Thank you Spooky

Thank you Spooky for choosing us to be your last home. Your original Mom who went to Heaven 10 years ago always said you were “a love” and I can’t think of a better description for you. You truly were a love and we will miss you forever.

  1. Mom and I both have broken hearts at your loss of dear Spooky. He fought hard to stay but I think he was just too tired to keep going. He’s in such a wonderful place now where he can keep close watch on you…….and he’s in that little warm spot in your heart forever and ever. We know you are beyond sad…….just remember all of us are there with you………..

    Love, Sammy and Mom Pam

  2. Spooky, we are beyond sorry buddy and we send our sincerest sympathies to your mom, dad & family. We know you tried ever so hard to hang on, but we also know, sometimes St Francis knows best, and he has other plans for us.

  5. So sorry to hear about Spooky’s passing ! My 17 yer old Buddy died of kidneyy disease back in January, and she fought too. Spooky knew he was loved so much, and his previous owner will have met him and started loving on him !

  42. Thank you, Spooky, for the many years of love you gave to Ellen and your family We heard a lot of good things about you, including how brave you are the last weeks. She was as lucky to know and love you as you to love her. I know you are looking down and keeping the place warm in her heart that you occupied when you were on earth….and that she will always have that warm place for you.

    R.I.P., dear Sppoky, and lastly, may you find a lot of tasty spring bugs up there that you can chase around and eat. They don’t let us indoor cats do much of that down here on earth….
