IN LOVING MEMORY
OF MY DEAR CAT
MISSY

I don’t know how to say good-bye; it’s something I’ve not been taught; I don’t know how to say good-bye because your’re in my heart. So dear and caring so loving and sweet you loved me always no strings attached. That’s why you have my heart. The house is so quiet and empty. It’s almost more than I can bear. I miss how you talked your purr your little ways. I miss the joy you gave me. I’ll miss you every day. You’ll never know how people cared the many lives you touched.

All you asked was to be loved and to be given a tender touch. I don’t know how to say good-bye I guess I never will. I just know that I miss you. My heart is very sad but I believe you’re looking down on me until my time has come for me to be with you forever in God’s eternal land. I will forever love and miss you
my dear Missy cat.

How I miss you my precious little boy. Through your eyes I was the world. Through my eyes you where the best dog ever. I miss you so. I only wish I had acted sooner to get you out of the hands of your abusers. How it pained me to see how they had treated you. The scars on your back didn’t lie. I wish I had asked for you sooner. Then maybe I would have been able to save you my precious boy.

You know I loved you and I’ve never met a dog who had more love to give then you. You showed my how to love and you taught me so much. My heart aches to think of how someone could treat such a dog in such a horrible manner. What makes me even sadder is the fact that you weren’t alone. There are so many other dogs cats and other animals that are doomed to the same fate as you. Do people have no hearts? What’s become of this world? At least there are a few good people left but I worry about the people like your former owners.

I hope they never get another dog. I miss you so much Taz. 4 months wasn’t any where near long enough to be with you. I miss you daily. I’ll be waiting for the day we can be together forever again. Then we will never be separated again. I miss you my precious boy.

The days are long
without you.

Lydia

There was never a dog who had more love in her heart. We will miss you forever. Thank you for being the waggingest lovingest most loyal dog we’ve ever known.

Charlie & Gracie

Jake came into my life when he was 6 months old. The day I went to look at him he was running around on the floor and every time he passed me he jumped up on my lap and gave me a kiss. I knew that he was comming home with me. I never regretted that decision. Jake was my best friend and my constant companion. He was with me through many trying times and he taught me all about unconditional love.

Jake could make even the toughest soul smile. He loved nothing more than to jump up on your lap and give kisses. He was truly my angel and everyone who met him loved him. Jake was 14 years old and he suffered from severe arthritis. On Tuesday 5/21/02 Jake’s legs gave out and he couldn’t walk anymore. As I held him at the Vet’s office I knew that he was ready to go home. He was in pain and tired of fighting it.

The vet agreed that it was the right thing to do so as I held him we let him go to sleep. I know that he is somewhere running and playing like he loved to do and I know that he will be with us in our hearts
until we all meet again.

We love you
Jakey-face and we know
we’ll see you again someday!!

SheÆs GodÆs Cat Now

ItÆs 5:00 am and IÆm up again trying to cope with the silence. GracieÆs gone you see; all 22 pounds of my beautiful Maine Coon type girl with long fur and big green eyes the size of quarters and a purr that could rival any mountain lion. Oh I have other babies seven more in fact but itÆs funny because each little spirit is unique and
cannot be replaced.

Oh the silence. You could hear Gracie purr from one room to another and now I canÆt hear it anymore. She was only 9 years old and her birthday was May 15th and I had to let her go on May 17th. Not a happy day. It was cancer we think and for a week we were fighting. Went to the emergency vet last Sunday because she was having trouble breathing. They stabilized her over night and then each day we went to the vet to treat her multiple and serious symptoms. DidnÆt know it was cancer then and each day she seemed to get better. On Thursday she was doing so well that I thanked God that this would pass but on Friday she had another horrible respiratory episode and I called the vet. I told myself if she had another that I would make the appointment. As you can tell she did have another so I made the appointment for 4:00. Between noon and 4:00 she was struggling so that I drove 70 miles an hour to get her there.

I spent another 20 minutes with her there until I couldnÆt bear her pain any longer. They sedated her and I sang “Amazing Grace” to her and talked to her and told her how much Daddy and I loved her and how much her brothers and sisters loved her too. Then in 3 minutes she was gone.

