In loving memory of
LaLa
LALA aka (nana-moo, moo-moo,
princess, snugly-moo) she was part of our family
for over 4 years, living the life of a princess,
a truly loved kitty and will be missed dearly,
her passing has broken both of our hearts. she
will always be loved and remembered.
Sheba
Sheba came into my life 13 ½ years ago when
she was 2 years old, very malnourished and
run down. She had been used as a puppy mill
but was no longer wanted.
When we first brought her home she was
terrified of everything and I spent our
first 48 hours just laying beside her on a
lounge on our patio. The door bell scared
her, the phone ringing, the TV. She was
frightened of men and plastic bags still
remained her biggest fear all her life. The
children of the previous owner thought it
fun to put them over her head and let her
run around terrified.
Over the years she overcame all her fears
and was my constant companion, always at my
feet no matter where I moved in the house.
She loved me without conditions and I her.
She was a friend who would comfort me when I
needed it, listen to me, made me smile when
I was down, and trusted me with her life.
I
have lost my best friend and constant
companion today May 25, 2009. She will live
forever in
my heart.
Sadly missed by Gail and Terry Law.
Shadow
Shadow succumbed last evening 28 August
2009. Abandoned
by her owners in her senior years. She
was found running loose in Trenton with her
sister Maggie. Her owners soon after called
Animal control to say they were no longer
wanted. Shadow went to live with Paul
and Nedi Sweeney (Sheba Foundation) who
gave her the care and the love she needed in
the last months of her life.
Mouche
Mouche (Bugsy) passed away suddenly this past
week from a congenital heart defect. Adopted to
wonderful people along with his 2 brothers over
a year ago. Described as a real character who
was a wonderful companion for his owner!
Brinley
This very special boy lived for many months in a
shelter before he was rescued by Michelle and
her family. A very large battled scarred boy who
won the hearts of everyone he came into contact
with. Thanks to Michelle and her family Brinley
spent the last years of his life truly loved.
Charlie Boy
Simba
Simba and his brother Charlie boy were
beloved
family members. Both are sadly missed.
Sebastian
Sebastian Croxford 2003 - 2008
Sebastian lived a short but quality filled life. He was deeply loved by his Human Mommy Sue and all of his Canine brothers and sisters. He will be greatly missed by all.
Tuffy Tims
Tuffy Tims (aka: My Babe, Little One, Boo) March 28, 1994 - April 19, 2007 My beautiful, gentle, little Tuffy... You made my heart smile Little One, each and every day of your precious life. From the moment I was chosen by you, my life changed forever, and will never be the same again, now that you have passed. There is now just a great void, and there will always be an empty place within, that will never be filled. You will always be with me, My Babe, held dearly to my heart, until we meet once again, at the Rainbow Bridge. I love you Boo (always, always) and miss you terribly.
Mommy
Tiggy
Tiggy was an incredible cat. She lived at the corner of our street in Toronto and as a typical cat didn't like chaos.
So when they were making a new road she moved up to our house. When they were finished, she stayed.
We would return her and back she came. We were moving to Brighton and the house was packed up and there she was waiting by the boxes. Her original owner gave us permission and along she came. She was an outdoor cat and such a sweet, loving animal that one wonders if her soul was of someone we knew. She died of Thyroid Cancer at the age of 22.There's an old tombstone somewhere that reads "Heaven will never heaven be, unless my critters are there to greet me!"
We'll miss her always.
HOLLY
Holly and her brother Nick came to us 8 years ago. Tiny little balls of fur that sat on the palm of your hand. They had been found abandoned in a barn. A kind couple looked after them & eventually they made their way to our house. Holly was a long hair, rather shy but very gentle. Nick has always been more adventuresome & daring. With the stability of a loving home, they turned into adorable members of our family.
We noted problems with Holly about a year ago. Tests at that time showed nothing. This past spring things escalated & an ultrasound was done by a veterinarian from Hamilton. A huge tumour was found in her bladder. Nothing could be done. Medication was tried but to no avail. She appeared in no discomfort what so ever even with her disease & became far more loveable. One day we noticed that she was in dire distress. Immediately we went to our vet. On July 24/06 Holly lost her battle with cancer. Our home is empty without her, but she will forever be in our heats. As I told her (and my other pets), you are the lucky ones!
Like the song by Wynona Judd "You WERE Loved".
Jeff came to us as a Stray. We had never owned a cat but something in the way he looked
at us won us over. From the start he had endless hurdles to overcome. He had a severe upper
Respiratory infection and a badly fractured left leg. The fractures were so severe his leg had to be amputated.
Despite the disability he was very active and went on to live a very productive 3 years. He was able to run and jump and lounge in the sun chasing bugs under his favorite tree with a special harness in tow. He would come to be buried under the tree he loved so much. He eventually succumbed to an overactive Thyroid and an enlarged heart. We will never forget this very special boy who opened our eyes to how specials cats are. As a result we have opened our doors to many more strays and Fixed "Fur" Life was formed to try and end the plight of Stray animals and end Pet Over population.

Max
Max's life started with incredible neglect and abuse. His owner would go away and lock him in a
small dirty bathroom for a week at a time with little or no food. He was often cold , hungry and alone. When his owner was home
he was traumatized daily by a young child who rarely had supervision and had zero respect for animals. When rescued by his new owner he was very ill with a bowel obstruction and malnutrition. He endured a bowel resection and shortly after was diagnosed with Diabetes. He went on to live 7 more years under the diligent care and love of his new parents. His final years were very pampered and he was finally given the life he deserved. He succumbed to kidney failure in the end but left this world feeling very loved!
