I would love to share with you photos &
memories of
our wonderful kitties that have gone to
Rainbow Bridge...
I miss them dearly and this just seems to
help.
Chloe - Our Ragdoll & The Most
Wonderful Friend
(August 28, 2003 - March 05,
2010)
Chloe in 2008
I'm so sad to announce that my
sweet Chloe has passed away on March 05, 2010. Chloe was the most
wonderful friend a girl could ever have and I miss her so much, as well as the
rest of my family. She came to us several years ago when she was rescued
from a cattery who mistreated their cats. I was told of how Chloe was kept
in a very small cage, her bad condition, but also how sweet she was. My
heart broke, so I just had to try to help. When I first saw her in the
carrier she was in, she was very shy and was hunched in the corner. I
reached in and petted her head to let her know everything would be okay. I
think she understood because she immediately stood up and wanted to come to me,
she had a very happy glimmer in her eyes. I took Chloe to the vet soon
after, the only problems she had were extremely matted fur, both of her eyes had
severe infections, and she was underweight - all of which could be fixed.
Her
safe haven for the next several weeks was underneath my bed, but giving her lots
of love and attention helped her Ragdoll personality to shine and becoming very trusting. She played with
our kitty toys like she's never played before. We also gave her a new name
for her new life with us. I'm sure that those who have met Chloe would've
never guessed this about her background, especially since she loved greeting
people and rolling on her back so you could rub her. She barely left my
side and would always make me smile... we became the best of friends. I
will miss her pawing at me so I could pet her. It angers me that someone
could mistreat such a sweet girl... they have no idea on what they missed out
on. Chloe also gave us the prettiest kittens and was a wonderful mother
and friend to all my other cats and kittens... she would never hurt a fly.
Unfortunately, she had complications from giving birth to her last litter and
was taken to our emergency vet. In short, everyone did all they knew
possible to save Chloe, but it was all too much for her body to handle, so she
ended up passing away. What really hurts is that I planned on getting
Chloe spayed after her last litter (I've even told some people this), and
letting her retire and spend the rest of her life with us. I so wished
that I did that sooner because my Chloe would still be here today. But,
I'm glad to have spent the time I had with her and that she left this world
knowing that she was very loved.
Chloe, you were a dear friend and I
miss you already very much. I'm so happy to have Dakota and Shelby as reminders of
how sweet and beautiful her mother is. You were truly a special kitty and
I will never forget you and the memories we shared. Our time together was
cut short, but I have peace knowing that you will continue to get much love and
happiness at Rainbow Bridge. You were such a doll and I love you very
much. Rest in peace my Chloe.
Mister Mann - Our Beloved Persian
(April 13, 1995 - November 22,
2008)
Mr. Mann in 2007
It hurts my heart to say that
Mister Mann, our 13-year-old Persian, has passed away a few months after his best buddy Tidbit.
I know they are chasing squirrels together in kitty heaven right now.
Mister Mann was losing weight extremely fast, so we took him to the vet who
told us that he was having kidney failure and was certainly in pain.
He gave Mister Mann only one or two more days left to live and said the pain
would get worse. So, we made the decision to end his suffering that
day even though we wanted so much to not let him go.
Mister Mann, it is so hard to
let you go, you were my very first kitty and you are so special to me.
It hurts so much that you're not here with us, but I
know you're in a better place now where you will have no more pain.
You will always be in my heart and I will never, ever
forget you. Thank you for all the wonderful memories and years you
gave me... we will be together again at the Rainbow Bridge someday.
Enjoy chasing squirrels and butterflies with Tidbit, my sweetheart... I love you.
Tidbit
- Our
Other
Beloved
Persian
(May 23,
1998
- July
23,
2008)
Tidbit
in
2007
Tidbit
was a
very
special
kitty to
all of
us and
will
always
be
cherished.
He was our
10-year-old
Persian
who
lived a
long and
happy
life
until he
had a
stroke
and went
to the
Rainbow
Bridge
on July
23, 2008.
He was
also
diagnosed
with
cancer
in the
same
week.
Our vet
said he
could
try to
save him
from the
stroke,
but gave
him a
less
than 5%
chance
of
living
and
having a
normal
life.
So, no
matter
how much
we
wanted
to be
selfish
and keep
him here
with us, we
decided
it was
best
to have
our
Tidbit
put to
sleep.
The vet
said the
stroke
was
probably
God's
way of
protecting
him from
suffering
through
the
cancer
he
would've
succumbed
to.
This had
to be
the
worst
week
ever...
I love
you,
Tidbit,
you will
always
be in
our
hearts.
I will
miss all
your
loving
and
silly
little
ways,
crawling
under
the
blanket
with me
while
I'm
sleeping,
and most
of
all...
kissing
your
cute
little
face. When you
left me,
you took
a piece
of my
heart
with
you. Someday
we will
cross
the
Rainbow
Bridge
together
and I'll
be able
to hold
you
again.
Until
then,
you will
be
forever
missed,
rest in
peace my
baby.
Don't
forget your
mommy
loves
you so
very
much.
Rainbow Bridge
Just
this
side of
heaven
is a
place
called
Rainbow
Bridge.
When an
animal
dies
that has
been
especially
close to
someone
here,
that pet
goes to
Rainbow
Bridge.
There
are
meadows
and
hills
for all
of our
special
friends
so they
can run
and play
together.
There is
plenty
of food,
water
and
sunshine,
and our
friends
are warm
and
comfortable.
All the
animals
who had
been ill
and old
are
restored
to
health
and
vigor.
Those
who were
hurt or
maimed
are made
whole
and
strong
again,
just as
we
remember
them in
our
dreams
of days
and
times
gone by.
The
animals
are
happy
and
content,
except
for one
small
thing;
they
each
miss
someone
very
special
to them,
who had
to be
left
behind.
They all
run and
play
together,
but the
day
comes
when one
suddenly
stops
and
looks
into the
distance.
His
bright
eyes are
intent.
His
eager
body
quivers.
Suddenly
he
begins
to run
from the
group,
flying
over the
green
grass,
his legs
carrying
him
faster
and
faster.
You have
been
spotted,
and when
you and
your
special
friend
finally
meet,
you
cling
together
in
joyous
reunion,
never to
be
parted
again.
The
happy
kisses
rain
upon
your
face;
your
hands
again
caress
the
beloved
head,
and you
look
once
more
into the
trusting
eyes of
your
pet, so
long
gone
from
your
life but
never
absent
from
your
heart.
Then you
cross
Rainbow
Bridge
together....
