How to Support the Cat Chat Charity

 

Remembrance Gallery

remembering george cat of cat chatRemembering with love, those special cats who have left pawprints on your heart.

This gallery of remembrance was set up following the loss of our dear George Cat (right), one of the founding felines of the Cat Chat Charity, and a very special little rascal!

This is a place to remember your much loved cats, and a way to pay a real tribute to them, by helping rescued cats find the homes they need. Therefore, we ask for a small donation to place your tribute here, where it will remain for a minimum of one year.

The finest tribute to your cat - helping homeless cats find a brighter future
A Tribute to Bramble
February 1995 To 5 October 2012

We chose you for that special look you always had with your long glossy hair and fluffy tail. You gave us many years of fun pleasure and kindness. Always there for a special cuddle or stroke and brush up.

Now reunited with your mate Brandy, both of you are always in our thoughts and hearts - we love you so much.

Goodnight and God bless until we meet at Rainbow Bridge. Bramble Bush (Brammers) we miss you every day and will never forget you.

Lots of Love Mom & Dad & the Gang.
Tribute to Bramble
In Memory of Patsy
May 7th 1996 - 4th January 2013

You came into our lives as a beautiful bundle of love over 16 years ago. You stood out from the other kittens, not only with your beauty but also your mischievous ways. You always brought beauty, love and sunshine into our lives. You brought me comfort through the loss of a child and being diagnosed with cancer.

Recently, you became poorly. Your kidneys were failing and the vet said there was nothing we could do. You went to sleep in my arms as I cried. You were my angel, a pleasure and a privilege to share my life with, and can never be replaced. Rest in peace my angel. I hope we meet again someday. I will cuddle you then, and never let you go.

Love Donna & Guy Corbin xxx

In Memory of my Darling Kitten
1993 - 2012

Dear Kitten, I love you and my heart is breaking. You have been such a comfort and friend to me since my Mum died and I will forever be grateful. I will miss you so much. I hope you have found Biscuit, Sam, Whisky and Mum at Rainbow Bridge.  

Until we all meet again, sweet dreams my baby.

All our love Mummy and Mischa

In Beloved Memory of Monty & Max - Our Handsome Boys
March 1999 to July / August 2009


Three years have passed since we said "Good-bye" but our memories of you both will never die.

You gave us ten wonderful years of love, joy and happiness, so your passing left an enormous hole in our lives.

Some cats come into our lives and quickly go, some stay longer and leave paw-prints on our hearts forever - and will never be forgotten.

Until we meet again, our darling boys,
Mum and Dad.

Tribute to Toby

In Memory of Kitty, who went to Rainbow Bridge on 4 July 2012

Our beautiful golden princess, you were so caring and loving, with the sweetest most uncomplaining nature of any cat we have ever known. You would rush to us when we came in and welcome us with your sparkling but very loud miaow. We loved to sing “All the single kitties” to you as you lifted your paw along. You loved playing “stringy”, chasing around after an old bit of string. You were so poorly but bore all your visits to the vet and treatments so bravely. We wanted to have longer with you and tried everything to save you, but it was so sadly not to be.

We miss you so much Kitty. The house is empty and cold without you. We can sometimes hear your little paw steps jumping down from the windowsill and hope that you are still close to us.

Sleep tight at Rainbow Bridge darling Kit and wait for us… xxx

Tribute to Kitty

Remembering Sammy
Who went to Rainbow Bridge in August 2005

You came into our lives as a stray and were so frightened and thin that you wouldn't even come near us when we left food out for you for a year and lived under the holly bush. Gradually we won your trust and you moved in to live with us. You made our lives complete and we were happy and honoured that you chose to come to be with us as our darling companion. You were such a fine cat, and a real gentleman.

So loved and longed for always darling Sam.
Until we meet again.

Humbug
c1990 - 7th June 2010

In memory of our dearest Humbug, our Princess Pretty. We first met you when you came to say hello when we first moved in 10 years ago and have been part of our lives ever since, first as an overnight visitor and then as a permanent resident for the last 5 years. You ruled the street with a quiet grace, and loved nothing more than to await unsuspecting doggies as they passed our drive, when they would be greeted with a smart tap on the nose or hiss. Everyone knew you and loved you. You loved us singing your special "You're Beautiful" song to you and having tummy tucks and toe ticks. You were always with us and tended to us when we were ill, never leaving our side. Such a loving, darling and extra special girl - one in a million. Our house is now empty and all the life has gone from it. We miss you so very, very much.

