Stradtner, 72, saved stray pets
NEW YORK: Gloria Marie De Martini Stradtner was most often spotted late at night in huge cemeteries in Brooklyn and Queens.
She was there on the hottest summer night when New Yorkers without air-conditioners couldn't sleep, and she was there when the temperature was below zero and the snow was hip-deep and nobody was awake.
Amid the polished marble sentries guarding the dead of a great city, Stradtner looked only for life.
Stradtner, who died on Dec. 22 at the age of 72, looked for stray animals. She looked for the thousands of dogs and cats abandoned every year by people who, having tired of their pets, thought not of bringing them to an animal shelter but of leaving them in a cemetery.
Humans may think of cemeteries as woodland-like sanctuaries. But for animals, they are only places to starve to death in the wild.
But Gloria -- as everyone called her -- was determined that this was not to be. Not for her strays.
And so for 50 years or maybe more (nobody can remember when she did not make the rounds of the graveyards at night), she would go forth, lugging large bags of dog food and cat food and traps of the type that cannot hurt animals. She would bait these traps and go back to her car and wait. In an hour or so, she would return to her traps. Sometimes, she would entrap a dozen animals or more in a night, her prisoners of love. And then she would feed them.
Stradtner never had much money, so to supplement the dog and cat food she bought with her Social Security money, she would take jobs working in catering halls, even when she was getting on in years. That allowed her to scoop up the scraps and bring them to her strays.
After she fed them, she would spend the next day making the rounds of veterinarians, imploring their help to neuter the dogs and cats (they usually charged her reduced fees). And then she would visit the shelters, asking them to take in and care for the abandoned pets.
``I would estimate she saved thousands of animals,'' said Jeanne Toomey, who runs the Last Post Animal Sanctuary in Litchfield County, Conn., near the Massachusetts line. ``She was wonderful. She'd name dogs and cats in the Cemetery, and she'd bring them up here. Nobody could refuse her.''
Stradtner visited animal sanctuaries in Long Island, upstate New York and New Jersey, and nobody refused her in those places, either.
Less than two months ago, Stradtner was diagnosed with cancer. At her funeral on Saturday, a poem she was believed to have recently written was read.
It was titled "Weep Not" and began this way:

Do not weep for me when I am gone
For I have friends in the great beyond.
All the little ones I used to feed
Will come to me in my time of need.
They will purr and bark in great delight
And I will hold and hug them tight.
Oh what a great day that will be
When my furry friends all welcome me.