A catÆs eyes donÆt close at death so she looked like she was still there. I stayed another 45 minutes as I just couldnÆt leave her. It was one of the hardest things IÆve ever had to do.

IÆm alone here in a new state as my husband is with the Coast Guard. My pets are my children and my baby is gone now. Friends and people are nice but no one but an “animal nut” can understand.

IÆm so lucky to have had her. She was an FIP kitten and survived though every vet in the phone book in Florida said it was hopeless. ThatÆs when I found a wonderful holistic vet who saved her and gave me another 7 years with my darling girl. She was so sick then that the vet actually wrote a paper to present to his society on Gracie the miracle cat.

So I must go on now. I bought an angel statue for the garden and finally had the energy today to buy some flowers and a plant to grow and care for in her honor. She will come back to me this week in a nice redwood box with my chosen inscription. IÆve made a picture memorial
with candles also.

I went to see Sister Mary Anthony today at the Visitation Monastery which is an order of cloistered nuns. She is so beautiful and her eyes are alive with the spirit of God. She asked me if I thought God loved me and if he loved Gracie. She then told me to pray and place Gracie in my hands and hold her up to God and ask him to take her. We did that together and I gave Gracie to God today. I know sheÆs playing in heaven now; pain free and happy.

But for me still
itÆs the silence
that I find hard to bear.

I love you Gracie.

Sweet little Anna
our darling girl “daughter cat”…
You were born in our dining room and spent your entire life too short of a year in our apartment. I remember when you would play fetch with Alan with your string and wake us up early in the morning for head butts and petting. When you got sick with FIV we did all we could for you and so did the vet but in the end we knew you were suffering and in terrible pain and we had to make a decision. The vet said it was time Anna and we couldn’t bear to see you suffer anymore. It was so painful and I hope you understand why we did it.

I hope you can forgive us. We stayed with you even as you drew your last breath there in the vet’s office and I held your head and told you we loved you. I hope you heard… I still visit the place in the yard with the white porcelain angel where we laid you to rest. We love you so much and we will never forget you. I hope we will see you again someday

little angel.

SAKURA {Cherry Blossom}

Sakura you were my precious Fur Baby I hope you knew just how much you were loved and still are. Daddy and I tried so hard to save you but you were too sick and we had to let you go. I thought my heart would break We talk about you and light a special candle every day
next to your ashes.

When you first left I could only focus on the last part of your life but now I remember all the wonderful times we shared the fun we had on our walks and watching you and Daddy play hide and seek sometimes in the
middle of the night.

You had a great sense of humour-remember the mouse! I also remember how you would sit on the landing and tell guests it was getting late and that they should leave; sometimes you would take an instant dislike to people we thought you were being very naughty but in reality you were saying don’t be friends with these people they are not good for you and you know My Funny Face you were usually right.

You never could tolerate other cats but we are certain you sent Sapphire to us. She is so like you but she will never diminish the special love we have for you. I tell her about you all the time. She has been a blessing
and we thank you.

Please wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge and if Sapphire arrives before us take care of her until we can be all be together.

We love you Sakura

ANDRE DAWSON HEISLER
May 11 1987 – May 20 2002

My little gentleman dressed in his tux died Monday night at 8:30 p.m. He will be missed by all who knew him. Dawson was a classy cat always immaculately dressed in black tie and tails. He was a feline who loved people. There are those who are convinced that he thought he was a person. Named after a Chicago Cub from the 80’s Dawson (few presumed to call him Andre) loved to play ball.

His joy was to find someone who would throw a ball to him so that he could bat it with his paw. He sometimes stopped the game by catching the ball in both his paws (and why not? he was named after an outfielder) and the few times he missed it he would bring it back for you to throw again (if he felt like it). Not having anyone to throw the ball to him did not stop him from having fun however; he would toss the ball into the air all by himself and chase after it for hours on end.

