R.I.P. Lola 2010 - 2024

Lola, aka Kiddo-cat, passed away at 12:15pm on November 11, 2024, after a valiant battle with osteosarcoma of her lower jaw. She was a fighter: the prognosis of her life expectancy when first diagnosed was less than 3 months; she outlasted that by living vigorously for nearly a year longer. Throughout her life, she was a joy in all aspects. She loved watching the birds roosting on the neighbor’s roof. She loved sleeping on the couch while I watched the news. She loved moist, canned food, I mean really loved it. And, she hated ceiling fans, all three in the house; no idea why, but she did.

She was one of three siblings I rescued from the Baltimore Humane Society in October 2010. Her little sister, Lupe, passed away in 2023. She is survived by her big brother, Juan.

I miss her very much. I am all too thankful for all the love and joy she brought into my life. I’m sure there’s lots of moist cat food in cat heaven. You will live on in my memories (and photographs). Farewell, lovely cat.
