The memories of our beloved pets never fade. Whether they had fur, feathers, scales, or hooves, each one left a unique paw print on our hearts and became a cherished part of our families. Our Rainbow Bridge page is dedicated to honoring those faithful companions who brought us unconditional love, endless joy, and unforgettable moments throughout their lives.
Although they may no longer walk beside us, their love remains with us every day, in our memories, our hearts, and the stories we continue to share. This page is a place to celebrate their lives, remember the happiness they gave us, and ensure their legacy lives on for generations to come.
Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. Until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Evanston
Adopted into the family through PAWS of CHICAGO. At the time he was the Alpha of the adoption kennel. He chose us when we saw him for the first time. 2011-2025
Gracey
She was the Alpha female of “The Flopsy Gang” Although she did not pass during her appearance, one day she disappeared never to return. No clue what happened or where she went. We hope that maybe she adopted into a forever family. By now, we can assume by her age she had passed by now.
Buddy
A healthy addition to “The Flopsy Gang” She developed a sudden case of Anemia. We suspect she may have been inadvertently poisoned by consuming a poisoned mouse or rat. – 2023
Smokey (Humphrey)
Mostly independent from “The Flopsy Gang” he got his name Humphrey, after we had to TNR him to prevent him from producing more offspring as we suspected that he may have produced most of the population of ferals on our street. After that, he managed to adopt a forever home at the end of our street. He still came around now and then to eat, even though he was being cared for by his new family. The family gave him the name “Smokey”. We learned that he passed away due to old age and illness. -2023
Flopsy
The patriarch feral of “The Flopsy Gang” He first showed up around the early 2010’s as a little guy. He walked like a dog at first flopping left and right with each step, hence the name, FLOPSY. He was the head of the gang because after he showed up, others showed up behind him one by one. His passing was a surprise to us. One day he couldn’t get himself to move after several bouts of coming down with some kind of raspatory infection. After we took him to the vet, they determined that he had a punctured lung. From what, we cannot be certain. Unfortunately he succumbed to this injury. -2024
