In Loving MemoryOn this page you will find tributes to our beloved furry friends who are no longer with us and have gone to live on the Rainbow Bridge. All these cats will remain forever in hearts as they have all played a big part in our lives no matter how long or short a time they were here with us.
RAINBOW BRIDGE
Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they each miss someone very special, someone who was left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Bright eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge Together... Willowbeck Chandonna (Molly) 25/06/2006 - 03/11/2006 Emerisle Summerskye (Summer) 12/05/2006 - 05/06/2007
  If it should be I grow frail and and pain prevents my peaceful sleep,
Then you must do what must be done,
When this last battle can't be won.
You will be sad, I understand
Selfishness might stay your hand.
But on this day more than the rest,
Your love and friendship take the test.
We've had so many happy years,
That what's to come can hold no fears,
You'd not want me to suffer so,
When the time comes, please let me go,
Take me where my needs they'll tend,
Only stay with me until the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me,
Until my eyes no longer see,
I know, in time, you too will see,
Its a kindness that you do for me,
Although my tail it last has waved,
From pain and suffering i've been saved,
Do not grieve it should be you,
Who must decide this thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years.
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
Your favorite chair is vacant now...
No eager purrs to greet me No softly padded paws to run ecstatically to meet me No coaxing rubs, no plaintive cry Will say it time for feeding I've put away your bowl, And all the things you won't be needing But I will miss you little friend, For I could never measure the happiness you brought me, the comfort and the pleasure. And since God put you here to share In earthly joy and sorrow I'm sure there'll be a place for you In Heavens bright tomorrow Kadacoon Kito (Kito)
18/03/2008 Sadly yesterday we had to make the hard decision to have Kito one of our newest members to the Maine Coon family put to sleep.
After speaking long and hard with the vet and Kito's breeder, it was decided that the kindest thing was to have him put to sleep to stop his suffering as even after having a barrage of tests the prognosis was very likely to not be in his favour. It didn't seem right to put him through all that for nothing.
Here are the photo's we received when we decided he would come and live with us here at Dazzlecats.
RIP special boy. Sorry we didn't have long with you but we loved you enough for a lifetime.
  Ragalyn Flamenco (Trinity) - 12/03/2007 - 10/11/2009
10/11/2009 Today we had to make the heartwrenching decision to allow Trinity to go to the Rainbow Bridge and to end her suffering. Sadly all three of Trinity's kittens that were born 8 weeks ago had died. Two from having malformed chest bones (flat chested kitten syndrome) and the other one due to not weaning properly.
We had also noticed that Trinity wasnt eating or drinking properly and had lost a vast amount of weight, we at first put this down to the trauma of losing her kittens but then realised there was something much more serious going on. After going to and from the vets for 5 days and Trinity being put on a drip to rehydrate her , her blood results finally came back and the readings indicated that she was in acute kidney failure. The vet said given the condition she was in due to not eating or drinking her chances of pulling through with the correct medication would be very slim and he personally would be inclined not to put her through any more trauma.
We took his advice and sadly Trinity was put to sleep to end her pain and suffering.
RIP you gorgeous girl. We miss you so much and just wish things could have been different but you didnt deserve to suffer like that. Your legacy still lives on in your beautiful daughter Faith. Sleep well with your babies and have lots of fun on the Rainbow Bridge darling.
 Dazzlecats Tru Purrfection (Tula) - 17/03/2009 - 22/04/2011
22/04/2011 Today we heard the very sad news that our darling Tula had had to be put to sleep. She'd been violently ill for a few days with an unknown illness and despite the vets and her new owners (Julie and Myke) efforts it was the best thing for her to be laid to rest. Tula had left us 7 months ago to be a valuable part of Myke and Julie's solid breeding programme at Snoozicoonz. Sadly this didnt happen though and Tula has left a big void in a lot of people's hearts.
Rest in peace special girl. You might not have been with us here in person but you were certainly always here in spirit. You live on in your babies that you did have and will always be remembered fondly.
