Faithful Friends

My cat Timothy (Burmese cross) died of kidney failure December 13th 2005 at the age of 16. I have been blessed with him since he was 11 weeks old. I brought him from the Pearcedale Animal Aid in February 1990, he chose me that day. He was the best friend anyone could hope to have and I will miss him forever until I’m able to join him again. He’s now with his Grampa in heaven. He was extremely affectionate and we were hardly ever apart. He loved to sleep right next to me under the blankets at night and play in the sun by day.

Timothy, I love you and I don’t know what I’m going to do without you, I had almost 16 wonderful years with you, till we meet again my friend.

I recently lost my two full bred Staffordshires, Chloe (brindle) would have been 9 years old next month & Kaa’hli (black & white) would have been 3 in October. Kaa’hli, like so many of your animals was dumped and so near death when she came into my care. I could not understand (and still cannot understand to this day) why someone would want to mistreat such a beautiful animal. I was truly blessed to have both girls in my life.

Sadly, I lost my girls while visiting a friend in a farming community. My girls were shot by a farmer, just because they were on his property, sadly which is the law. I was devastated as it took 2 days of investigative work to find out what had happened to my girls and where they had mercilessly been dumped. I had both of my girls cremated, and to this day I am still grieving over the loss of them. They were truly two little princesses that I will miss everyday for the rest of my life. As the girls were my kiddies.

My little man, I was so blessed to share your life, so cursed to have you taken from me. I miss your warm little self snuffling under the blankets, your clumsy, uncat behaviour, your nose inside the fridge whenever it opened, your constant purr and eyes aglow in your little bat face. Your absence has left a void in our house and in my heart. May Bast be watching over you. (Bast is the ancient Egyptian Cat Goddess).

I luv you always, Treena.

We were given Fluffy as a kitten in 2001. She was a bit fiesty and crazy. She was a part of the family for 4 years. Fluffy passed away on 6.12.2005 at the young age of 4 due to being hit by a car. She was very much loved from the moment we brought her home. A happy fiesty cat with attitude but acted like a princess. She lives through the eyes of all her kittens. Fluffy you were a wonderful loving and unique cat that we will always remember and hold a special place in our hearts.
