Stanley Spisinski, 1989 - January 6, 2007
And St. Francis asked Stanley ’s spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied Stanley ’s precious soul
And, as a cat, I am most able
To decide anything for myself
Are you coming then? Asked St. Francis
Soon, replied the whiskered angel Stanley
But I must come slowly.
For my human friend is troubled.
For you see, she needs me, quite certainly.
But doesn’t she understand? asked St. Francis
That you'll never leave her?
That your souls are intertwined for all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is...forever and ever and ever.
Eventually she will understand,
Replied the glorious Stanley ,
For I will whisper into her heart
That I am always with her
I just am...forever and ever and ever
Her precious orange tabby with one ear, Stanley.
SIMON
Simon has journeyed over the rainbow bridge to wait for his foster parents. We did everything we could for him. The vets ran numerous tests, took x-rays, and performed an exploratory surgery. I think Simon had a greater calling. Simon is now among the kitty angels watching over the kitties on earth. Simon knew love before he passed over and will help guide us to the kitties in need, so that they too, can be loved. Rest in peace, Simon. You were an exceptional kitty on earth and you will be an exceptional kitty angel. April, 2006
Woody
'Woody… who loved sharing meals, helping
to make the bed, watching birds and
squirrels, and most of all, being Jen’s
best friend.
The work of the Feral Cat Project brings us face to face with many cats – a great number are not socialized to humans and as such are happiest living among their cat-families. But often among these families, called colonies, we find the truly homeless – once belonging to humans, now lost or abandoned, their hunger and fear making them instinctively turn to a wild-like behavior to help them survive outside on their own - these are the cats that touch us the most.
So when Woody’s family made a donation to the Friends of Felines’ Feral Cat Project in his name, and we heard how this once abandoned cat had become one person’s best friend, we decided to create this page to honor Woody’s memory and the memories of all the wonderful cats each of us has had the pleasure of loving.
A special thanks to Cathy G. for her donation in Woody’s name to Friends of Felines, Inc., helping us to continue to help more homeless cats.
