  17. I am sorry for your loss; my own tuxedo Wylder died of cancer last year at the age of 9. He liked looking at Stan’s exploits on Facebook, and we avidly followed him too.

    Stan affected real change and I know the world is a better place because he was in it. 🙂 Godspeed, little guy.

  21. As someone else quoted on the Tuxedo Party page, from Doctor Who, “This song is ending, but the story never ends.” We are so saddened by the loss of Stan, but so grateful for all he achieved in his short life. We know Earl Grey will be a dedicated and diligent leader of the Tuxedo Party, and we will work with him. jodi and the fur kids: Loki, Mungus, Doodle and Tiny Timbit. And of course, Minion Doctor.

  22. Such terrible news! It is amazing how much public attention he brought to the feline over population issue. He has served his species well. He has done more with his life than many people have. He was a very special kitty and from what I’ve seen he had a very luxurious lifestyle. I hope you can take some comfort in knowing how how much of an impact he has had on humans and cats alike. Also that you have given him and his brother the best home they could hope for. I wish Earl the best in continuing the campaign and am very sorry for your loss.
