Unexpectedly, on Thursday, January 11, Noel, the Christmas cat, the Queen of the DogDaz_Cats2 zoo, left this earth and passed over the rainbow bridge, to the big cat tree in the sky.
Not that you can say the passing of an almost 17-year-old cat (3/17/2007) is unexpected, but we really thought she was going to be our 20+ feline. It seems that she just started to go downhill healthwise since the summer and she developed diabetes and kidney issues (dropping 4 lbs in the last month). The poor sweet thing was just so unhappy and needed to be at peace.
Noel came to us on death’s door all those many years ago (Christmas 2007), with feline herpes. She was maybe 9 months old and we rescued her with another cat, Constance Kitty, who left us back in 2012. Click here to read Noel’s Story
She started out as this shy little white thing who didn’t know how to play but over her many years, and the many animals, she became the boss; the blogger; and the Queen. If you search Noel on the sidebar you will find years and years of stories and pictures. She saw us through 3 growing children and many many rescues.

Sleep my precious angel and know that you added so much love and happiness to our zoo.
