On Christmas day 2007, my Sammy left me after stuggling bravely with FIP for a whole month. He was born sometime in May 2007, and I adopted him in July. He was the most tender, purring, and loving little kitten, and my love for him grew as he grew. He spent his last night with me, purring, while I swallowed my tears and promised him, over and over, that I would never let him go. But I could not  keep my promise, and Sammy left.

I miss you terribly, Sammy; you will always be in my heart.

In every sense of the word Gulliver was and will always be an angel. As I fretted and cried over his condition, he stayed brave and always found a way to make me smile. He is still very much alive in my heart and remains the little angel that gets me to smile through times of tears.

Thank you "Lil' Mew". We love you

Precious was the most loving adorable cat ever. She was only with us for a short time, but our love for her will last a lifetime. We will miss her soo much!
 

My sweet Xavier. I am so sorry I had to let you go at such a young age of 11 months. You were such a sweet beautiful boy who brought so much happiness to my life. May you rest in peace and be a happy boy in heaven playing with your toy mousies! I will always love you and I will never forget you.

In honor of our beloved family member Hunter. Hunter was a Burmese born 8/26/07 and passed 7/02/2008 at the young age of 10 months from FIP.  We loved that little guy with all of our hearts and cannot wait for the day this devastating disease will have a cure.  Hunter will be with us always and missed dearly. 

Tyrone was the most beautiful and good natured cat. He was not with us for a long time but he changed our lives forever. Only the good die young. Bye Tyrone.

Love Brett and Bella.

Nhoquinho, my beloved baby, lived for only 7 months. He was, regardless of his health condition, a happy, sweet, and beautiful cat. He'd sleep with my mom almost every night, on top of her head on the pillow, and because of that cute habit of his, we called him "hat cat"!

We took care and loved him, every single day of his fragile little life, waking up in the middle of the night to feed and play with him, as well as comfort him while he was battleling this awful disease. Unfortunately he lost the battle. Now he's a beautiful little angel.

Elvis was and will always be the love of my life. He was adopted in 2006, and I loved him with all my heart from the very first moment I laid eyes on his picture in the adoption website.

He grew into a beautiful, smart, lovely, and amazing cat. Words could never describe him. I was lucky enough to spend almost two beautiful years with him.

All of the sudden, he got sick, and we did everything we could've possibly done to help him fight, get strong and well, but just like his little brother, he lost the battle. Elvis would've turned two years old in August 25, coincidentally, the day he died from FIP.

Losing our babies has broken our hearts. It's painful and difficult to accept that despite all efforts, they're both gone. Every time I close my eyes I can feel them in my heart.  I'm sure they're both little angels now and two of the brightest stars in the sky.

We did not give up on them not even for one second, and we would've done everything over and over again. I would gladly give some years of my life in order to have more time with them. No one could've possibly loved them like we did, and still do. They may not be here on Earth with us, years will pass and things will change, but the love will remain the same.

Our time with you was all too brief,
Happy memories we share rather than grief;

One day with you we will be,
God wanted you now ... He has set you free!

 

Special love to a very special boy!
Hilda and Family
