Kuhio 1985~2002

[AbbyMom]

Although I've never mentioned it before, Kuhio's story did prompt me to get Abby and Becky microchipped. They have never been outside and are afraid of the door. But for the price of two microchips I know that if for any reason they got outside and picked up, I could [hopefully] find them.

Play hard at the rainbow bridge, Kuhio. Your mommy and daddy miss you.

[Don Juan's mom]

I had Don Juan microchipped after a sad (if less tragic) case in our area involving a dog which had gotten loose and had been taken to the Humane Society. HS adopted the dog out, and would not rescind the adoption after the original owner found the dog there... leading to a lot of controversy and letters to the newspaper. (Eventually the owner did get the dog back.)

Zerlina was microchipped by Hopalong Animal Rescue, where I adopted her (through a Petsmart adoption center).

Please take comfort in knowing that Kuhio had a good long life with you, and that you honor her in caring for the kitties you have now.

I am not sure anyone's story has remained with me like Kuhio's. I often think of her, and you, way down here in the lower 48. You are a brave and strong person to carry this torch, for the benefit of those you have never met. May you, your family and Kuhio be happily reunited when the time is right.

Hugs,
Johanna

Kuhio's story also touches my heart. That was one of the saddest days on PT. I can only imagine what that day must have been like for you.
Kuhio was so dearly loved and definitely will not be forgotten.

I'm sure that Kuhio is looking down on you with pride knowing that you are helping other's to make sure that something like this never happens to another person's animal.

My heart truly goes out to you.

I'm glad you bumped this up. My dogs are microchipped, but my Butter is not........Mimi wasn't microchipped, either. As close as they stick to home, this is something that is necessary and I will take care of that, right away. I need Butter to be safe for a long, long time. I don't think I could stand to lose another beloved pet now.

I'm so glad that microchipping hasn't been a necessary thing for our family, but I do know that I would be so glad to have it if any of our 4 escaped.

Thank you for sharing that story. Being Quite new on Pet Talk I hadn't read it before and had no idea of Kuhios story. It has really made my heart break reading this. Both my cats are microchipped thank goodness.
All cats should be chipped, this is such a tragic story I don't think I will ever forget it.
At least Kuhio was loved and adored during the time she was alive.

Rest in Peace Kuhio, you are and always will be loved.

Happy 6th Bridge Anniversary!

Princess Kuhio ~ Your Dadcat and I hope that your 6th anniversary is a special one and that you have all the cheetos, nachos (jalapeno included, of course) that you could ever want.

We'll continue to tell the story of how we lost you. Hopefully, it has saved a few from your fate.

Whenever we lose a beloved PT pet, I am sure you are there to welcome them. Thank you.

What a heart breaking story!!! I was in tears reading it and I don't know how you got through it.
The way you have reached out to people with your suggestions about microchipping and searching for lost pets at shelters is a tribute to Kuhio. She was such a beautiful cat and I'm sure she does visit you and the cats that have been adopted since she went to the Bridge.
My thoughts are with you today.
