Sarah Smolens 2010 – 2022

Sarah Smolens (2010 – 2022)

It is with a heavy heart today that I announce our cat Sarah Smolens (2010 – 2022) went to the big kitty box in the sky early this morning. Our little one-eye wonder was Linda’s constant companion.

Sarah was a gift from Ms. Tammie Trbovich of Orlando, who rescued six kittens from the local shelter. Sarah was the runt of the group, being born with only one eye. However, her positive attitude immediately connected with Linda. Although we had four other cats (Sophie, Sugar, Spice, and Buddy) at the time, Tammie brought Sarah to Northern Virginia, and we added her to the mix.

During Sophie’s last days, she became a foster mother to little Sarah. When Sophie passed on, Sarah took over the job of staying with Linda. Since then, Sarah has been by Linda’s side, comforting her as she faced her medical challenges.

Portrait of Sarah

The attached image is a digital painting I created of Sarah showing off her beautiful and colorful markings. This portrait and the painting of Linda and Sarah on the couch that I recently shared are two of my favorite paintings. To see these and other digital paintings, check out the digital painting gallery section of P.B.S. Studios website

Thank you, Sarah, for taking care of Linda. You were an essential part of our family. Although you will be missed, it’s time for you to be reconnected with Sophie, your foster mom. We love you!
