I am sorry sorry that you are going through this tough time right now! Patrick has crossed the rainbow bridge to play and romp carelessly and painfree. Thank you for caring for him so much!

Pat, I am so very sorry for your loss. Patrick had a wonderful life, thanks to you. He was well cared for and very, very loved.
I know you will miss him deeply until you meet again.


Patrick, sweet kitty, RIP free of pain. You were loved even by those who never met you in person.

I am really sorry to hear about your loss of Patrick


May he play happily over rainbow bridge, he is not in pain anymore but carefree. I can just picture him now playing with all the other cats, they are having such fun.

Pat,

I am so sorry for your loss of patrick. You are a very devoted and loving kitty mom to have kept him going for 4 years with CRF. You are a inspiration to me, as I am dealing with my 17 year old cat who is failing from CRF. It gives me hope that I may be able to add on more time to morts life with us.

Patrick is now free from pain, he is still with you in spirit. Your bond will never die.

Sending you Cyber hugs...

My heart goes out to you, in your pain. It is so hard to say good bye to a special loved one. The pain subsides in time, but it never completely goes away. I know Patrick is happy and healthy at the Rainbow Bridge, and I hope he meets my Snoopy up there, and they become great friends.

Thank you everyone. I am sorry it took me until today to respond again but I just couldn't access the site no matter what I tried for the past day or two.

Thanks again, the words of support mean quite a great deal to me.

Condolences on the loss of Patrick! His was such an inspiring story - he overcame so many adversities. He deserves an extra-special place in Heaven
His passing leaves this world a duller place, but Heaven is much richer tonight. Enjoy your Reward, Patrick - Lord knows that you sure deserve it.

Thank you to everyone who has posted here. It means so much, it does comfort.

We went to pick up his ashes today, and I really wanted us to let them know how much the past 10 years of this vet clinic caring for him had meant to us.

I printed up a thank you note, with one of his kitten photos and an adult photo of him printed on it, and let them know just how much their kind caring for him had meant over the years, listing by name his two regular vets (one now passed on) and the vet who was there at the end to help me release him.

Because he so loved his treats, I wanted to take treats to them on his behalf...so we went to Costco, and got a large flat sheet carrot cake, with an apricot mousse filling, traditional cream cheese frosting and delightfully decorated with flowers. I told them he wanted to say thanks for their affection towards him.

Tissues came out


I really "feel" my loss today, I just want him back in my arms, I want to be holding him and smooching him between the ears. VERY BIG SIGH.

Next week, when his regular vet is in, I am taking in a huge gift basket that I will make up with dog and kitty treats (she has both), as a personal thank you from him/us to her. It helps letting them know how much we appreciate what they did for him.

Pat...I have been trying to find the words that would express how sorry I am for your loss.
There are no words, except to say that you were blessed to share 19 loving years with your special boy.
I pray that someday you and your beloved Patrick will be together again.
Until that time...
RIP sweet Patrick.
