Our beloved mascot, who passed away November 26th, 2005.

Jesus saw Lilly suffering that day. A very special cat, she was caught in a steel trap. So Jesus sent an angel to pass her way. Lilly was to be rescued. Jesus had a plan to unlay. He knew of a shelter that was to have this stray. She would nurture orphaned kittens. She would be a shining ray. She would adopt Tiny Tim, and make him her own. She would greet the visitors,and for a quarter make herself known. She was our precious funny friend, who ate our Doritos while we were on the phone. Lil became ill, her life was fading away. The volunteers love and prayers could not hold death at bay. Jesus had an assignment for Lilly to obey. "Lilly," Jesus called and she heard him say, "I need you in the meadow to teach my kittens how to play. The butterflies are flying, and they're all getting away." "I'm coming Jesus." Lilly replied. "But first I must tell Tiny and the volunteers not to cry. They must trust Jesus. You know best, and you know why! I will be in your hearts forever. I will always be nearby. I hear Jesus calling, I must be on my way. Goodbye dear Tiny and family, til we meet at the bridge one day."

Seeley was born 4-4-04 and died on 11-5-07. He had an undiagnosed heart valve problem. He was 3 and 1/2 years old. He loved to "talk" and was playfully active until theday before he was called to the Rainbow Bridge. He will be missed by his biological brother & his adopted siblings, as well as his "mom & dad" and all who knew him.

Our beloved Jillian passed away on 3-4-08. She had been with us for a very long time along with her sister Tabitha. She ruled the roost as one of our basement cats. She would pretend to be tough, but when you picked her up she would purr and talk to you. Sadly, cancer took her from us far too soon. She is missed by her whole family of volunteers.

Our dear, sweet Patrick passed away from renal failure on April 22, 2008. He was a joy to have around and made everyone smile. He was toothless, bow-legged, and beat up, but just a big old marshmallow inside. It made us laugh to watch him walk up to us with those bow-legs and toothless grin. He started out in one foster home and was later moved to our cat farm when it was obvious he needed to be outside. He spent his last months laying out on the deck in the sun and spending time in his cat condo with his girlfriend. He is greatly missed by both foster families and his cat family on the farm. Rest in peace, our sweet Patrick.

Bernie's family writes... Bernie was the greatest gift we received from Touched By A Paw. He came to the cat farm after being at the shelter for years. He quickly became a family favorite. He warmed our hearts and laps while he was with us. Bernie is greatly missed.

Toby was a gentle giant. He came into the shelter starving and skeletal and then went on to more than make up for his earlier lack of food. He became a big old boy and was happiest when he went to our cat farm and could run around with his "posse". Toby passed away in his sleep in May of 2008 and is missed by his foster famliy and all his friends on the cat farm.

Farley and Frannie were with us for far too short a time. They came to us small and injured and it was discovered that they had a rare bone disease. Sadly, they were never able to grow up and experience a full life. But we know the time that they had with their foster mom they were loved and cared for and that's more than some animals ever get to have.
