Lucy McCullough

On October 29, 2024, our precious Lucy had to be sent over the rainbow bridge as she was suddenly suffering from intestinal Lymphoma which unfortunately is never found until it’s too late. Although our hearts are broken, we were blessed by her sassy little presence for 11 years.

Lucy was 4 weeks old when we found her hiding at rear of our car on a cold rainy August day. Her chance of survival didn’t look good, but we nurtured her along and she turned out to be a dainty beautiful black Persian with a gnarly growl and a “I’m bad” strut with very few cat instincts. She saw herself as a person more than a cat. Other cats would often look at her like maybe she wasn’t a cat. At night she would love to lie next to you and stare while you slept and if you turned away from her, she would whimper and complain until you turned back to her side so she could head butt you a few times to let you know not to do that again. In daytime she loved to lay on her pedestal looking out the window at squirrels and birds coming right up to the window as she watched with no idea what to do about them. 

Lucy had a good life as an indoor cat. Her passing was suddenly unexpected and as much as we are happy to see her suffering has ended ours has just begun as grief left us stunned by her loss. She was a beloved part of our family and left us with many fond memories with warmth in our hearts that we will never forget. We will never have another princess like Lucy. She was one of a kind that we will miss forever. Until our heads butt each other again “We love you our darling little Lucy ! “
