Beautiful, Gentle Maggie

We had to say goodbye to our beautiful Maine Coon, Maggie, on January 6, 2023 after she developed Hemangiosarcoma which is an aggressive cancer of the blood vessels.

It is very rare in cats. Maggie spent her last few months exploring in the back yard, sitting in her favorite chair on the screened porch and sleeping under the UGA Christmas tree.

She is greatly missed and forever loved.

Beautiful Bogie

Rest easy Beautiful Boy... Bogie 12-12-06 to 2-3-23

Last night we said Goodbye to our Sweet Bogie. Our Super 16 yr old senior always gave us unconditional love, challenges with mischief mixed in, unending snuggles and always a best friend and source of comfort.

He loved laying in the sun, he was better than an alarm clock to tell me it was time to eat, donuts (thanks to my Mom), catnip in his ball or any toy or shaking his paw for treats.

Getting belly rubs.. He Loved Grace and recently his new friend Scurry the Feral who adopted us.

He was our guard panther in a cat costume and our friends truly understand this. We’ve been blessed by having him in our life and are so much better for it.

We will love and miss you always and you are taking a piece of our hearts with you Sweet Boy. 💔

My Beautiful Prince Fluffalot

KA fluffy. We lost him at ten years old last year, heart failure.

He was the most characterful cat, he fetched, chatted away and always got into everything I was doing.

He cuddled up to me every single night and woke me up every morning with kisses. I miss him so much.

Miss Ivylou

Miss Ivy was the love of my life. I adopted her as a baby as she needed special care from her situation.

We bonded a true bond. She was my soulmate and the love of my life. She traveled everywhere with me.

She was loving and kind. Super friendly. She loved everyone she met. She stuck by my side through thick and thin. She wanted to be near me every minute of every day.

I live in rural area. She had been sickly on and off with stomach issues. No one ever seemed too worried.

I finally took her to a pet hospital as I knew something was wrong and they found she had a massive tumor in her stomach. It was too late.

I cared for her for 2 months and on December 13, 2021 I found her laying on the floor in the early morning when she had been in bed with me.

I picked her up and wrapped her up and she died in my arms at the young age of 8.

My heart hurts to this day I miss her so much. There is a hole in my heart for my sweet little Miss Ivylou.

Sweet Silly Sully

Our world stopped on January 14, 2022 when we lost our beloved Sully (Sullivan) to HCM.

He had a heart attack in my arms at the tender age of 5 years old. He was such a good boy who was loved by all he met. He was silly and always knew when someone needed to be cheered up.

You are always in our hearts sweet boy until we meet again in Heaven. Love you always.

Who Rescued Who😹 Makita

by Lee Misiora
(Belleville, Mi. USA)

I named my Coonie- Makita.
Sad to say he passed away afer 20 years. Someone told me a litter of kitten we dumped down the road. He found his way to our house across a cemetery, a highway, 2 huge ditches and a field.His ears were so full of mites.

We cleaned him up and he was part of our family. He was the tamest-wildcat you ever seen. Several people who came over said-That Cat is a Main Coon!

I was a dog person, never around a cat before. I soon realize Makita was No ordinary cat. He would play and chase me like a dog, climb trees 80' tall and come down head first. He would go in the swimming pool, shower and pond. Hunt mice, rabbits, squirrels, snakes, birds and once brought a deer leg home, someone probably poached.

So many stories and memories. I believe He saved My Life.

Amber

My Beautiful Amber, June 28, 1998 - October 19, 2019

Amber was born in my back yard, June 28th of 1998. Her mom was a feral cat that had chosen to live in my back yard. Her dad was I'm pretty sure all Maine Coon. I only saw him once, I think he must have gotten out of someone's house. Amber looked exactly like him.

Amber's mom had two daughters that lived with her, and the three had kittens all around the same time, so Amber had nine litter mates. All the moms took turns nursing each others kittens.

Amber had a twin that looked just like her, only bigger, a male. He died as a kitten, had gotten sick outside and was too young to save. Another of the kittens was killed outside, I never saw the animal that did it. Other kittens were adopted, or a couple had disapeared early. I ended up taking in Amber with three other kittens, and spaying the moms.

Amber lived with her siblings (who were all short haired cats) in my house for years. The other cats passed away at different times over the years, but Amber lived to be 21, and passed away October 19th of 2019.

My husband and I loved Amber very much. She used to sit on the couch in between us, and took turns being petted by me and my husband. She was beautiful, (and I think she knew it!)!
