💕With much sadness we share that our precious, beautiful foster Noche gained her angel wings.🪽We are grateful to her foster family for their compassionate hospice care and unconditional love for Noche. Please hold them in your thoughts. Noche was so dearly loved.💕

From her family:
It has been a sad week here at North Roe. Our beautiful senior hospice forever foster, Noche, became ill last weekend.

We said goodbye to her late Wednesday morning, in the shade of a beautiful tree, with a slight breeze rustling the leaves as she crossed the rainbow bridge.

Thank you to Minnesota Sheltie Rescue for letting us be her final family this last year. Noche was very loved and very spoiled, and we are going to miss her dearly.

😻Foster Sheltie Shadow: “I’ve been bragging in the neighborhood how pawsome my foster home is. Well, this mama cat must have heard, because she decided a safe place to have her babies was in our barn!🙀 So, my foster mom is now fostering me (Shadow the Sheltie) and this beautiful mama cat and her kittens.” Midnight will be spayed & vaccinated and the kittens must be altered also. To adopt Midnight (black cat) or a kitten (2 black, 2 tortoiseshell, 1 grey striped) as an indoor cat in Minnesota, DM Lynn or 📧 [email protected] 😻

Shadow asks you to please share this post!
