This is the tribute I posted on the Rainbow Bridge website for Chuka, my exceptional cat, who lived with us for 17 1/2 delightful years.
Chuka, 04/01/78 - 03/30/96
Chuka was a sensitive cat. She came from
abuse to a home of love that she had to learn to accept. She was with me
through many moves; always made herself right at home. She was BRAVE, LOYAL,
CARING.
As she aged, I promised her she would
never suffer. These are hard decisions to make, but I knew it was time.
I missed her so sharply, so deeply. The two young cats in our house, Simba and Smokey, missed
her too...especially Simba. Sweet and pretty Chuka, we will NEVER forget
you! All I do for homeless kitties, I do it for you! Love from your mom,
dad, sister, and brothers.

Spay and neuter your companion
animals. Leave breeding to responsible, knowledgeable breeders. Every year
millions of healthy dogs and cats are euthanized in America.
This is no way to treat our best friends, so when it's time to adopt a
new family member, go to a shelter and
It would be an honor to Chuka and all other formerly homeless animals if you would adopt your next pet from an animal shelter.
