We adopted Frodo 13 years ago from Whiskers. Frodo was smart, loving and affectionate. He helped us raise two other foster kittens, Leopold and Bonsai. He got along well with cats and dogs. We will miss his love and companionship. Bonsai and Daphne, our other cats will miss snuggling on the bed with Frodo.

We adopted our gorgeous baby in June 2011. On October 21, 2022 she left us unexpectedly. We have been heartbroken she was fine. The shock of losing her has been devastating. Everything about her was perfect and that is not an exaggeration. L.C. shared her love unconditionally. She was a great sister to her fur doggy sister Zazi. We will adopt again in tribute to her and continue the circle of love. With a love this deep you need to place that love in another not to replace but, to honor. To our beloved L.C. our love for you continues in our hearts and memories. I feel guilty I do not know why you left us. You appeared fine. You fell asleep in our bed and on my pillow. I was preparing your dinner and found you there I thought you were sleeping. My heart was ripped out why I knew the truth you were gone. It appears your final moments you were at peace in one of your favorite places. I rest my head at night on that pillow my beautiful furangel. It was my privilege to be your momma and the time was much too short baby girl.

This is in memory of our dear neighbor's cat, Bodie. Bodie was a friendly guy and a protector of his home. He loved his forever family and always wanted to be near them. I know he kept a watchful eye on his surroundings, and I heard great stories about his guard cat abilities. He will be missed.

Sushi, I miss you every single day, you were so much to me, but most importantly of all you were my best friend. I loved you so much and you loved me the same, I know you did, I could feel it. I feel so lost and alone at times without you, I still expect to see you come from around the corner or see you in the corner of my eye chasing some animal outside. I still see you rolling on the ground outside the house and feel you sit on my chest as I sleep. I still hear your quiet little meows and hear Fi meow in annoyance when you got too close. I don't know if I'll ever be able to forget you Sushi, but I don't want to, I want you right here next to me as I write this, I want to see you in the window waiting for me as I come home from work, I want to see you greet me as I walk in the door, I want you to be on the bed as I go to sleep, I want to you to be there on the bed as I wake up. The 5 years I had with you are 5 years in which I truly felt what it was to have a bonded companion, I've always wanted an animal companion/friend, but I never thought I would have the type I had with you and frankly I don't think I'll ever get to experience that type of love ever again in my life. Regardless of how unforeseen and quickly you were taken from me, regardless of the pain that was associated with your death, regardless of all the future experiences I thought we were going to be able to experience together. You gave me some of the most fulling experiences/feelings of my life, I know what true love feels like because you gave me full and true love, I only hope you felt the same from me. Every now and then you need to look back and reflect on all the good things that have happened in your life. You Sushi, you were one of those most impactful and joy full things that have ever happened to me. The only thing I regret about our relationship is how quickly it ended. I love you with all of my heart and soul Sushi, I only hope one day you and I can be in each others presence again.

Our first fur baby, Ivy Rose (Bigggles, Wiggles) was adopted from Whiskers in 2015. She was our first pet and adopted into our family two weeks after moving to the area. She was so sassy, loved to eat (I mean loved!!) and would wake us up in the middle of the night - just for snuggles and attention. Whenever we were sick or sad, she always knew and came over to sit on our lap and comfort us. She’d greet us at the door every time we came home - it was the most wonderful feeling. She was so vocal - our house has been so quiet since she passed on. So many good and wonderful memories. It seemed fitting to post a memorial on today, National Black Cat Day in your honor my kitty baby. Mommy, Daddy, and sissy miss you so very much every day.

Love, always, mommy, daddy, and Lu.  - October 27, 2020

Our beautiful Stassi girl went to be with her big brother Rupert shortly before Thanksgiving this year. At the young age of 7, Stassi was diagnosed with Lymphoma. Despite a poor prognosis, Stassi was a strong girl and put up a fight to spend as much time with her loving family as she could. Stassi was one of a kind. We will always miss our conversations(she was a very vocal girl!), snuggle time and all of her quirks. She was perfectly, imperfect. Stassi was always our angel while on this earth and continues to be. Stassi leaves behind her younger sister, Buffy and brother, Will. We cannot thank Whiskers enough for giving our girl a chance. She brought so much joy to our lives. We all miss her very much and always will. Rest in peace Stassi, we love you so much.

Love Mommy, Daddy and Family. - December 23, 2017

Silkie, the Queen of the Dillon household, took her last breath with us on March 18th, 2016 at 5:41 pm. We were blessed to have her for 17 years, and we will all miss her very much. We got her from Whiskers at 3 years old after her first family couldn't keep her, and ever since then she stole our hearts. She loved to hang in the kitchen with mom when shed cook dinner, lay in the sunlight, and steal some treats whenever she could. She was famous for her incredibly loud meow, getting locked in the pantry because shed fall asleep in there, and laying ONLY on your left leg if she were to lay on your lap. 20 years total, and 17 years wasn't enough for us. your took a piece of our hearts with you, kitty. We love you little girl

Harley, a stunningly handsome green-eyed tiger, was only 7 years young when he passed away unexpectedly on Father's Day. When he was a small kitten, he was found foraging for food behind a Hannaford and taken in by Whiskers. He was such an adorable boy, it didn't take long for him to find his new dad who hoped he would be a good companion for his older cat, Calvin. It took Calvin quite a while to forgive this transgression, but Harley grew on him over time and was his buddy of sorts until Calvin passed away. For the next two years it was just Harley and his dad. They should have had many more years together. We are so sorry he's gone.

