I know your little one was welcomed at the Rainbow Bridge by many of the angels that went before him. I know too that one day you will be together again.

I know how much you loved little Ike because we care for a feral colony and while we may never get to hold and pet these special abandoned creatures, I too have loved my ferals as I have my own cats.

Ike's little body will no longer greet you at feeding time, but stop and listen as you feed the others - hear his little meow in the wind, see his little face in the clouds and feel his spirit always wrap around you until you are together again. Ike was a special little man - his life enriched by having known your kindness and love as was yours for having known him.

My prayers to you and to all the ferals and homeless cats who are trying to survive and will never know someone as special as you.
