I can't wrap my head around a world without Mary Kate in it. There was no more selfless, vibrant, caring person than she was. A fierce advocate for all things furry - especially cats - she also wrapped her big heart around her beloved family and a legion of friends.

I'm honored to have been among those friends for decades, although my kids and I considered her part of our family.
She was "Cake" to us (her nickname), godmother to my youngest son, and I will always be grateful to have been in her orbit. Her passion may have been the two feline rescues that she co-founded, but she rescued me more times than I can count.

Loyal. Compassionate. Energetic. Determined. There really aren't enough words to describe her, or what I will miss about her; her laugh, for sure.
Go with God, Cake - in peace and without pain at last.

Love you always ~ "AL"
