This is a special place to remember and honor our departed but still beloved kitty companions. We owe so much to the animals who loved us without question. And while words can't begin to express the thanks we feel for their love, there is comfort in trying. We are honored to afford the opportunity to express our thanks and never-ending love on these pages. If you would like to remember a special loved one here,email us with your request. For visitors who don't have loved ones posted here, we know you'll find at least one kitty who will strike a note of recognition in your heart for a kitty you remember, too. |

Darling Sophie Rhys, first rescued as a tiny kitten, adopted by her doting mom, Jenny, who named her after Prince Edward's wife (she was born around the time of that Royal wedding), returned to us with heavy hearts at 12 by her loving mom and dad due to their toddler's agonizingly itchy skin allergy and embraced and adored by her foster parents, Ann and Ergun, for almost 14 months. You left us on November 6, 2012, so much sooner than we ever planned, precious girl. You truly were the world's best cat!
Meli and Nyssa--together forever . . . We received the sad news that darling Nyssa (the solid white kitty in the collage) crossed the Rainbow Bridge on October 22, 2012. She was in the comforting presence of her mom, Sylvia, and, her "auntie" and her"uncle" when Dr. Laura Fontana of Home Veterinary Care came to help Nyssa. Sylvia writes: "After we said our goodbye to Nyssa, I wrapped my arms around her and talked to her as the sedative was administered and, when the lethal injection was administered into the sedative, she was gone in a nanosecond. I, of course, am still crying like a baby, and my office looks so strange without the litter boxes" Nyssa joins her beloved Meli at the Rainbow Bridge. We know they are watching out for the mom and sending her purrs and love. (Please see Sylvia's lovely updates on Nyssa on our Happy Tales page.)
MY MELI -- January 1990 to July 17, 2006. Sweet dreams Meli Mou. When you were created, they threw away the mold. Sixteen years together was not enough, but I knew you had to go on your journey. I miss your head on the pillow next to me when we slept; you steadfastly at my side after my surgeries, protecting me... not getting up until I did, and following me wherever I went in the house - including watching me in the shower until you knew I was safely out and drying off. Nyssa keeps going into the closet looking for you and calling for you. I know she remembers all of us saying our last goodbye's to you, as you gently began your crossing of the Rainbow Bridge. Nyssa still calls for you daily. I know you have your feta cheese, peanut butter, and menthol cough drops on the other side of the Bridge. We know you are watching over us until we are all together again. We love you and miss you. Sylvia and Nyssa
Officially rescued on the 4th of July 2007 at a highway rest stop, Morrison went to the Rainbow Bridge on August 25, 2012. In foster care for just over 5 years, our stunningly handsome tuxedo-clad boy proved to be as sweet as he seemed at the rest stop. He loved affection of all kinds and l-o-o-ved to be combed and brushed. And he LOVED to play! That proved to be a very good thing. We noticed that Morrison was panting heavily after especially vigorous games of feather chase. It turned out that Morrison had a heart condition. His health issues kept him from being adopted, but thanks to the devoted, tender loving care of his foster parents--the owners of Turkey Foot Animal Clinic--Morrison never knew that he didn't have an official home.