In May of this year Dan and I lost one of our special “kids”, Gracie. Gracie came to us from the local humane society in July of 2009. She was found on the streets with very badly infected eyes and it was necessary for the shelter to surgically remove them before placing her up for adoption. Upon adoption we were told she was probably 2 years old although since then we have been told by vets she was most likely much older. The shelter had named her Wonder but upon meeting her for the first time Dan said her name should be Grace, because she was amazing. Gracie was a special girl and fearless although she couldn’t see. She could do anything the other cats in the household could do and navigated around with ease. People who came to our house found it almost impossible to believe that she couldn’t see; she would look right at them and was quite accurate as she nipped them (and us also). :-) Although the shelter had assessed her personality as warm and affectionate she never quite lived up to that. Everything was done under her own terms but she adored Dan and showed him the most affection. Gracie was very independent but her favorite place to sit was between us on the couch. She loved to sleep on the bed and play with toys that made noise. She could navigate the stairs to the cellar with unbelievable ease. We even had to construct a barrier along the stairs because she would just stop midway down and jump over the edge. A few years ago she developed trouble with walking and after numerous visits to vets and specialists it was thought that she had a spinal tumor. It was never really determined because the specialist said that Gracie was a poor candidate for surgery even if it was operable and he wasn’t willing to work with her. Let’s just say that she wasn’t cooperative with anyone who examined her (including us). For a few years Gracie did well with steroid shots but eventually the disease won out. Losing her was one of the hardest days of my life; we loved her very much and had made sure that her life was as easy as we could make it even after she lost the use of her legs. We still think of her every day and that space on the couch reminds us every day of the great life that was lost. We are grateful for the time we had with her; she taught us so much about determination and overcoming insurmountable odds. We miss and love you so Gracie!

Our beloved Brass, whom we adopted with his brother from Whiskers shortly after moving into our house in December, 1997, today joins Copper and Frosty on the Rainbow Bridge. Brass was our sweet "lap" kitty, always wanting to be on a lap when we sat down. For 17 years, he was our faithful friend and companion, and we will miss him terribly. We know he is now romping happily with his kitty friends, something his heart failure will no longer prevent. Rest in peace, beautiful boy.

Lily was only 7 weeks old when she came to live with me. I adopted her from the local animal shelter. She lived to be 16 years old. She was loving yet could be independent. She always wanted to sit by me, but not always on my lap. If she wanted to she did, but it had to be her idea. She was always so healthy but she went in for a routine exam and by accident I found out she had breast cancer. From the time I found out until I had to take her back was about two precious months. Lily was so trusting of everything I had to do for her. She sat by me whenever I was there and she insisted on holding hands with me or even my grandchildren when she sat by them. It was so touching. She got so thin it was hard for her to jump up on anything anymore so I had pillows everywhere for her to climb up on her favorite spaces. The last night I slept with her on the spare bed and she was so happy to have me there all night with her. The next day I took her back to the vet carrying her in a blanket. She only weighed about 5 pounds at this point. We sat in the room waiting for the Dr. and she took her frail little paw and actually wrapped it right around my finger. She was peaceful in the room and then I said goodbye. I miss her every day and I believe she led me to Poppy, my cat I adopted from Whiskers a few months ago. I know Lily is with her sister Rosie now who I also loved for 13 years. One day I hope to see them again and I know Lily will be the first one to take my hand. Love you sweet girl....

Ivan, you were the amazing cat of my sister -- you and your sister Nadia, who died a few years ago. You lived way beyond anyone's expectations, especially the past several years. But, the last time I saw you, you were still meowing, purring, eating and getting around. You are part of over 20 years of memories in our family. Right from the funny discovery that you were Nadia's sister, not her brother ... your moves from the east cost to the south west and back again. We even saw the addition of a dog and a child to your household during all this time. We will always miss you Ivan.

Dempsey, we were so shocked at your sudden passing ... you were such a young guy. So sweet. You and your pal, Arlo, came to help fill an empty spot from an earlier family cat who passed away.

I first met Ralph (red) & Merlin (silver)(and Annie, see another post) when their sitter couldn't make it because of a snow storm ... I filled in for her. They were interested to see me! They were all litter mates, and even though this photo is of them as kittens, they did grow up and keep each other company. Each one was a character! Ralph would jump on the counter to wait impatiently for me to get his food ready, and he would eat in one special spot there. Merlin was kind of conflicted -- he wanted to get attention, but he was a little worried and would run away. I was supposed to give him some pills ... but he found the one hiding place I could not get him out of. He would dive in between the basement steps into a crawlspace behind the stair case. There were no other entrances to this space, so I was sunk! Smart guy. Ralph used to get insulin, and he was always very good about his shots. The three of them all left us in a short span of time in under one year. I can't imagine their home without them.
