Liza
2011 Liza is another one that shows how much it takes a village sometimes to save a life.
Liza was in the Austin Texas pound. Cute as a button and friendly as can be, she usually would be considered very adoptable....
EXCEPT... she is FELV+ a death sentence in most animal control facilities. Lucky for her, she is young, friendly and cute as a
button. The volunteers made a huge effort to find her a place to go, they did not want to see her euthanized.
We were contact and agreed to take her. We contacted a group in Austin (Shadow Cats) who agreed to pull her and take her to
the vets to be boarded and cared for. (The director of Shadow Cats husband is a wonderful vet and takes amazing care of the animals).
Once she was fixed and healthy, Shadow cats delivered her to the airport where an amazing lady named Brita and her friend flew from
Dallas to Austin and then took her to Atlanta where we had a foster home for her.
A week later, Lisa drove her to us for our open house.
See how many people it took to save this little girls life?
You can watch her every day LIVE. She is in house 2, room 2,
A picture caught by a viewer on our live stream of her playing in the balls during the night.

Liza arrived 9 years ago from animal control in Texas where she was going to be euthanized because she was leukemia positive.
With a lot of help we were able to save her and her companion Sheila (who died of leukemia years ago) Over the years Liza
has welcomed and said goodbye to many cats as new leukemia kitties joined us and left us. She loved to cuddle and sleep with
her buddy Journey who is the last of the original 12 FELV+ kitties.
Liza went to the vet last week for her regular check up. The vet said she needed a dental, she had a couple of teeth causing her
discomfort and she had a large mass in her mouth that she wanted to look at closer and remove. Today she returned for her dental.
When the vet had her under anesthesia she found the mass was much larger and deeper than she first thought and there was no
question that it was malignant. She called me and we discussed our choices.
Our experiences with mouth cancer is it is very painful and you can not cure it. We believe in quality of life. We made the
painful decision to let her go. She was blessed to have had 9 years that she was not going to get. We were blessed to have
been able to care for her for so long.
I know her cat friends will miss her very much. She was a sweet kitty who never bothered a soul. She will be missed.
I am sorry
