Chris & Ree
Hillsboro
Mary Beth shared this sweet picture of Chris and Ree, one of our best images of either. Chris was always chary of having his picture taken, for no reason I really understood. We were always touched by the love that was evident between the two of them.

Ree (short for Tiresias) lost her eyes to an infection as a kitten. When brought to Angell Memorial Hospital, where our loved ones worked, they were going to euthanize her. But she purred so fetchingly in Chris’ arms that they adopted her, instead, adding her to their already-numerous array of rescued felines.

She was the sweetest creature, and we were always amazed at her facility in navigating the surroundings she could approach so impressively with her remaining senses. You can’t see in the picture that her whiskers had grown to what seemed to me an unusual length, the better, I presume, to find her way around.
