Tuppence was born on th 18th March, the runt of the litter of 5 kittens.

I returned from holiday on the 7th May and she was very weak and about to die.

 

I took her home and force fed her every 2 hours and she slowy started to respond although

 I wouldn't  have give tuppence for her chance hence her name.

 

 

Bob, the elderly cat already fostered by me did not know what hit him when she started to get

stronger and she thought he was her big brother.

 

She became a well loved character throught the shelter and at our home.

She had a little snub nose and a heart full of affection although the odd bite or scratch didn't go amiss.

 

She had no fear and was reallly done well although she was only tiny.

 

 

Roma, a shelter colleague, fostered Bob and Ella (as she had now been named)

for three weeks from the 24th August.

 

They both did well during their stay and Ella was not afraid of Roma's 3 dogs.

 

 

Unfortunately, on Sunday 13th September, Ella's little body stared to shut down and we had to have her

put to sleep on the 16th September.

 

 Her little body failed so quickly we should have stayed with the name Tuppence.

 

 

During her short 6 month life she gave lots of love, she loved life and she is sorely missed.

 

God bless your spirit little Ella.

 

 

 

For my Boy Sumo
 

One look was all it took
My heart was yours
So hansome and beautiful
A face you would adore
The footballs, the walks
The kisses, the cuddles
My shadow you become
 
You picked me up when i was down
You never let me be sad
The love and laughter you gave to me
For that i will always be glad
 
So sick so soon, no one knew?
Always so happy this cant be true
So full of cuddles right till the end
My heart is broken and it will not mend

 

 
The decision so hard
Forgive me my son
I knew your suffering
Could not go on
 
The pain I feel
No words can describe
Your loss is unbearable
I wish I could hide
In to your cuddles
Smell you, and squeeze tight
Like I use to saying goodnight
 
God look after my angel please,
Listen to me, I'm down on my knees
5 years you took him, too soon I will stress
But thank you Sumo, to have you I was blessed
 
Until the day we meet again
My loyal companion, my boy, my best friend
Goodnight, God bless
Kisses and cuddles mummy sends
I know your always with me
For you now, the pain ends

 

 
love always sumo, mummy xxxxx

 

 

We had Kaiser from when he was a puppy. At 18 months, he was diagnosed with epilepsy.

Over the next 4 years, he was having regular seizures, and although he was on medication, his seizures

were becoming more and more frequent and servere.

 

We lost Kaiser on 15th August 2008.

We all miss him like mad and although he isn't here any more,

we have the memories and photos of him that will stay with us forever.

He was our shadow and everywhere we went he was there.

We know he is still our shadow now and he will always be with us in our hearts.

 

In tribute to our Kaiser, we have dedicated the poems below which express our feelings of him.

 

Love you Kaiser.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first time I laid eyes on you
I knew right from the start
That you were meant for me alone
You put your paw print on my heart.

You taught me unconditional love
You made me laugh and smile
A little clown of angel white
With all your grace and style

Uncanny how you seem to know
All my feelings deep inside
Whether happy, sad or in-between
There’s nothing from you I can hide

Intelligence in those deep dark eyes
How could one be so smart
You knew just how to capture me
You put your paw print on my heart

A kiss, a whine, a growl, a bark
A language all your own
I understand your every word
With knowledge I’ve never known

I know that I am hooked for life
I will let nothing keep us apart
My friend, my pal, my soul mate
You put your paw print on my heart

 

Mum (Roma)
