My deepest sympathy for your loss. What a wonderful tribute to you that beautiful Charlene had such a long life and was so obviously loved. I have asked all of my sweet babies who have gone on to look for her and guide her on to her next journey. My tears for you and those others who must go on without her.
Vos Amies Français,Ma Chère Gréta,s'associe ,à votre douleur,et nous sommes sincèrement désolés ,pour la perte de la petite Charlène........son souvenir ,restera gravé dans nos coeurs et nous pensons aussi ,àTHOMAS et BRUNO.
Oh Greta, how sad ..... you lost another baby ..... I know how much you suffered for Thomas and Bruno, and now Charlene ..... but think that she is now playing at Rainbow Bridge with her brothers and all our little angels .... RIP Charlene .... A big hug to you Greta.
What a very sad start to the day, to find that is is time to say goodbye to dearest Charlene. May she rest in peace at the rainbow bridge with all the sweet kitty friends who have gone before and will meet her there. Sincerest condolences to you in your loss. I do know how much it hurts that they leave us so soon.
Greta, I can't even write because tears are flowing and flowing...I'm so sorry that you lost Charlene, but she had 20 great years with you and that is the important thing. RIP sweetie, we will so miss you....
So sad... I feel sorry for you. Charlene sure was an adorable friend, because of all the love you gave her. Your pain must be so great. Haïku Neko an I send you our deepest sympathy
I am so sorry for your loss....lots of tears for you. You are obviously a very kind and good owner and Charlene was fortunate to have you as Mum. Like one of the people said in their comments, she'll live large in your heart. It sounds like you did everything possible to help her - I too take comfort that all our little friends are in a better place and in no pain. Deepest condolences :( but lots of positive thoughts coming your way for the splendid love you and your kitty had (have ) :)
Aw, so sad the final visit to the vet. I know it is just overwhelming sadness right now, but I hope that soon you can feel happy again when you think of Pud, and all the good times you had with her. I have sent out a thought to my dog Sam, and my cat Cricket who are Rainbow Bridge veterans that a sweety named Pud will shortly be arriving, and to take her under their wing, and show her the ropes.
I was still hoping the vet, Catriona would say that there was a chance but she made it clear that there was nothing else to be done. One of Charlene's kidneys was enlarged too, so perhaps the kidney medication wasn't working or maybe her organs were just failing......Catriona was so kind, both to me and to Charlene who she has seen before. That's the worst thing about loving our pets so much....it's the saying goodye. I kissed Charlene's lovely little head and rubbed her chin when I said goodbye......I just can't stop crying......At least she will not suffer and will be now with all our loved ones at Rainbow Bridge. They will all be there to welcome her, Bruno, Thomas, Buddy, Andrew, Daisy.....all of them and many more, all our dear friends that we miss so much. That gives me comfort too.......

Oh Greta ... I feel your pain ... I have been through similar situations with my babies ... they hide their suffering so well it's difficult to know when it's time to let them go ... my heart aches for you because I know that your furries are your dearly beloveds and will be forever and ever ... hugs dear friend
Thank you so much everyone for your kindness. It has been such a battle to keep her alive. She took really ill a couple of weekends ago and it was touch and go but the medication and diet food saw her rally but it wasn't to last. She had been blimd for a couple of years caused by high blood pressure, something no-one can tell until it is too late and then had late onset kidney failure. Both things were under control with regular medication and she was happy and well and then came the tumour. She was on steroids for that as they couldn't do much else because of her age. I just cried in the vets. Charlene was rubbing her face on my hand and purring even though she was desperately ill and I knew I was probably going to have to leave her. I have never felt so desperate since I lost Bruno. The vet had warned me than when she stopped eating, there was really no hope and by then Charlene couldn't be tempted to eat, no matter what i tried her on. Her weight dropped over the weekend to 2.5Kg and she was unsteady on her feet and confused. It was dreadful to see. She was dying right in front of me......it happened so quick. I hope she knows how much I love her and how I will miss her sweet little face.......so many tears............
Mon Dieu, quelle tristesse de voir partir une petite minette qu'on a aimée, soignée pendant toutes ces années, je suis se tout coeur avec vous, mais du pont de l'arc en ciel, elle vous voit et est désolée de votre chagrin, courage.
Oh my dear Greta ... I'm so, so very sorry to read about little Charlene ... I have been following her life with you for so long and I know what a tough road it's been for her ... what a fortunate little girl to have lived in your loving and caring home for so very long. What a brave, brave little furry she was ... I know they fight so hard for "us" don't they? 20 years on this planet for your baby was such a tribute to you and all the energy your home provided ... Please accept my sincere condolences, hugs and tears ... you are true friend to all ... rest well beautiful sweet Charlene ... I will never forget you and your valiant spirit.
It is with great sadness that I have to tell you, my dear friends, that my beautiful Charlene died today at the vets. She was about twenty years old and had been suffering from a series of serious ailments including kidney failure and sadly, could not survive the tumour that was growing in her little tummy. She was the bravest and sweetest little girl you could ever have had the pleasure to know and I will miss her so much. She will be laid to rest in the pet cemetery beside her brothers, Bruno and Thomas. Rest in peace, brave little angel.....xxxx
