second, for having the compassion to look after a sick or homeless animal. I think you've done a great thing and I really want to commend you for looking after Luna and providing her a home, even for a short time. I wish more people were like you.

Luna died knowing someone cared about her and loved her. Never second guess what you did.

Here she is:
Brevity snip.

You have my sincerest sympathy. I know that feeling of loss so well when one of these little ones pass on to the Rainbow Bridge.

So sorry to hear about your Luna. I lost my Luna about 3 yrs. ago. We take in strays knowing that we are taking in total strangers. But in the long run they become our best friends.
