In Memory of Babygirl
7/12/2000 - 9/24/10
My Sweet Babygirl, Forever in my heart and just a precious thought away. The first kitten that I ever bottle fed 10 years ago (she was only hours old when she came into my life). I was the first person she opened her eyes to as a kitten and also the last person on this earth she saw when she closed her eyes. Goodnight sweet Babygirl, you are truly missed. See you at the bridge.
In Memory of Sassy
1992 - 10/25/10
Sweet Sassy, the first cat to enter my life. We chose to adopt YOU from the CB shelter and you have brought our family 14 years of great memories. Forever in my heart and just a precious thought away. You will truly be missed my sweet Sassy Mae.
See you at the bridge.
In Memory of Benji
My Dear Little Benji,
Mama loves you and misses you so much! She is so sad you are gone, but she hopes you are happy, comfortable and completely well in Heaven. You were such a handsome little guy, and so brave, loyal, dignified, loving and intelligent. I still see you tilting your head trying to listen and understand when I was chattering to you. You endured so much with that awful Cushing’s disease, and yet you were such a very, very good dog.
The house is so empty now without you and I miss hearing you squeaking your toys. I know you loved your squeaky toys so much, and they brought you happiness. I hope when you arrived at the Gates of Heaven that you were greeted by the Angels and they had a big basket of squeaky toys waiting for you. I still have your toys here, Benji, and selfishly, I wish you were here with me and playing with them.
I hope you were happy living here with me during the last year, Benji. I miss seeing you sitting at the top of the basement stairs, waiting for me to come upstairs. I miss brushing your beautiful, soft hair every night. I miss your big, beautiful loving eyes. I wish I could hold you again, Sweet Benji, but I know Jesus is holding you now and petting and loving you. (How could he resist such a handsome little guy?) I hope you are romping and playing and having a good time with the other dogs and cats on the soft clouds in Heaven.
Aunt Liz misses you, too, Benji. She also thought you were a very good dog.
Benji, you can hold your head up high and be proud of what a very, very good dog you were. I know your early life must have been hard, and then someone turned you out in the bitter, bitter cold last year before you came to live with me. I was so privileged to have you live with me. I hope someday I can join you and that you’ll choose to be my good little dog again. I love you Benji, and I miss you so much. It is too quiet here without you, but I’m glad you are with Jesus so he can take away the disease and make you whole and well again.
Be good Benji, and mama will see you someday in Heaven.
Love Mama
You were a brave and good dog whenever you went to the veterinarian for testing and you were never mean to anybody despite all the poking and prodding.
She hopes you are happy in Heaven.
In Memory of Lady
Dear Beautiful Lady: A piece of my heart broke the day you passed. I can't begin to put into words how much you meant to me. From the beginning, your happy-go-lucky spirit and quirky appearance drew me in. I loved it when you would lie close to me like a child, your curly fur on your head looking like a young girl's ringlets. And that top knot of yours was by far your trademark. There was no other dog in the world that could wear it with such pizazz! You and I would always get into trouble with your Daddy because I would give you too many dog treats or I would sneak you food from my plate. But we didn't care, did we? But my favorite Lady memory was when I would walk behind you and your Daddy when we went to the park. I smile to this day picturing your "going-to-the-park gait" of walking and doing your duty at the same time, never wanting to stop your focus for fear you would miss a bunny or squirrel at the park. My doggie girlfriend, I miss you; but I know wherever you are, you are feeling good and running in the park chasing baby bunnies and squirrels. I will see you again, and we will run in the park once again Love always, Aunt Cheri

In Memory of Peaches
4/02/10 - 11/13/10
Here is our wonderful "snuggle" kitten Peaches. Our daughter received him on her 6th birthday and she just loved him. She dressed him up in doll clothes and took him everywhere. Even when we buried him at Grandpa's acreage she sang to him and made sure he had his favorite blankets and toys. Although he did not live long, the time we had with him was the best ever.

In Memory of Abbie
2010
I recently lost my Abbie of 17 years, Abbie is the best friend I ever had, she came into my life when I thought my life was not worth living anymore. She gave me a reason to live we used to play hide and seek and tag. And she always had to make sure I eas fluffing the sheets right on the bed lol. Abbie loved to help me read and type on the computer. I love her so very much.
And I am not looking to replace her because that is something I could never do, but I have plenty of room in my heart for a feline friend or two.

In Memory of Ringo
4/02/10 - 8/25/10
A very vibrant sweet loving boy that loved to rough play with the other kitties. He was very much loved and spoiled. We are saddened by Ringo's passing, he will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
In Memory of Skyler
4/02/10 - 11/13/10
A beautiful sweet loving boy that had a huge heart and enjoyed kisses. He was very much loved and spoiled. We are saddened by Skyler's passing, he will be deeply missed, but never forgotten. Sweet baby boy, you have stolen a piece of our hearts and made a lasting impression and for these reasons your memory will help us continue to help other felines such as yourself that deserve to be loved. Thank you for rescuing me and giving back more than one can hope. I love you Skyler!! Rest in Peace my sweet boy.
In Memory of Moby
4/02/10 - 8/14/10
We wish we could have done more for such a sweet sweet little boy. Moby was rescued from a shelter in eastern Iowa when that shelter filled up with felines. In the short time that he was in our rescue, he brought so much joy and entertainment with his never ending energy to his foster homes. Sweet Moby, you will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts!
In Memory of Max
I just want to say what a great cat he was. So full of life, courage, forgiveness, and love. He was cherished and loved beyond all things. We have no children so Max took that place in our lives. He was our child. He demanded like a child, threw fits like a child, acted like a child, and loved us unconditionally like a child. He will forever be missed until the day I draw my last breath and meet him at The Rainbow Bridge.

In Memory of Rambo
Our inspiration.....
Sweet Rambo was surrendered to our rescue because his former owner couldn’t afford to pay a pet deposit. Rambo was very unhappy losing his home and owner that he grew to love. The last 8 days of his life, he was hospitalized because he wasn’t eating and had to be force fed. What we discovered, is this 9 year old cat had an assortment of health issues starting with gall stones which back up his bladder which damaged his liver. Poor Rambo had to have a feeding tube surgically inserted in his stomach for nutrition. Rambo captured the many hearts of our rescuers and we did everything we could to provide a quality of life for him. We are saddened to have lost Rambo with all his complications. Rambo’s former owner just discarded him to die in the arms of strangers. We loved him all the same!! Please be kind to your beloved pets and
give them the security of a loving family when they are old and sick. It’s hard on us too.
