Pebble came to us from a farm a few days after we moved to our house with two very young children. Despite the noise and frequent attempts to hug her, Pebble enjoyed being with the family, following us from room to room, coming out into the garden to lie on the patio when we were outside and sitting in the upstairs window waiting to see when we were back.

Pebble liked people, rolling over to be tickled under her chin, sitting on any lap she could find, or playing peepoo, to which she would always meow, when you came back into view. She responded to all our silly names for her, Peb, Mrs Peb, Pebatron, Pebber-dib-dab-doo, the list was endless, she always knew what we meant, especially if it accompanied the opening of of tuna can or a rattle of the dreamies bag.

We will miss Pebble but are glad the research and learning is taking place to develop the next generation of vets.

Maddie came to us at 14 weeks, her first adoptive family couldn’t cope with her persistent meowing when she was shut in a room at night. She was with us for 17 glorious years, continuing to protest if she wasn’t included. This picture demonstrates her complaining at the slowness of the “servants” she kept: “come on, hurry up and open that door!”

My loving and caring loyal cat who I loved dearly he had a good life with me giving him everything what a cat could ever want.

Our beautiful, big, fluffy Spartacus was with us for nearly 7 years.  Spartacus was not always the easiest Maine Coon to have around – he could be a little grumpy and unpredictable at times.  The family, his sister – Smokey, and all our dogs – Woody, Murphy and Ned learnt to approach him with caution and to make sure he was up for some interaction before getting too close. Despite his unpredictable nature he was a cat who loved to be loved – when it suited him!  He was not only big in size but big in character and was often mistaken for an escapee from the nearby zoo as he prowled around his territory.  Spartacus was a much loved cat whose presence is much missed.
Surprisingly, when he went to the vets, Spartacus was very well behaved, so it felt fitting to donate him for educational research.  We hope he will make a difference.

Rollie was the best cat anyone could ask for. So intelligent and intuitive. He understood how I felt, read every emotion and supported me through some tough times. Such a beautiful soul. I know he is having the best time in cat heaven.
