Slingmouse

In loving memory of my dear little Slingmouse

Who graced my home, sling and heart for only 4 short years but could not possibly have been loved more. He was my heart kitty….and despite the constant physical struggles and inconveniences both he and I experienced during his time here, nothing was ever taken for granted…he was the definition of a loving soul. Always so hard to say good bye.

K. Kranz

Karen Kristen Pierce

Kevin D. Molendy

Born April 24, 1968

Born in to Eternity June 10, 2017

Kevin was a cat lover from the time he was a small child, and cats have always been part of our lives.  Kevin, along with me, supported SPCR by adopting cats, donating to the rescue and spreading the word to friends and family about taking another cat out of the system if they were considering getting a cat.  I am proud to say that one of my friends, and several of Kevin’s friends have adopted cats.

Kevin is now in Heaven with our cattie girls that have passed before him.   And I will see them all at the Bridge.

Love you for all time Kevin.

Stan Kass

In 2010, Stan Kass walked into the Wisconsin Humane Society and found a new best friend: a German Shepherd named Reggie.

In the years that followed, Stan pursued a remarkable mission: to help other people bring the love of an animal into their lives. He has, on numerous occasions, sponsored the adoption fee for every single animal, given large donations to rescues and offered his help and support any way he could to help animals in need. He quietly sent families in need to adopt animals at his expense.

And his friendship for animals went even farther. In the years that followed, Stan supported many animal welfare organizations that help animals and their families in our community including generously funding the purchase of 25 police dogs and supporting the police equine program.

Stan’s broad smile, great stories, and caring heart will be missed.

Bonnie Rae

Goodbye to my sweet sweet dove, Bonnie Rae.

Love of my life, bringer of constant comfort and joy, companion, and fur baby.

You will always be a sweet song on my heart.

What I wouldn’t give to be with you again.

XOXO

In Loving Memory of Deuteronomy

Adopted February 3, 2012

Passed away March 17,2017

Thank you for being a sweet, gentle soul, my beautiful Deuty-pants. Our lives are richer for having known you and we remember your funny quirks with joy. We miss your goofy antics, like chewing up papers, begging for belly rubs and of course meowing your gravelly old man meow when you wanted us to pay attention to you. We are so glad we could give you a safe, happy retirement in your golden years. Thank you to SPCR and all your work you do for our furry friends. ~Danielle and Dave

In memory of our beautiful Stanley

He was the life of the party, the clown in our home and the love of our lives. Thank you Specialty Purebred Cat Rescue and Jill Endries for trusting us to be his forever home. We loved him to the moon and back and our lives will never be the same without him. A piece of our hearts went with him.

Jackie and Peter Campagnolo

In memory of Nellie Bean, one spunky little cat who overcame many obstacles, and became the darling of SPCR’s Facebook Page. She was loved fiercely by her parents Leslie and Mark Cully, who proudly shared her wild antics online. Her loss will be felt by many, but her lively spirit will live on forever.

In memory of Randie Schlamp and her love of the many Siamese cats she has rescued over the years.

In Loving Memory of Ka-Ching, my sweet amazing Burmese boy..abundant gratitude for sharing your 17 beautiful years! <3
