Lilly from Charlotte

Lilly

Lilly came home to live with me on June 12, 2009. She was about 3 months old. She was a brown tabby cat I got from someone at work. She was a mean little kitten but that made her fun.

She had one litter of kittens, Lilac, Darryl and Darlene, born September 1, 2010. Darlene was hit and killed December 7, 2011 at 15 months. Darryl ran away in April, 2012. Lilac is still living.

Lilly was a sweet kitty. She would be lying in the driveway waiting for me when I came home from work or from a trip. She knew which room I slept in and would paw at my window screen during the night when she wanted in.

During the night of July 7/8, 2017, she was probably killed by a coyote. I found her in the front yard on Saturday, July 8. My heart was broken. She was my favorite kitty. I miss her so much. No one can ever replace her.

She has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge to her real forever home. I look forward to being with her again.
