In Memory...
...of all SCOOP cats who have passed away and now live in our hearts. We miss them.
Toby (Wobes), 10/4/1996 - 5/21/2009
One in a million. You took our hearts with you and every single day you're in our thoughts. Things are not the same without you, sweet girl.

Izzy (Bowey), 1996 - 2/10/2009
Our sweet, funny, and handsome boy. You fought every illness that came your way with such dignity. We miss you and love you so much.
"Grief makes one hour ten." William Shakespeare
Hope, 1996(?) - 3/12/2008
Our beautiful and sensitive girl. One day I looked at a very sad and scared face and said, "There's always hope, sweet girl." You were then our "Hope." You suffered at the hands of extremely cruel people, yet came to trust again. Thank you for loving us.
"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more elequently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love." Washington Irving
Oscar, 2002(?) - 11/21/2007
Our very shy yet lovable boy. We will never visit your window without seeing your handsome face rubbing against the glass. You will never be forgotten.
"Tears are the silent language of grief." Voltaire
Lil, October 2008 (?) - 8/26/2009
Little Lil, forever a beautiful kitten. Lil, your life was so brief, your memory so huge. We miss you more than words can say. We're honored that you and your sweet mom chose us to love and care for you both.

A handsome feral boy whose daily visits we will always miss.

Markie, 6/2007 - 11/29/2007
Little Markie, fostered for Cat-Tales Rescue and loved very much in her brief time she was with us. She broke our hearts and will always be remembered.
"Grief remains one of the few things that has the power to silence us." Anna Quindlen
Joey, ? - 1-26-2010
Joey, with us just 16 months, but he touched many people's hearts in that brief time. Not expected to live the night when rescued--neglected to the point of near death--yet loved everyone he met. Joey is missed so much.
