When an animal dies that has been especially close to
someone here, that pet
goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our
special
friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food,
water and
sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to
health and vigor.
Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as
we
remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are
happy and
content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special
to
them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one
suddenly stops and
looks into the distance. Her bright eyes are intent. Her eager body
quivers.
Suddenly she begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass,
her legs
carrying her faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Sometimes with breeding, we are forced to accept the bitter agony of death. The joy of the miracle of birth and the joys of having our cats with us every day are not the only emotions that go into our breeding program. We also feel loss, especially when things don't go as planned. This page is dedicated to a very special cat who meant the world to us.
