In our hearts, the cherished memories live on... This site is created in loving memory of our beloved FancyBoy and JoJo.
"For a moment all the world was right,
how was I to know that you'd ever say good bye?
And now I'm glad I didn't know
the way it all would end, the way it all would go."

Deeply herished by Debbie Gansberg
Born 1989 Became an Angel Kitty May 27, 2003
Lucy died May 27, 2003 of hyperthyroidism. She was 14 years old. She was a beautiful multi-colored tabby with gorgeous green eyes. She was gentle and loving. She was the epitome of a lady - prim proper. I miss her so much.
Dash
Deeply loved and missed by Kelly Haden
Born 1990 Became an Angel Kitty November 9, 2002
On November 9, 2002, Dash made the journey across the Rainbow Bridge. Dash had suffered for about a year with an intestinal disorder, most likely intestinal lymphoma. Her intestinal problems were never definitively diagnosed; however, she was not improving with any of the treatments we tried. A definite diagnosis would have required surgery, and there was no guarantee she could survive that. She also had a heart murmur and hyperthyroidism, and had previously fought renal failure. Dash was a tough kitty. She hung on as long as she could, but it was time for her to be at peace.
Dash has been a part of my life since high school. She has been with me through college, marriage, divorce, moving, everything. She's been my best friend. Dash's spirit will always be here.
Born 1992 ? Became an Angel Kitty October 18, 2003
Missy was one of the residents at PetRescue.com, Inc. Her story is one of amazing courage and survival - travelling thousands and thousands of miles from her native country of Singapore to the United States of America. How she defied the odds of survival in Singapore, an island of paradise but one of total hell for cats, makes Missy even more special than just a little "stray."
In March 1997, American Jana Faucher of Action Cat discovered a hedge not far from her residence in Singapore which seventeen starving little cats and kittens called home. Though she was in a foreign country, her compassionate heart and mind told her she had to help these cats. Jana courageously spoke for the cats, against the Singaporean government who demanded that no one feed the cats and dogs without severe repercussions - heavy fining and possible prison sentencing. Their policy was to starve them so they "will cease to breed."
Jana tamed these little cats, feeding and caring for them every day. With each day, she feared more and more for their safety, knowing they were beginning to trust humans - this being fatal if she couldn't get them adopted. No one came forward, not one single Singaporean. Before Jana's eyes, the months slipped by without any help from the citizens of Singapore. She helplessly watched as her little hedge cats disappeared to unknown horrible fates until there remained only four. Missy was the oldest of the four - mother to KitKat and Tigger; next in age was Julius.
A tiny group of Americans formed to help Jana promote world-wide awareness of the deplorable lives all stray animals in Singapore are forced to endure, a daily struggle to find food and shelter. Through the web sites of this tiny group, more and more sites linked to further express outrage and disgust against the wealthy country, a country with no compassion, no love, no regard to part of their population: the stray cats and dogs. Over 400,000 cats alone are on their streets, a country not much larger than Chicago.
All four cats were airlifted to the United States where the three younger cats were adopted immediately by loving families.
Due to Missy's age and a few health problems, her destination was to PetRescue.com, Inc., her new home. Here Missy was loved and cared for with the other charming residents of this wonderful organization. Please read more about Missy at PetRescue.com, Inc.
Missy had been with us six years; she was roughly 11 or 12 years old, but that tough little heart of hers that had carried her through so many travails in her life finally gave out on October 18, 2003. She left us the same way she lived - purring quietly and without fuss - as usual, not wanting to cause us any bother.
It's always hard to lose any of these little guys but some are definitely tougher than others. Missy was
so easy to love. It gave us so much pleasure to see just how contented she was here. She was so happy. She loved us and she loved the companionship of the other cats. There wasn't a single animal - cat, dog, raccoon or possum - that she didn't get along with. Life was good for her and that gave us so much joy. I can't tell you just how much we miss this tiniest and sweetest of creatures. How can something that small leave such a gigantic hole in your heart!
Our hearts are shattered, Little Girl. The Daileys, Craig, your little Tigger, and I miss you, dear Missy, and will miss the many, many updates and beautiful pictures sent to us throughout the year from our sponsorship. We'll see you at the Bridge. We know that you are dancing free from diseases with our Rainbow Bridge Kids. We'll be home soon, Sweet One. All our love, Susie

Born January 2, 2003 Became an Angel Kitty February 20, 2004
My cat's name was Pounce. She was born Jan 02, 2003 and I lost her Feb 20, 2004.
Her favorite thing to do was play fetch with a little stuffed frog I got bought her the day I got her. She was always the one to lift me up when I had a bad day or whenever I was just feeling down.
I took her into the vet's to have her spayed and no less than an hour later I got the call that she didn't make it. The vet couldn't tell me why; he said he didn't understand.
I was supposed to take a 2 hour trip that afternoon and I found out there was bad car accident where I would
have been. I think my Pounce knew that and maybe saved my life.
