Matriarch Shäst Passes

Shäst passed while I was at the hospital. She was 43 months of age. She suffered from advanced respiratory illness and had started to develop multiple tumors. (She also had cataract in both eyes but that doesn't slow ratties down!) Her name is Russian for "Piece of Luck." She was the first girl I adopted from OHS in July of 2007 at approximately 1 year of age. She was found on the streets of downtown Portland--SW 11th and Yamhill to be exact. She and her late cage mate Precious were the first to test out my cage concept that later became the RT-24 http://qualitycage.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=129_231_240&products_id=2306]. She took Lucy under her wing and was a great friend to Nona and of course her best friend Precious. Shast was 41 months old.

Be united with your friend little one and stuff as much paper as you want in cage wire! Shast has been prepared for private cremation at OHS.
