In Memory Of

Rainbow Bridge

 Losing a pet is the hardest thing in the world. For many they are not just pets, but family members. We are sorry for your loss. 

Rainbow Bridge- In Memory of

Freddy

  

"May you Rest In Peace over the Rainbow Bridge and know that you were loved and are forever missed by your Daddy Dan, Daddy Mike and Uncle Alan.  We loved you and miss you every day. We will never know what happened  but you were very special to us and will always be fondly remembered.  Freddy, you have joined my Patches  as having been very special to me, and I think of both of  you every day.  

Love Uncle Alan

PS--And Yes, I know that I was #3 in your big brown eyes after Daddy Dan and Daddy Mike, but that was okay with me."

Mouse

Jake & Zoie

Jake & Zoie

 

This was Mouse. He was adopted in Mid January of 2017 at the age of 6. He was constantly licking and crawling into the laps of anyone.
We had originally went to dessin in search for a cat that would help bring happiness back into the life of our current cat whom had gone through extension surgeries to survive a Urinary Blockage that had happened that previous November. I remember walking around the "cat room" at Dessin when I had turned around to see a very large cat who was standing on a shelf just inches away from my face. He let me pick him up and I immediately knew he was the perfect match. When I had found out he was a senior cat, I knew that not only did our current fur baby need someone, but Mouse did too. He lived the rest of his life in the home of a loving family where he was spoiled each and every day.
In early August of this past year, Our Mouse was held and comforted during euthanization after sadly developing an expected Urinary Blockage. And although we only spent a few short months with him, we fell in love with him and all his little corks. We still hold back tears thinking of him. He is missed each and every passing day. <3

Rainbow Bridge- In Memory of

Mox

 This is Mox. I found him one day walking down the street. He walked right up to me and began following me. I've always wanted a white cat and he just kept following me and meowing so I decided to take him home with me. From that day on, he was my best buddy! It was just him and I for a long time. I realized quickly that I didn't choose him, he chose me. I had him for 13 wonderful years, until one day he became very sick and lethargic. It went on for about a week. I prayed with all my heart that he would go peacefully in his sleep. Every day I was convinced it was his last, but every day he was still here. It finally got to the point where I had to make the decision to put him down. NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS did I think I'd have the strength to do it, but I knew I had to help him. I knew I had to let him go so that he could finally have peace. I miss him every day. I always will. It's been 3 years. I still miss him just as much. 

Rosie

 Rosie was adopted from Dessin. She was in terrible shape. She was estimated to be 10 years old and was deaf. She passed away a little over a year after we got her on June 29, 2017. We gave her the best year she probably has had in her rough life and we miss her so much.
 

 I only got to spend a short 7 yrs with this little man... he was diagnosed with epilepsy very early on... but that didn’t stop him from being an absolute lover of life!
