Find out moreWhat Suzie means to me. Suzie came into my life when I was just starting to live on my own in the UK. I’d always wanted a cat, a companion to keep me company in my little one-bedroom flat. I first met Suzie at Cats Protection League, where she was listed as part of a bonded pair. Her brother Sammy rushed up to me, super vocal and friendly, and I initially wanted to adopt him. The shelter wanted them rehomed together, but after further observation, they realized the two didn’t actually get along. Another family adopted Sammy, and I brought Suzie home. Suzie is such a sweetheart. At the shelter, she mostly stayed in her cage, not shut down, just quiet and aloof. She didn’t really engage with the other cats. She was there for four months… until I came along. From day one at home, she settled right in. She explored every corner, used the litter box like a pro, never scratched furniture, and never hissed or swatted. And when I petted her, she purred. She truly is the best cat I could have asked for. In those early post-graduation months, when every day felt the same, full of job rejections and uncertainty, Suzie was my constant. Her loud purrs, her cuddles, the simple act of just being there... she was my anchor. She also became my little travel companion. I secretly wanted her to be my road trip buddy. When we stayed at an Airbnb in Ayr, she was calm, curious, and friendly, no fuss, no fear. She had so much love to give. And I loved her back, completely. She did have a sensitive stomach, threw up most of the supermarket food I naively bought at first. Only Purina One and Sheba wet food worked. A few vet visits confirmed it was likely just hairballs and a touchy gut. When my mom visited, she surprised me with how lovingly she spoke to Suzie, even letting her know when we’d be stepping out. And my partner: she’s been an important part of Suzie’s life, too. Always caring, always attentive. Suzie loved her pillow, loafing in the same little crevice every time. Then came June. She started shaking. I was in Budapest at the time, but my partner stepped in like a second mum and got her to the vet. Blood work came back fine. Maybe just a GI issue. Suzie seemed to stabilise with meds. When I returned and brought her home, she was so happy, stealing my chair, climbing onto the bed to curl into my arm, resting her paw on mine. Then just a month later, I heard it, a thud. She’d tried to jump onto my chair but slipped and landed badly. From there, it all changed. Weak legs. Wobbly, drunk-like walking. No cuddles. No poop. No appetite. I was — I am — in shock. How did my Suzie deteriorate this fast? Then the news came, after five vet visits no less. Advanced lymphoma. That explained her drastic decline. I had to make the hard decision of letting her go. I stood there wrapped my arms around her til the very end, telling her it’s okay, I know you’re tired. She passed on with the world at her paws and a courageous heart. Suzie, you are my joy, my comfort, and my friend. You’ve brought so much warmth into my life. Rest well; I’ll be here, right next to you, knowing that I did my very best to be the dad you deserve. Stay strong, my girl. You and me.
Find out moreMiss Moss, You were such a sweet girl. You followed us home so you could give birth to your adorable kittens, who you let us find a good home for. You were so skinny when we got you, but you filled out so well and gained a healthy weight a few weeks later. You bonded immediately with our kitten, Scorch. You two were best friends, and played all the time. You would follow us all throughout the house, and daintily request head scratches. I miss your cuddles, and the sound of you chasing/being chased by Scorch. I miss giving you your little head kisses goodnight, and hearing you chirp at me in the morning. You saved us, just like we saved you and your babies. I have the softest, warmest blanket waiting for you in your spot when you find your way home again. I love you Miss Moss.
Find out moreRemembering our baby Holly, she has been my best friend for 16 years and has left a huge hole in my heart. She will be truly missed, life won’t be the same without you. I love you Hollybobs. When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see, the sun will rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me. I know how much you loved me, as much as I loved you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too. When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, an angel came and called my name, and petted me with her hand. I thought about our lives together, I know you must be sad, I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had. When tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart
Find out moreSimba, You passed away two months ago after a sudden illness. It was so unexpected and has completely broken my heart. You came to us when you were 8 weeks old, we bonded straight away and have been together ever since. You would follow me around the house and wait at the windowsill for me everyday to get home from work. It was like you had a built in clock for when I would be home. Your favourite place in the world was on my bed, right next to me or on my lap. You loved to suck on blankets and knead them with your paws - it was your favourite thing to do when you were feeling extra happy and relaxed. You were my best friend and you have been there for me through so much in my life. I was 21 when you came into my life. I am 35 now and I have never been an adult without you. You were so brave after a severe leg injury in 2019, going through constant bandage changes and even a skin graft at the specialist vet. You would let them change your bandage with no fuss, you would just put your little chin over my hand and let them get on with it. Your courage gave us another 5 wonderful years together and I will always be so grateful for that time. You were a little more wary of new people after your injury but I was still your absolute favourite and we spent so many evenings together snuggling, with you rubbing your forehead all over my face. You were the absolute best, most beautiful cat that anyone could ask for and I was so lucky to be loved by you. I know you are at the rainbow bridge and that you are out of pain, but it still feels so incomprehensible that you are not here because the gap you have left in my heart is enormous. All my love forever, Mummy xxxx
Find out moreMaple sadly passed away from heart failure back in December 2024. He was the kindest boy who loved me dearly. He sat on the sofa with me and cuddled with me on the bed. He was my soul cat and I think about him often. He left behind his brother Dipper who is his litter mate and Bill who we got from Cats protection. Since Maple we have been able to give two new cats Tilly and Ada a home. I see glimpse of him in what they do.

Find out moreWhat a time we had together. Along with your brother Billy you have shared the ups the downs, the tears and the laughter with me. You stand out from all the cats I have had. You were handsome, tolerant, a bit bossy with your brother but above all you were a loving companion. I love you dearly, and will have so many memories of your escapades and of the rescues I had to perform which led to you being called DLC ( Douglas Lazarus Cat). Rest now my dearest, dearest Douglas. Forever lived, forever in my heart.
