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 to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers.

Willow

Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

Willow came in to the rescue centre where I was working having had come from a house of 30 cats. Unfortunately the others cats from her home were too ill and either died or needed to be put to sleep.Willowe was booked in as a kitten but in fact was a kitten in kitten! I fell in love with her immediately and after she had her kittens Willow came home with me. She became my sole mate and at one point when I reached a particular low, she became my only reason for being. Willow was my shining light and I loved her with every bit of my heart and sole.

Sadly Willow only had five years with us. After becoming acutely ill one moringing she was admitted to the vets as an emergency. Sadly the following morning when I went to visit her and the vet and I decided that the time had come to let her rest in peace. She was just 6 years old. Letting her go was the single most difficult thing I have ever done and left me completely broken. Now I am thankful that I met and loved this cat who was one in a million. Everyone who met Willow adored her. She was small, cuddly, talkative, persuasive and just gorgeous. A little bit like some other cats I now know.

I know there are good people looking after her now and and she has others treasured friends to play with.

They are all there, all in those meadows just beyond Rainbow Bridge.

God Bless you Willow and all that are there with you.
Until we meet again run free.