Dawson was born at the Lake Shore Animal Hospital and the Shelter staff named the litter after various Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds? one vet was from Ohio. When I met Dawson he was 7 months old. The only one of the litter that had not yet been adopted. He literally reached through the cage bars and tapped me on the shoulder and when I opened the cage he put both his paws around my neck and gave me a hug. I could not resist him and asked if I could adopt him even though it was not a day on which they usually did adoptions.

I think they were delighted that someone wanted him because his cage was usually turned topsy-turvy. My friends at the Shelter told me later that they feared for my apartment when he was let loose in it. But Dawson was always very neat. His only bad habit was occasionally taking his food daintily out of the dish and eating it from the floor–and usually leaving a little residue. But it was such a small price to pay for his priceless company.

Does anyone else know a cat that loves to be hugged? Not lightly but as tightly as possible. He hinted regularly that he wanted to be hugged by flopping himself against your chest. And if you were reading or at the keyboard trying to work he would back up to you until just his hind quarters were resting against your leg waiting for an opening to fling himself against you. So one forgave the occasional shoelace that not so mysteriously broke after having been chewed through and the numerous phone cords that had to be replaced. Even an occasional sneeze in your face would be forgiven although in his later years I’m convinced that he learned to purposely turn his face away from you when he sneezed.

He will be especially missed by his best friend and roommate Angie. The apartment seems very empty tonight. There was no one waiting by the door telling her she is very late and he is very hungry. The sofa is cold and unwelcoming without him to warm the cushions and her lap. And the bed will be a less comforting place to sleep without his warm little body lying against her. She will even miss being awakened at 5:00 a.m. to feed him. He could be very persistent—and loud. How long has it been now that she hasn’t needed an alarm clock?

Wait for me Dawson
by the Rainbow Bridge.

When I first looked at you when you were just a scruffy NYC rescued kitty you decided to be the first to show initiative and poked your arm out of the cage as if to say “Hi my name is Buster & I sense that we need each other & you probably will make a good mommy. You were more than a pet to me you were my child best friend confidant hero family you were my everything.

Within our short time together we developed a strong close bond. I’ll always cherish the funny times we had together. Especially when you felt you were in competition with my laptop computer and would tap my lap or attempt to bite my laptop to signal me to move my laptop so you could play
the “lap kitty”.

I am sorry that you developed Idiopathic Feline Chylothorax. I am sorry that your quality of life was diminished by this horrible disease. As a commitment to your memory & other animals who have succumbed to this disease I will be committed to increasing research to overcome this disease. I know that you are in a better place heaven. I know that someday we will be together again. I hope that you are smiling down on me and will help me heal. Because you know me so well you know that I am having an extremely difficult time going on without you.

I love you so much and I will alway cherish the memories we shared. I will never forget you and you can never be replaced.

Your Mommy

Veronica

You were the best cat.
It’s a tragedy
that you died in the fire.
Now we grieve and always will.
We love you so much!
The times we spent together…

Love you always

Whitney

Aussigirl I still think of you often and wish you were here with me so much has changed I really could use some formular surroundings to brighten up my day. You were my best friend and I’m sorry I couldn’t be with you on your last minutes with us.

It still hurts terribly to think of you. I haven’t opened this sight until now only because your friend Rude past away just as you did and for all the same reasons. Hope the two of you are running around pain free and having fun.

I truly miss you my friend.

Shontom

you lighted up our life. You are the best tabby in the world. That’s what we think. You were 22 you had to go to Rainbow Bridge. Shontom died because of him being 22 he couldn’t walk or run too fast. He was too old. He went so slow that when I was at the store he was hit by a car. I found his body there and put him in a grave. Madam Troublinski the mystic cat made a memorial page for Shontom. She also made him a dreambook there that you can sign.

Just go to http://themysticcat.tripod.com/shontom.html

Please pray for Shontom. We miss him very much.

Mom & Dad

Josie came to us as a stray little black ball of fur. Our 13 year old Simease “Sinbad” heard her cries and led us to her. She stole my heart from that moment on. She came at a time in our life when there was a void that needed to be filled. I’ve had lots of pets through the years but never have I came across one like Josie. She loved life so much. She always brought a smile to anyone who came
in contact with her.

