Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Cookie (2007 - 2008) |
February 7th 2008 Cookie is now at Rainbow Bridge after she lost her battle to survive a life threatening disease. She was only with me for such a short time 5 months to be precise but has left a large hole in my life as I had to do so much for her. Rest in Peace little one. Iris Cookie was yet another kitten born and looked after by WCWT. It doesn't matter how many go through our hands, each one holds a special place in our hearts. |
Humbug (1991 - 2008) |
Humbug was helped to pass across on Thursday 24th January 2008. He had been poorly for some time and was on a cocktail of pills which he took with very little problem. During the last week of his life he was struggling breathing and the vets did all they could but finally it was decided that he couldn't carry on like this as it would only get worse. I like to remember him when he looked like he did in this photo. Thanks for spending the past 17 years with us. Rest now. Sue Lipman |
Charlotte |
Charlotte came into my life in April 2000 after being rescued in London.
She was a wonderfully daft cat and used to have me laughing all the time. She went to sleep on 28 November 2006 because she was suffering from cancer and I very reluctantly let her go. I will miss her every single day. My gorgeous girl. Frances xx |
Baggins |
It is with deep sadness that l have to announce the loss of my dear Baggins..... As the weather grew colder, he developed sudden breathing difficulties, and, after many visits to the vet for various tests and treatments, it was discovered he had developed a fast growing lump around his throat.. Because of his general, continuing decline in health, it was decided that he would not be strong enough to recover from a major operation. So, with great reluctance it was considered kinder to let him go with dignity ,rather than let him suffer. At least he had a good year of happiness with us, and had enjoyed a final, happy year of normal life. Good night, my sweet brave Baggins.xx Sharon (Worthing Cat Welfare Trust - Volunteer) |
