Oh our Callie, 16 beautiful years of loving you and being smothered in love by you! You were by far the most affectionate feline I have ever owned. What warmed my heart is how for your entire life, you shared that with absolute strangers who passed our house or who was on your morning route. 

She was so loved by others that not once but twice a neighbour in Edmonton tried to actually kidnap you and make you their family. Even giving you a new name and collar. Thankfully people knew where you belonged and you also knew where home has always been. 

You weren’t just a family cat but Lily’s cat. Lily was so young but she knew she was finding a cat that day. In a room full of kittens, Callie chose Lily. Gosh did they love each other. 

Her beautiful long journey came to an end in loving hands.

Be free my beauty, no one can keep you from nature now.

Special gratitude to the women who came to our home to help Callie find her peace.
