Some of you may remeber Attila's story... a 4 y.o. Italian ginger cat who suffered from a rare and terrible disease. Despite 1 year of struggle, love, pain, hope, international efforts to save his life, the little Pirate Cat moved on to the Raibow Bridge two days ago.
His family and friends are still shocked by his loss, despite the fact that he did his best to let us know that he was ready to go... Attila is happy where he is now, no more pain and suffering for this brave boy who taught us love, pride, courage and dignity and left us a legacy of hope and friendship and love.
His website stays online, because we hope his story can help those unlucky cats who may be struggling with the same disease.
All links and requests for help and donations were removed, since Attila doesn't need that where he is now, so I hope I can post a link to his website here without breaking any forum rules:
http://attilathecat.altervista.org/index.html
If I wasn't allowed to link it, please remove the link... anyway if you google "Attila the cat" you'll find it right away... If you wish to leave a message to his family, who is reading the guestbook day by day and finds a lot of comfort in the words that Attila's friends are writing there, you are more than welcome.
Thanks to those who will send a thought of love to Attila and his family... we will never forget him!
Attila says goodbye

Re: Attila says goodbye
I'm so very sorry you've lost Attilla. What a wonderful guy he was with so many supporters caring for him. He is surely in a better place now, but his story and memory will be with us always. Thanks so muh for doding all you could for him. Thanks for letting us know.
Kitty kisses,
Debbie

Re: Attila says goodbye
I'm so very sorry for the loss of Attila. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who loved this little guy. I stumbled across his story while doing a search on Aspergillus. My cat was just diagnosed with having this fungus inside his ear. He is responding very well to treatment, however, after reading Attila's Story I am scared and very worried.
