It took me this long to be able to post....

Io passed away after multiple surgeries to fix his eyes. He had issues besides his eyes and was much loved.

He adored kittens and was a totally mellow boy. I will miss him every day of my life but I know he is sighted and happy at the Bridge.

I'm so sorry to hear about Io but he can see perfectly now and is able to enjoy playing and snoozing w/kittens at the bridge. RIP, sweet Io.

Thank you and I am so sorry for all the Io lovers to be this late in posting.it just hurt too much. His life meant alot to many people, not just ours.

He was much loved and is so missed by all the other critters. He was a gentle boy.

Awwww...perfect sink kitty, I love his back footsies in the 3rd photo. :)

I am truly so sorry for your loss, Kym. You KNOW he had a better life and chance at your house than anywhere else - but the heart overrules the brain here, and rightly so.

I don't know what his other issues were, but I hope he did go while "under", and I have no doubt he is running at the Bridge and looking down upon you and Jas with loving eyes.

{{{{hugs}}}}

Awwww....I am so sorryto hear this Kym!! You can see now Io, Play hard at the rainbow Bridge, and Guide all the others that follow.:(

Io Is In Tuscon With The Pet Angel Army Now, Surrounded By Kittens In The Outdoor Patio Of El Paseo, Having Nachos , Wings And Chicken And Sharing His Meal With The All.
Hes Such A Dear Cat, And We Love That Photo Of The Cat In The Bag.
And We Know That Ios Searching For A Nice Place Where You Can Share A Fine Supper Together When The Day Comes, Years From Now, When You Are Reunited In Love.
One Fine Day.

Candace he died in our arms and not under..........

He was thrown from a car at 6 weeks old and had some nerve damage besides his eye issues, he literally went to sleep after a sucessful surgery and just stopped purring.

He will and is missed, I know he is thrilled with Lex joining as he used to sit on my lap while I while talked to breeders and rescues, to be honest I think he brought her here.

I'm very sorry.

Rest in Peace sweet Io.

Oh, Kym...I was hoping for 'under' as I was hoping it was peaceful.

But in his human's arms, purring, dozing off...he felt safe and loved...what peace

wish I could give you a big hug now.

LES

Thank you Candace and everyone else. he was loved and I think he knew that. I truly think that is why he chose to pass here at home as oppossed to at the "whitecoats".


I took us more than 24 hours before we buried him, and I must be honest If it had been up to me he wouldn't have been. He is happy and safe now and now I have LES.

:( So sorry of the loss of this wittle one.. May the RB / PT angels be caring this baby to Corinna's arms for more love & comfort.. This wittle one will always be in our hearts as comfort & warmth..

Sweet Io brought somthing special to your home. And he also received so much from all of you. Now he is happy and running free, chasing birds, squirrels and butterflies at the Bridge. I am sorry for your loss, Kym.

Dear, sweet, SPECIAL, Io. Your purrents wanted so much for you. And one day, when you meet them again, you can give them all the love that you will be saving up until your reunion.


RIP Io. You will be missed.

Io was a very special boy. He came into your life because you were both special and belonged together.

RIP sweet Io.

I am so sorry to hear about Io. May he RIP, fully sighted now. He didn't have to see perfectly to know your love....

I'm so sorry to hear about Io. But I'm happy that he's at the bridge playing with friends, waiting for the day that you will be reunited.

Good-bye, Io. You were much loved.

Kym and family, I am sorry to hear about your loss.
RIP Io.

Thank you all......... I know Io had many loves here on PT. Again I am sorry it took so long but still I get LES just thinking that he won't be in my sink, that he won't be the one to clean all the kittens, and I am ashamed to say it but I still feel him on the bed at night. I know it is nuts, but I do.

He's there, Kym. Absolutely. :)

Oh my..... serious LES here. Sweet Io.... he knew the best kind of love any kitty could know. I know that you are missing him.... and I know that he IS on your bed, sleeping and watching over you.

RIP sweet Io, RIP. (((hugs))) to you Dr. Goodnow.

Kym, I'm so sorry to hear about IO's passing.:( RIP sweet boy.:(

I am so sorry for your loss Kym..((hugs)) :(

Rest in peace Io

I'm so sorry about Io. Every foster home needs a kitty uncle. He'll be a kitty uncle to all the perpetual kittens at the Rainbow Bridge.

Aw Kym and Jas -- so sorry to hear about IO :(

Oh Kym, I'm SO sorry you have lost Io, he seemed such a lovely kitty. I hope it will be a comfort for you that he knew how loved he was. He will be with you in spirit.

Rest in Peace, sweet IO, you were one of a kind and will always be remembered!

(((((big hugs)))))

Io knows that he was loved, and you will see him again one day!! He can now see @ the RB, and is playing with all of the other RB kitties. RIP Io

Sleep softly, sweet ORANGEMAN Io(please look for my Ralph Syracuse at the Bridge)...

Dear, sweet Io, his eyes bright and shining, is washing all the kittens at the bridge now. Ahh. bliss.
But he is waiting for you, for that grand reunion. One Fine Day.

with my health and my issues I welcome the One fine day....

I'm so sorry for your loss. Io was a beautiful kitty.

These losses are so difficult. I hope in time that a softness creeps in around your pain - and only the sweet times together will be remembered.
