Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day 2016

Gus:  We are joining our friends, Zee and Zoey in remembering those who have gone to the Rainbow Bridge


This year we lost three students - Opal, Aspen, and Ash.

Opal

Aspen

Ash
We lost Aspen and Opal to an unfair Kansas law that requires shelters to euthanize cats with FELV.  If we would have been able to tame Aspen and Opal, we could have transferred them to another state.  Unfortunately, they were too feral and they were not going to learn how to trust humans.

Ash probably had some type of parasite that his young body was too frail fight.

When foster students come to live with us, we love them as part of our family.  This makes it harder if they go to the Rainbow Bridge but we take comfort in knowing they were loved even for a short time.

Today is also the Sunday Selfie Blog Hop hosted by The Cat on My Head.  Please visit their website to see the other entries, many of whom are also remembering family members who have gone to the Rainbow Bridge.

    We are so sorry that these babies had to go to the Bridge. What an unfair law Kansas has about cats with FIV. Purrs and hugs to you.
