my KittyCat, who is 19 years old, who WAS 19 years old… Had to be euthanized yesterday morning.

“I’m so sad and I miss her so much. Her name was Queenie and I adopted her from Dirty Little Paws from my daughter Kathy. I will miss her very much but I’m glad Kathy was there with me. I had her for 16 years. She was rescued from downey Animal Shelter in Los Angeles 16 years ago and she was taken right off the table…”

The Wrap

Before San Diego had shopping centers, it had mammoths.
