Calista
1998-2005... We were the fortunate humans to be owned by our beautiful calico Calista Anne Stapleton, even if it was for such a short period of time. From the time we met her at her FFGW foster home in 1998, where she quickly climbed into Jesse's lap and purred away in happiness, to the day we said goodbye after a year-long battle with a brain tumor in March 2005, not a memory will be forgotten of our dear feline princess. We have numerous memories of everyday events, including her favorite hiding place under the kitchen rug, her sitting on the deck sunning herself, her love for all vegetables (especially corn-on-the-cob) and her ability to steal all the blankets from us while we slept at night. Although we miss her dearly, we know in our hearts she is in a better, happier place, where she can enjoy all the good things of life that she deserves. Until we meet again, you are forever in our hearts and minds. Love, Laura, Jesse and Carrington

Fiona
1997-2005... Fiona was the second cat we adopted from the Feline Foundation. She was a kitten fostered by Judy Medina. We felt very honored to be able to adopt our little Fiona and to share our lives with her - even if only for eight years. Fiona was born missing half of the ribs on her right-side. Fiona didn't let this birth defect affect her. She was a very playful and affectionate cat. For reasons unknown, Fiona would only play with toys that were white. She loved nothing more than playing "fetch" with her white mice, golf tees and scraps of white paper. Fiona didn't think much of our other cats and commanded her own room. However, in the evenings, she loved nothing more than sharing a bed with her people - often sleeping between our pillows. Fiona passed away peacefully on June 13, 2005. We had only found out a few days before that Fiona had an aggressive and untreatable form of cancer. Although we are still a bit shell-shocked, we are thankful that she didn't have to suffer long. Until we meet again Fiona, love Laura & Regan.

Scooter
Everyone thought Scooter was younger than his (12) years because he was so playful. The only feature that changed as he matured was that he developed three white whiskers on the right side of his face. We found him to be the sweetest, cutest and cuddliest cat "who ever owned us!" He had a friendly disposition and especially liked the ladies. If you had bare feet all the better; however I had to be careful for Scooter would rub his face against freshly manicured toes. He made us laugh with his antics--as he preferred homemade toys to store bought. He was on the quiet side, hardly ever meowed and had a strong purr. When we couldn't find him we'd look in the bath tub where he could be found waiting patiently for someone to turn on a dripping faucet. Scooter loved his table treats: chicken, fish and tuna--at least he was a healthy eater! It is difficult to say any one thing that we will miss the most about him, losing a loved pet is like losing a loved human--it is their overall presence that will be missed. Allie & Chuck Bowling
