Memorial For Felix and Linda


This beautiful kitten, a resident at the Rainbow Bridge needs to be remembered as a beloved fur baby who's life was far too short. Adopted and adored by Linda, she misses him terribly.

Felix was found under one of the mobile school units by one of Florida Wild Veterinary Hospital's clients, who brought him to the clinic. He was only three weeks old when he was found, abandoned.

Linda wrote: "It started out as a "foster" baby for me but once I bottle fed him a couple of times I knew he was here to stay. We now think his mother abandoned him because she knew something was wrong. He was all alone out there."

This adorable baby had succumbed to F.I.P, sadly, and was not able to respond to treatment. Since he was so sick, Linda made the terribly difficult decision to release him from his suffering and with great love and tenderness, Felix was gently put to sleep, by his loving veterinarian, Dr. Erin Holder.

Rest in peace, sweet Felix. While your life was all too short, you made a huge imprint on the hearts of everyone who knew you.

Our hearts go out to Linda with much compassion and love.

Prayers Requested For Maxie and RUSTYSGOLDENSONG



RUSTYSGOLDENSONG. (Jessy) has shared her home with Maxie since she was 4 days old, after finding her buried alive by her owners. She was the only survivor of her litter.

A canine with a great will to live, and overcoming with many struggles during her young life, with Jessy's tender love and help, she grew into a magnificent dog.

Maxie is now 11 years old and was recently diagnosed with kidney disease. One of her kidneys is not functioning properly, but she is on medication now which hopefully will help her heal.

Jessy is terribly worried about her canine pal, and is requesting prayers for Maxie. Please light a candle for her as well. Jessy's only Christmas wish is that the treatment Maxie is getting will prolong her life, and that she will be able to share many happy and healthy years ahead.

Please leave a healing prayer for Maxie and Jessy by leaving a comment of support.

Memorial For Samantha and Her Family


It is with sadness that I write a memorial for my friend Susie, who recently lost her beloved cat, a part-Siamese named Samantha. Susie's grief deepand she misses her greatly/. Susie's other cats are grieving, especially Zen, who expresses his feelings openly. Fredricka, Susie's Blood Parrot fish also openly misses Samantha's company as Samantha would visit the tank and "talk" to her fish.

Susie wrote that Samantha was a sweet, calm and friendly kitty, and was quite protective of her. "She passed peacefully, but it was a shock as she was fine the day before."

Samantha only had one eye, but Susie did not care about that. She adopted her about ten years ago, sharing her loving home and heart with joy.
Having had two litters of kittens during her lifetime, Samantha is survived by several "babies". Kim and Snickers live with her daughter.

Please leave a prayerful comment of condolence for Susie, her husband, and her other pets at this sorrowful time.

Memorial for Dustbunny: For Lorrie and Family


This morning, my heart was saddened to learn that Dustbunny, Lorrie's beautifu beloved soulmate 16 year old cat now resides at the Rainbow Bridge.



After a long illness, Dustbunny passed on peacefully in her sleep, not awakening from her nap, curled up basking in the warmth of the stove after eating supper. As Lorrie writes, "Somewhere in her dreams she slipped away from her earthly prison and is now a beautiful sassy cat angel.


Dustbunny was an amazing kitty. Lorrie describes her intelligence as "startling for us humans." She playfully enjoyed flushing toilets, turning lights and ceiling fans on and off, turning on the TV using the remote, and able to open any cabinet or cupboard to hunt for a treat. She even was able to open the refrigerator door open. And even though she was spayed, her maternal instinct was so strong that when Lorrie rescued kittens, Dustbunny would come into milk and nurse and train the kittens.


A strong willed cat, Dustbunny was "sassy" and when she misbehaved, would frequently show her displeasure with her human parents when they tried to correct her. But just the sight of a spray bottle was sufficient for her to disappear in a flash.


Lorrie wrote, "For 16 years she was my sweet and loving companion and my online namesake. She was queen of our home and ruled it with an iron paw and tons of love. Good bye sweet angel. Watch for me someday up there and make sure you sass an angel once in a while"


Please join us in a prayer by leaving a comment for Lorrie and her family who are devastated by their loss. Dustbuny is once again restored to health and vigor as she waits for her human family at the Rainbow Bridge but will be sadly missed, forever.
