We only had 4 months with you but you were our life and we miss you deeply. Now my little bunny is at rest I know that he will be watching over us.

The most loving girl I have ever known, you trusted me so much you had your kittens in my bed under the blankets while I slept. I betrayed your trust when I sent them away with people you didn't know, but you kept loving me. I broke your heart by moving out of our room to change the floor coverings while you stayed behind on a shelf. You never stopped loving me. I never stopped loving you either and you broke my heart when you died. We all miss you so much..

You came to me a couple hours old. I took you in with joy to raise you to grow up and be happy. You loved to play with your brother and sisters. You purred all the time, licked my face and rubbed your head on mine. You ran to me when ever I called your name. You did everything with me. You even came to work and grandma's house every day. You meant the world to me. Then you started to sleep all the time. You weren't gaining weight. You stopped playing with your friends. I knew something wasn't right, but I fear that I waited too long. I took you to my new Veterinary job, and had the doctor give you an exam. I knew it was bad when she called another doctor in. They had found a mass. We did x-rays, ultra sounds, exploratory surgery, IV's, meds, but the news kept getting worse. You didn't want to eat anymore and your temperature was like a yo-yo. You still purred and kissed. I thought 9 months, it wasn't fair. I knew I couldn't let my baby suffer any longer. I made the hardest decision of my life and I miss you terribly. I will always remember you Averee. Your are mommies little girl. We will meet again and be able to rub each other.

My little princess, petite as she was, she could hold her own with the boys, and she will remain in our hearts forever.

Dear little Dizzy. A sweet and dear friend. Missed more than words can say.

You spent your first year and a half of life forgotten in a cage at a pet store next to my work at an Animal Hospital. I wanted you at 6 months old but they thought you being such a beautiful female marble Bengal they'd breed you. Well to my horror a year later when they were going out of business and needed us to put the word out to our clients they had 13 pedigree cats up for adoption. There you were at the very top huddled in some newspaper, peering down at me with those haunting green eyes. I was saddened by the fact when I held you, you were only 4 1/2 pounds and in those eyes I knew you had seen nothing but sadness. My boss tested you immediately for the virus's before I could take you home to my other to babies. Well while I was introducing you to the comfort of my son's lion king quilt, kisses, hugs, food, toys, and my heart the lab was telling me you had FIP. I was devastated to know this special girl could never come home to know my other two babies, learn to play and fell the sunshine on her face EVER. At that point I was determined to use my medical and emotional resources to make whatever time she had in this world the most special I could. Medically there was no solution but emotionally you blossomed. As long as you had your "lion king blankie" on the shelf in my office you were happy. We had 4 months of hugs, kisses and special conversations that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. Those haunting green eyes were now filled with love. We managed to share our love for 4 months before I noticed the fluid building up in your belly. I hope you understood in that last conversation we had that awful Saturday, I had to hold you while you purred and went to Rainbow Bridge, that I loved you with all my heart and I had to let you go before this awful disease made you suffer. It was the hardest thing I had to ever do...

Oscar was too good to be true. He came into our lives, made us happy, gave us great times and loved us as much as we loved him. He would sit on our laps and play games all day, he followed us all around, never liking to be on his own. Nothing could have prepared us for the way he was taken away from us. We will miss him so much - we had dreams of him being our family cat in 10 or more years time, and instead he didn't even make it to his first birthday. Words cannot describe how we are feeling right now. He will always be our little star and we'll always have treasured memories of him and the amount of joy he gave us in his short life.

In Loving Memory of my dear baby boy kitten, "Mr. Binxy"

Although our time together was brief,
I now find myself in grief.
From the very start,
I loved my Ragdoll with all my heart.
I may not understand
What God's plan was for my little man,
But I do know he's definitely
With a gentle and loving hand.

I will forever love you Binxy!

Baby Georgie,

We knew that you were having problems about 2 weeks after you came to live with us. You had a funny turn and then lost partial mobility of your back legs. From here it was a slow and steady downward spiral until FIP was diagnosed. We brought you home to care for you, but you got worse and worse so quickly we had to decide to stop your pain and let your soul free from your troubled body. We miss you more than words can say baby and can't believe we have lost another beloved kitten to this wretched virus. Fingers crossed, your brother Dex wont go the same way.

Baby spirit run free until we see you again on the other side.

Love Lucy, Steve and Dexter x

Gracie was our baby. She was the sweetest Burmese girl in the world and loved so much to be held and to cuddle and purr with us. She was our cat Misha's best friend and they loved each other like mother and daughter. Through force feedings and other supportive care we were able to bless her with 7 extra quality months on this earth. She is now waiting for us in heaven, free from suffering able to eat and play and be the kitty she was meant to be. We miss her so much!
