Cocoa passed away on June 4, 2000. She had lived 16 years with us after we found her as a stray...so in actuallity she may have been older than 17 years; amazing for a cat...and that she was! She was very healthy her whole life except for some minor kidney problems towards the end. She only became seriously ill the last week of her life and thankfully she didn't seem too conscious. She passed on quite peacefully in the arms of someone who loved her. She will be missed by friends, human and feline alike.
Cocoa was known as our "ambassador cat" and "mama cat", she tried to take care of all of us, and she was always the first to welcome anyone new. Her sensitivity to anyone's suffering was unparalleled to any other cat I've met.
