Ashley
Ashley, along with her sisters were found walking the streets alone in the downtown area in August of 2012. Ashley and her sister Winona were adopted by a wonderful family who has an older cat, and two dogs. They were home at last. Winona has found comfort with Stella, the older cat in the family, while Ashley loved the companionship of the dogs and the humans in her life. It is with great sadness that Ashley lost her battle after being diagnosed with FIP. Here is what her family had to say about their beloved Ashley. “My beautiful sweet Ashley crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 17, 2013 a month after she was diagnosed with FIP. She was a fearless and peaceful cat who loved all other souls - feline, canine, and human. This picture was her first and last Christmas. She spent many happy hours climbing up and down the tree. Her family misses her.


♥ Becky
Sadly, our little Becky unexpectedly passed over the Rainbow Bridge, 5/5/11, after a brief downturn in her “normal lifestyle”. The vet suspected liver infection and electrolyte imbalance and we brought her home to treat her, but as soon as we got her home, back in her space, she passed away. We’re sure at the Rainbow Bridge she’s met up with her little brother, Pumpkin, who passed away in ‘07 at only 1 month of age, with the same odd medical condition, before we knew as much about controlling it. It’s certain the two of them are happy to be reunited and seizure-free, and are playing, especially tag - something Becky never was able to learn to do. They always loved each other as kittens, and they’ll be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for the rest of their litter siblings, who were healthy; for Dan, Janice and Ann who always tried so hard to take good care of Becky; and for all the kind folks who supported Becky through the years, always wishing her the best. May every moment for Becky now be nothing but healthy and fun. Sept 01, 2007 - May 5, 2011


Reisling
Reisling, one of our 13th St Cats "long term" special needs kitties, went to Rainbow Bridge at 2.5 years of age (10/8/10), for an FELV kitty that's a pretty long life. Considering all he went through in his short life -born to mom with FELV; trapped off the street; dislocated hip injury and then rear paralyzed for 6 months; and finally with what appeared to be a large chest/spine tumor growth - he was still always kind and easy to handle and help. Dr. Rusher eased his path that Friday Oct 8th evening, at the only forever home he'd ever known - ours. He was always an awesome cat and loved people and other cat company. Loving to the end, he has left his pawprint on our hearts, and we'll miss his cheery presence, as no matter what, he always greeted us happily everytime he saw us. But he is now free to run again, to chase mice, and lie in the sun, out of FELV grips at the Rainbow Bridge; and I bet he's already found his sister Merlot (adopted, but passed away last October) and brother Chablis (who died at only 4 months) to play with, as he was such a social kitty..... wait... I think I see them all chasing butterflies now........... 7/24/08 - 10/8/10


Jack
Jack was found wandering a neighborhood when someone noticed he had an wounded eye and asked us to help. His injured eye needed to be removed and his foster home nicknamed him - "One eye'd Jack". He was a very sweet and friendly boy, who clearly deserved a much better life than wandering the streets alone.
Sadly and unexpectedly, Jack developed a growth on his jawbone which was pushing on his windpipe. Given his FIV+ status, the difficult decision was made that it was best not to put him through any more stress or treatments.
Though he wasn't with us long, his foster home misses him dearly, and so do his foster roomate kitty-friends.
It's nice 13th St Cats was able to give him what turned out to be his last months off the streets, in less pain, and a comfortable living situation he seemed to enjoy.


Homie
Words cannot express the sadness of losing Homie. He was a very special kitty to his foster mom. Losing him was very difficult and she misses him dearly.