She loved outdoors climbing trees chasing butterflies chipmunks bugs children and me. She never got very big which made her even more adorable. She followed me everywhere in the house. When I would take a bath she would sit on the edge of the tub and
watch the water splash.

She always slept with me at night and would lay her head in my hand and snuggle. The neighbors even adored her when she would go and visit them. But a few nights ago there was a knock at our door and one of the neighbors brought some heart wrenching news. She recognized Josie’s green collar as she lay in the middle of the road in a puddle of blood. Someone had hit her and sped away never even stopping. Josie never had a chance. We gave her a proper burial in her favorite flower bed and said a prayer over her. We now have a cross in the spot where she lays as a remembrance. I miss her terribly. I have cried and cried.

I see her everywhere I look. I find myself not wanting to go home because I always looked forward to seeing her greet me there. I wanted to do this tribute for her because she brought so much joy to our lives.

She literally did light up my life and I will never ever forget her as long as I live. I pray that she is in kitty heaven and that
she is protected and happy.

We love you,Josie.

Our Dearest Cheyenne

We don’t even know where to begin baby. You were taken from us so soon and so suddenly. I am so sorry baby that we couldn’t protect you better or save you. Your blue eyes gave us so much love in your short little life. You filled our hearts so much in the short time you were here on earth. But I know that you are in heaven and you are with my little baby I lost and you are being her loving pet.

My two precious little babies ripped from me so soon. Kiana misses her kitty kitty. We always told her you were a puppy but to her two year old little mind you were a kitty kitty since we already had a puppup. You never minded being a kitty kitty or being squeezed and hugged all the time. I miss my little angel sitting with me on the computer or taking a nap with Kiana and I.

Kevin is so sad without you he tried to save you and he held you as you took your last few breaths. He loved you so. Kiera cried for you and she doesn’t know what to do without your beautiful blue eyes staring at her and
looking for some love.

Kasey he is so angry about losing you he misses cleaning your cage already (you know how much everyone hated that). Your dad doesn’t even know yet and I don’t even know how to tell him. Cheyenne you will always be our angel. Please forgive us for not protecting you better and not being able to save us and please please never forget our love for you as we will never forget your love for us. You will always be our precious baby and
we love you so much.

We picked the song through the eyes of love because you gave us so much love through those beautiful blue eyes. I am sorry baby girl I am so sorry. I love you as the rest of the family does too. Rocko he is so lost without by his side. Your little surrogate mother even though he was a boy. He stares outside looking for you baby. He misses his little sister. He lays in your crate waiting for you. Please tell him it is okay to go on without you.

I am afraid he is going to grieve himself to death. Cheyenne I am so sorry my little angel please forgive mommy. I love you; Kevin loves you; Kiera loves you; Kasey loves you; Kiana Loves you; Daddy loves you and most of all Rocko loves you.

Bye my precious baby. Sleep tight and know you will never be hurt again. We will see you again someday soon and know there is plenty of family there in heaven to care for you and tell my little Kendra hello and I love her and that you are there to take care of her until her mommy can get there to both of you.

You will always be
in our hearts.
Cheyenne you were
the best little angel girl
in the world.

The Hartman Family

Cherry Mary Muffin Girl Donatello ..

She was such an awesome cat. She would always come and make me happy if I was sad and I regret that as I have gotten older. I have not made as much time for her. She always waited at the top of the stairs for me in the basement and when I was little she would play house with me ..

As I sat in the playroom on cold nights she would sit on my feet and keep me warm. I miss her terribly much and my “astro cat” is now among the stars in heaven. I know I will see her again but it hurts right now
but she is with me always.
I just hope she knows
I am with her.

I love you muffin.

Words cannot express the love and happiness you brought to our family. I watched you fight this cancer with grace and dignity. I thank God we had the opportunity to help you achieve 5 months of remission. We cherished every extra day that we had you with us. I know now that you are in a better place running playing and chasing squirrels. We will meet again my dear loyal friend. Until then you know
you are always in my heart.

Love

To my sweet little Twinkle
Thanks for the love
you brought into my life.
I will miss you forever.
