Thanks for honoring her with me. We are so sorry for your loss. We know that she will never forget you for the kindness, love and care that you gave her. And we know that she will always have a special place your heart as well. With purrs of comfort to you and your family, Skylar and family We are very sad to hear about Momma Ivey. She knew how much you loved her and even after all she'd been through, she was able to show you great love. That is such a blessing. We send our love and comfort to you. Tigger and Family Oh my gosh, I'm so, so, sorry. Actually, I'm shocked. I'm like Milo, speechless and hurting for you. What they said is true, you did give her the best life she could ever wish for. I know it wasn't long enough but for her it was. I'm so sorry. I will get in touch with the wing maker for you, don't worry about a thing. Love you. I pray for you and your family tonight. May the angels comfort you in your times of trouble. We are sorry that your furry spawsial Moma Ivey had to go to her eternal reward of beautifur wings, today. You will miss her here upon earth, but she will always remember the wonderfur kindnesses you showed to her. She knew she was loved. Hugs and kitty purrs to all of you who now feel so sad and have that empty spot in your hearts. May it be filled with the many treasured memories she made, even in such a short time. Fly freely, sweet Moma Ivey, fly free! Pipo, Minko & Meowmy Ingrid PS: Our angel furblings were there in the welcoming lineup... OMG, I'm in so much shock right now! I'm so sorry! I hope you know in your heart that since you took her in, she was loved and more happy then she'd ever been in her life. I know you're time was too short, believe me I understand about that. Oh I'm so sorry, I just feel so badly for you. This is really a shock. We are all very sorry - this was so unexpected, as she was finally fitting in and being happy like a kitten again. I guess this is something to be grateful for, that before the end, she got to experience that happiness and sense of youth after such a hard life. She will be remembered. - With love, Samhain, Sleeper, Fearless and the Mama We're in shock too and crying with you tonight. Will say more later...so awful! Luv, Barbara, Tink & Snow Thanks everyone for your prayers, support and comfort. Thanks Zoe for taking care of getting in touch with the wing maker. Ever since she has been free to roam with the rest of the kitties she has been right by my side. Everythng I do tonight reminds me of her. If she hear me talking in sadnes or frustration she would get up from where she was and come to me and get as close to as she could if I was laying down she would get on my shoulder. Just the other day she finally found her way to the spot on my legs (as I lay on my back with my feet crossed) right where my skids used to lay. This is always so hard to do. I feel like I need to go find out where she is because it is just not right that she is not here with me (sad smile) We're here for you, we know how much this hurts. Oh my gosh, we were also shocked seeing this diary. We're so, so sorry about the sudden loss of beloved moma Ivey. She was blessed that you took her in and gave her a loving home and all the care she needed. Sending gentle purrs and love to all of you... Hugs, Gump & family We are so sorry and sad to hear this news about Moma Ivey. Please accept our heartfelt condolences and know you are in our purrs and prayers. Love, Tully & Family Dear Ivey's Mom, I am so shocked and sad. I know all too well how you feel right now. I have been where you are. I hope you find comfort in all the love and support here. We care and we are here for you. You gave your precious Ivey love and because of you she knew how good life can be..I am so sorry you didn't have more time with her. Love and hugs Eva Alfie's mom Mommy saw this news a few hours ago, but she couldn't think of anything to post when she read it, she was so shocked, so sad. She still doesn't have anything she feels fitting to say but we just had to let you know we are so very sorry. Moma Ivey was a beautiful kitty who you gave a second chance to, we were so certain things were going to work out. We're so sorry for all of you, we're purring today for you and your whole family. Fly free at the bridge beautiful Ivey, the rainbow bridge is a more glorious beautiful place today because of your radiance. I'm so sorry to hear this. It is so good that you gave her a home. I'm sending y'all lots purrs. Fly free Moma Ivey. I'm so sorry to hear this. :( Thank you for giving her such a wonderful home so she could know love. Sending all our love your way. We are sorry to hear this too, but we are glad she had the experience of a nice home before she had to go. :( This is daddy We all are stunned be the news, and are shaking our heads in disbelief. You did a wonderful thing for her,and she went knowing what love was, and that she was loved, very much. Please know we are here for you, just a p-mail away. Momma Ivey, fly free and easy, sweet girl.You left a big pawprint in everyones hearts. You will never be forgotten. Purrs from Daddy, and the crew OMC!!! I am so stunned, and saddened by your loss.. My words can not convey how deeply sorry I am for you, my friend. She was lucky to have found such a great home, with a great family before she went to the bridge. What happiness she knew, came from you! What