The Legend of the Rainbow Bridge


 

Patches

 Patches came from the Humane Society of Charlotte. She was 15 years old when we adopted her. Though she was tiny in size, she was very big in heart. She never met a lap she didn't like! She was only with us 8 months before succombing to kidney failure, but she was as cherished as those we've had for many, many years and will be missed always.


Donnie



Donnie came to us from the Humane Society of Charlotte. He had been waiting a whole year for someone to adopt him. Everyone seemed to think he was too old. Their loss was our gain. He was a very polite cat that got along well with both people and cats. He passed away after becoming severely anemic. His sweetness will always be remembered.


Belle

We fostered Belle and her kittens for the Humane Society of Charlotte. She was found as a stray. Nothing was known about her except that she was pregnant. As her foster family, we got to name her. She was so beautiful that no other name but Belle would have suited her. We kept the kittens (Amber, Bandit, Domino & Scout) until they were old enough to be adopted out to good homes. Belle then went to live with my nephew and his family. Unfortunately she passed away suddenly from a possible stroke.

 


Scout

Scout had been with us the longest, 19 years. We got him from a fellow Boy Scout leader in 1985. Hence, the name Scout. He remained on guard always for an empty lap and never missed an opportunity to be petted.
