Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge...


"George - he was only with us for two years, but we loved him as if he were our child. Sadly, his 13 yrs. of life came to an end due to a tumor in the mouth. We choose not to remember how he was while he was sick, it's too painful. We still laugh about how he wouldn't play with his kitty toys unless they were in reaching distance; smile knowing that he hated to see us leave for work everyday; and we miss him the most at bedtime because he is longer here to cuddle up under the blankets with us as we fall asleep. He truly was a human being. He was my best friend and I miss him everyday. even though we have a new kitty in our lives, George will never be forgotten...he will always live on in our hearts."

"Gordo was Doug's first and best friend since he moved from Ohio to California in 1996 and got him when he was just a kitten, he grew to become a strong, BIG, good hearted cat that always acted as a guard cat protecting us and our home. Gordo will be missed everyday of our lives. He owns a big part of our hearts. His brothers Jerry and Timmeee and sister Tipper thank Gordo for protecting them specially last night (August 7, 2002) and for always being the Best Big Brother ever."
-- Douglas and Carla



"Ruckyron started life here as a stray, very much unwanted, without any particular name. I finally started calling him 'Ron'. He got into so much trouble, and survived so many stunts, I finally dubbed him 'Luckyron', and that somehow turned into Ruckyron. He was my heart. And it remains broken without him in my life.

Ruck’s luck ran out on the morning of 10/20/1998 when he was hit by a car, on his way back across the street.

We do know that Rucky was lucky 4 times though, as we have the four kittens he fathered the month before he died."
-- Kathy McGregor



"Zif, my sealpoint Persian who died tragically 5 months ago (hit by a speeding car). I got him as a 10 week old kitten and during his short life of 2 years we were never separated for more than a few hours at a time. He lived a life of luxury, dining on prime steak heated in his own microwave, which was his dinner gong. As any cat lover will appreciate, his loss was almost too much to bear. Though during his life he was loved more than words can describe."

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

This section will always be "in production," and your tributes to your own Special Cats are encouraged. It is always difficult to say "goodbye" to a cherished friend, and a tribute is one way of easing the pain while saluting the cats who bring so much happiness to our lives. You may submit your photo and tribute using the guidelines on the photo submission page.