love she felt, came from you! Big Hugs to you & your family!! Love & Purrs, Dante & Dexter To Momma Ivey's Mom-from the Kew Gardens Cats Mom, I'm in shock. Last year, my sister's beloved Pat the Buttercat went to the Bridge very suddenly. He was fine, my sister went into the other room, heard a strange little 'yaah' and came back into the kitchen and found him gone. Our hearts are with you. There is no way to say how we feel here-and I can't imagine how devestating it is for you. I can only say you gave Momma Ivey a wonderful life. A life she wouldn't have had when you took her in and 'bought her in from the cold'. I believe Momma Ivey completed her mission, and perhaps, on some other spiritual level, she was needed elsewhere, perhaps to guide from above....sometimes there just aren't answers. She didn't suffer. She had a wonderful life. Sometimes, we just have to count the moments...and remember that our babies are with us for whatever time our paths and theirs lie together. It's small comfort, but know, truly, that you are a Saint, and in bringing Momma Ivey in from the cold, you score brownie points in heaven. This, I know, I am sure of. And I know, absolutely, that you will see her again. love, Debbie, Jim, and the Kew Gardens Cats. Oh, Ivey's mom, I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. You and the dad are such wonderful people to have taken such good care of Ivey and her kittens. My name is Ivey, I'm a tough lass it's true I've roamed and I've taken on far harder cats than you, I'm a lovely little lass with a sweet little heart I love my new mom and my fur sibs...well, with them, it's a start I never meant to be mean, it's just I had to survive On mean streets and cold strees for I lived outside And defended my patch in order to eat Whatever I found, you know meat was a treat And My name is Ivey, I've always held my own From the street to the avenue the alley my home But I keep myself clean even though I'm thin You never just know the place you'll find yourself in I've had a family, several, its true With pretty colors like me Orange, and tangerine in every hue My boys, ah so handsome, my girls lovely as can be Some were lucky to find homes, some still wander free But ah, life is hard, when you live on the streets Theres some days that went by with not much to eat I made sure my young ones knew how to survive But I great ever thinner I was down to 4 lives... And then, well, they found me, They had one of my kits Who'd grown up with lots of love And the perks that come with Having a home, where you're loved and your fed And they took me in, yep thats what I said And I become 'Momma' Ivey, it's true I was tough With even my own kits, you see, it was rough To believe someone would want me, that someone would care It was a pure miracle, the answer to a prayer And I lived, and I learned and I ate with the best A warm place to live and a safe place to rest With warm kind words, and petting galore Ah, my sweet mom, it's you I adore And I learned to share, I learned to thrive This little ex straycat who once only survived I found my own family, and I found my Purr In the words of Orange Ruffy-yep Miracles Occur! Now, Mommy, you'll know that yesterday I passed along I am so sorry Mommy-but I'm not really gone I didn't know it was my time, but I had to go when I was called But please know I love you-you see you are my all I promise you Mommy, please never doubt, You taught me about love which is what life is about I was so torn, a part of me didn't want to leave But then I know it's bigger than us-and I know you believe And someday....when you least know it, I'll wander in again, in a different fur coat but the same face But til then.... My name is still Ivey, and I've left a legacy Of the best and brightest kits-and all a family could be. For Ivey.....you taught us joy-we are so glad your family bought you in from the cold love, Orange Ruffy may God grant yur mom N dad peace in their hearts, N comfort them in noe ing ewe reside now in de kingdom oh heaven; along side skids, alley, God, Jesus, St Francis and a multi tood oh friends.....may yur mom N dad noe thiz iz knot good bye, merely; until we meet again...love frum dude at Rb cloud 777313, boomer, dai$y, tuna N sauce Ruffy, thank you for that. It is truly beautiful. That last line really touched Mommy. You see, in some way, all kitties and all mommies and daddies have been "brought in from the cold" in one way or another. Especially my mommy and she remembers it well. A passage in our lives from dark into light. We can all relate so well to Ivey, if only because we're glad it wasn't us left out in the cold this time. We all also feel deeply emotional knowing so many others are out there and never get their chance. We see all the commercials. Then we see this one family in our midst who made room and did the right thing by a trapped, homeless animal with no future, and it gives us hope. We must focus only on one animal at a time. The situation is tragic, but if many of us all over the world take it one animal at a time, it will make a difference. Ivey and her family reinforce this lesson purrsonally for us. Thank you for that. So very very sorry,momma is feeling your pain today,i left for the bridge 3 weeks ago so she knows how your momma is feeling,i am sending you comforting purrs and i will be there at the bridge to help moma ivey settle in.