Sleep tight at Rainbow Bridge darling Hum, with your sisters and Bella and
Sam.

Until we meet again...
Love you more than anything

Beauty
Nov 1995 - July 2011


Goodbye beautiful one, from the moment you arrived as a kitten we knew you were special. We have had almost 16 years of Joy with you, from all the "presents" you brought home for us, to protecting your property and sisters from all the cats in the street, to adopting your new Mummy and making sure she was safe on Bonfire night. We will miss being summoned at 5am for feeding, for being told to open the front door, even if the back door was open, for being told to get off the chair, as you decided it was yours.

You will be always and forever in our hearts and minds. Play well with your sisters on the Bridge Beautiful one

Love Dad and Mum, Jasper and Rambo.

My Beautiful Ollie

I am heartbroken to have lost you when you had so many more years ahead of you and I’m truly grateful to have spent the last 2 years with you. I know you enjoyed your life with me as much as I enjoyed mine with you. A real black beauty with your shiny long hair, velvet paws and silky drawers!

You brought sunshine to my life Ollie and I miss you so much. Such a beautiful boy with a unique personality and I could never, ever, forget you.

My Nini has his wingman.

Goodbye My Baby Boy xx

Mam.

Max

Dear Max, I miss you so much. You came into our lives 6 years ago from a rescue centre and soon blossomed into such a friendly, special cat. I am heartbroken that you are gone and still cry every day when I think of you. I miss your trills, the way you’d stretch out on the floor to be stroked, how you’d run up to meet me from work. Thank you for brightening our lives so much.

We love you Maxie X

Simba
25/7/2006 to 1/7/2011

Simba our beautiful, majestic Bengal. You were totally mischevious, always getting into scrapes. You were well known in the neighbourhood often inviting yourself into their houses and befriending their cats and dogs! You were noisy and craved attention, enjoying sitting on our laps and playing alongside us in the garden. You had even accompanied your 'brother' Jeremy on his paper round but soon got bored. We were devastated to lose you so suddenly on that fateful summer's day. We love you and miss you dearly.

Rest in Peace.
Nick, Peng, Jeremy and Robin.

Remembering Misty

I can't believe it's 4 years since you left us. I still miss you so much and now Sammie has joined you and I scattered her ashes with yours in my favourite spot.

My home seems so empty and lonely without you both. I know that a new cat will arrive at the rescue centre one of these days and we'll be perfect for each other, just like you and Sammie were.

Of course I'll always remember you...

In Loving Memory of Henry
July 2002 to October 2011

Our beautiful Hen Pen chose us in 2003. As soon as she came home she was in charge and we changed our lives to suit her. We have had a wonderful 8 years with her and are heartbroken. She sadly passed away after a short illness, kidney failure. She was the first cat we had and we never realised how much love and affection a cat can give.

We will love you forever darling girl. We will see you at Rainbow Bridge.
Love Mummy, Daddy, Bernadette, Shane and Twix.

In Memory of Bandit
1990 – 2005

You were a stray, creeping through the cat flap at night to steal the food intended for our resident cat, Monster. He didn’t like you (chased you into our fish pond once) but you were absolutely determined you were going to live with us, having spent years living rough in neighbouring gardens.

I absolutely loved you and I received shed loads of affection in return – a constant companion, sitting beside the computer as I worked, on my lap as I read and on the bed as I slept. When I was ill you stayed with me night and day.

It’s been a long time now since I had to say goodbye but your memory is as clear as the photographs on my study wall.

I still miss you so much, my Bandit.

Brandy
Feb 1995 to 5 May 2011

You came as a mischievous rescue kitten and grew into the most kind adoring and lovable cat.
Your mate Bramble misses you each day and often looks around for you, especially in your special place on the sofa, where you never allowed him to sit. Like Bramble, we miss your presence and little rubs against the legs. Many furry presents were deposited in your early years, especially rabbits which you always left half to share with your mate Bramble.
You knew when I was ill and comforted me through illness. I knew when you had got into trouble with other cats in the Lane when  we shared our quiet trips to the vet.  We miss you every day until we reunite at Rainbow Bridge, God bless.
Brandy, Brandy Bubbles, Bubs for short.

All our love Mom & Dad Bramble & the rest of the Gang
