"A tool in your hands I am dear God, the sweetest instrument you have shaped my being into. What makes me now complete - feeling the soul of every creature against my heart. Does every creature have a soul? Surely they do; for everything God has touched will have life forever. And all creatures he has held." - St. Francis of Assisi
This space is dedicated to all of the cats and kittens that we have come in contact with who have sadly crossed the rainbow bridge. We remember them fondly as they were, for the inspirations and countless joy they brought into our lives in their time here on earth.
Buddy - March of 2003 - So fragile was your life, but so much love you had to offer. We loved to watch you cuddle for warmth with your siblings, and we were fascinated with researching more ways to help all of you. We knew so little in comparison to what we know now, and we hope to continue learning with your inspiration. Thank you for being a true muse.
Lil' One (Savannah kitten) - April of 2006 - Though we never met you face to face, we knew the pain you had endured. And through all that, you fought until you could no longer hold out for peace. Surely you felt thankful for the good samaritan who offered you her countless efforts, taking you to several veterinarians, willing to pay for all of your care, praying for you day and night and hoping you would reach us safely. We remember your struggle, if not your face, and we strive to ensure better for other cats in your honor.
Chip - May of 2006 - If only we could have done better by you. If only we had been able to coax you to us sooner. Whatever it was that had hurt you was ignorant to the love you held in your heart until your last moments with us. We are grateful for having known you, even so briefly, and having been able to help put you out of your pain.
Sakura - June of 2006 - You were such a beautiful young kitten. Although we never found out why you stopped growing at such a young age, or why exactly you passed on, we miss your loving purrs of contentment. Even at our most difficult times, you showed us time and time again how to keep fighting for what we believe in. We are so very happy we were able to show you love in your short life, and we know that you watch over us in what we do, safe and free now from the world's worries.
Midnight - July of 2006 - Shy at first, but as you came to know us, you grew closer each day. You were a tiny, soft kitten, but you had so much of a personality that was blooming. Suddenly one day, your mind failed you, but we still held on to the hope of helping you. We hope we were able to show you how much you're loved.
Dexter - July of 2006 - Tribute coming soon!
Cheyenne - August of 2006 - Such a spunky young lady, with nothing but a love for life. You were surely a sister to Midnight, as I called you her twin. I worried that you would not endure such problems, but after a couple of weeks with no signs, I let my guard down. I loved watching you romp around the room and tackle Aspen, Sedona, Rubic, Egypt, anyone you could! You were always the first to greet me, and we miss you terribly. We are comforted in hoping that you are at peace now, playing happily and looking over us.
Oliver - September of 2006 - You were a wonderful friend in your time with us. May you rest in peace.
Butterfly - September of 2006 - Soft and delicate you were, and though we tried our best, our only hope was to let you be free of the pain you had endured. We are sorry we had not found you sooner. We hope you were able to know love at least once in your life.
Tiger - October of 2006 - Fragile yet playful, you were a joyous kitten. Although we spent many sleepless hours by your side, we were always happy to be near you.
Pippen, beloved friend of David's - (b. 1985 - d. 2002) - Born a Michigan barn cat in 1985, moved to Illinois, New York State and finally settled in Georgia. His devoted human decided to follow. Kept his human's homes clean of mice and insects his whole life. Thank you for being such a loyal friend and a great cat.