Purring for you today! I am so very sorry for your loss. My beautiful little Alfie went to the bridge on 4th January he was 16 weeks old. I don't know when I will stop crying. You are in my thoughts and prayers I know just what you are going through. Thanks, Orange Ruffy for writing that lovely poem for Moma Ivey. Hugs to you, Moms of Angel Soc and Alfie. Meowmy too, lost a kitty in the month of January (2004) (Toki), & Simba passed away without any warning, too. It is always harder when we don't have any time to 'get ready to say our goodbyes'. Big hugs too, to your mommy, Ivey, and to your furmily, too. We extend our condolences. Purrs! As Mom's eyes are leaking too I am telling her what to say. We are so very sorry for your lose....it is never easy especially when you come home and they are gone...we lost a kitty without warning too, it broke Moms heart that she was alone, we think she had a heart attack, she was only 8.... Ivey was a lucky kitty to have you for her family and she had a nice home even if for a short time...she knows you loved her and she will always be with you. her paw prints have been left in many hearts. You are in our thoughts and prayers...fly free and we know our angel sister was there to meet her at the rainbow bridge. hugs Xena and family My kitty heart aches fur Ivey's family.

We send our condolences, sincere heartfelt condolences and will look uppa in the Sky tonight to see Ivey shining bright cuz sheeza star:) I am so grateful all the love an support, I know you all know truly how I feel. I know when I hear of a kitty passing, it makes me wish there was a way I could take their pain and move them to the place that the memories do not hurt so much. I think they way are are all here for each other helps make this time of grief bearable, there were many times today when I just wanted to come home and cry but I made it thru the day. This one is so different for me, as hard as it was to let got of my skids kitty and then alley, I had time to say good bye I knew they were leaving, even had to help them fly, the devastation feels greater this time.... thanks everyone I can feel your love and support. We just found out now. Like everyone else, we are so shocked and our hearts ache for you. We don't know what to say. You took her in and gave her a home and a good life--however brief her stay with you was. You made a very big difference in her life--one for which she was grateful. Sending our love along with gentle hugs and purrs that we hope will comfort you. Colette, Samsara, (Angel) Marrakech, (Angel) Misha & Mom Carol ...I heard from a furiend what happened...and just wanted to tell you what a lucky lil' kitty you were to find such a happy home, even if for a short while.... I know what it's like to be on the streets, too. I'm an Angel now, too...and I'll be happy to show you 'round the Nip Fields here at the Bridge...an' we can sit in the sunshine 'till we can be with our Mommas again. (((Ivey's mum))) Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. We didn't know until we saw little boy talk about it today in his diary. We are so sorry about sweet Moma Ivey. But you know you did a great thing for her to give her a loving home and to be with her own kitties. And she was grateful and thankful for having a home and being loved and cared for. You can just tell by the way she hung out with you that she KNEW what you have done for her. Just imagine if she would have died all alone outside. Thank you for taking such good care of her and you will see her again in heaven, for sure. Orange Ruffy, that poem is so beautiful. Mom and I are both in tears now. Big hugs to Moma Ivey's Mom. Oh no!! What have we all missed?! We are so sorry to hear of Moma Ivey's passing (Mom has tears balling up in her eyes). We know how much you all loved Moma Ivey, it was amazing how well Mona Ivey took to her new indoor home, even if it took the others a little longer to get used to it. I am glad she had a chance to be a loved house cat for the rest of your life. We are sending BIG purrs to you and to your family... We'll keep you all in our purrayers.
