Arrival Story:
A wild cat had her kittens in my garage. Tigger was a striped cutie, but didn't like people. One day, I was able to catch her and held her until she settled down. She has been mine ever since.

Bio:
She follows me around the house, talking to me. She sits on my lap on the couch and sleeps on my pillow by my head every night. She is terrified of new people, so most people who come over have never seen her. After a few days, however, she'll start socializing. She was born in Florida, but has moved with me every time the Army relocated my husband. She's been to Washington, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alaska, and back to Florida.

Tigger Has Gone To The Rainbow Bridge

After 18 years of being my sweet companion, Tigger has gone to the rainbow bridge.

Her kidneys have been failing for quite some time and the vet said months ago that it was just a matter of time. Over the past few weeks, she had gotten painfully skinny and was having bouts of vomitting and would sway back and forth when she sat upright.

The whole family had made a point of saying their goodbyes over the past week and we had thought we would have to make her decision for her.

This morning, we gave her a bowl of water and left for work and school. When we came home this evening, she wouldn't come out when she was called. After looking all over the house in her favorite nap spots, I found her "asleep" under my bed. She looked so peaceful and beautiful.

Our hearts are broken and there is a huge hole that time will never fill. The only thing that makes it any easier is knowing that she is in a better place and that I'll see her again someday.
