In memoriam

Name: Millie

Owner: Ricky Field

Tribute: I rescued my little Millie from RSPCA Leybourne in May 2002. She was a wonderful little dog so active & full of life. She had a wonderful life with us right up to the end. We had been away to Dorset for the weekend with her & our other dog & she had had a really super time with long walks by the sea & chasing rabbits in the fields.We didn't know anything was wrong with her but unfortunately she passed away on Monday 20th September with internal bleeding due to a tumour on her spleen. R.I.P. Millie we will miss you so much.

Name: Mona

Owner: Sarah Block

Tribute: I first saw Mona at Foal Farm on a cold February day in 2005. I fell in love with her instantly. She was so affectionate and loved kisses and cuddles, purring loudly. I remember thinking what a pretty lady and this affectionate term stuck with her. Mona enjoyed sleeping, chasing mice and eating treats. She continued to love kisses and cuddles and enjoyed nuzzling up to my face. Mona sadly developed a tumour in her stomach. The vet had suggested a steroid injection and her health improved, but this was only temporary and three weeks later I took the very difficult decision to end her suffering. On Tuesday 7th September 2010 I told my lady how much I loved her for the last time and I shall miss her very much. Along with my other cat, Sober we were a team and now we are a man down. As sad as I am now, I have enjoyed every day with her and have so many fond memories. Thank you to Foal Farm. I shall be forever thankful for the day I met my beautiful little girl, Mona.

Name: Zeus

Owner: Claire Greasley

Tribute: zeus was the prettiest dog i have ever seen/met, my mum and dad had him 2years before he was born, they got him from batersy dogs home, we gave him such a good life, he passed away at the age of 16, on friday 27th august 2010. I'm thirteen, he used to look out for me when i was a baby, he was my bestfriend, no one / or no other dog could or will ever replace him xxx no matter how old he got, he always looked pretty, when he got ill, it was very sad for me... cause i knew the amazing life he's had was coming to an end

Name: Harry

Owner: Lynne Wainwright

Tribute: Harry came to live with us in August 2008, as an 18yr old who had been abandoned by his previous owners. He had severe hyperthyroidism which we soon sorted with medications. Harry very quickly settled in at home with all my other animals and became mummy's baby . Everyone who met Harry adored him. Aside from an issue with bad teeth Harry was fit and happy until the last few months when he started to go slowly senile. Over the last week he went physically down hill and stopped eating and drinking, becoming dehydrated. An overnight stay at the vet on IV fluids did not help, I had some last cuddles when Harry even managed a little purr and took the horrendous decision that the kindest thing to do was to put him to sleep. Despite only living with us for 2 years Harry has left a huge gap and I miss him and his Harry Huggles (as one of my vets termed his cuddles) desperately. RIP Harry my baby boy xxx

Name: Toffee (aka Belly Button)

Owner: Sally Edwards

Tribute: It is with enormous regret to tell you that Toffee passed away on the 24th July 2010 having been struck by a car. We collected Toffee (then known as Belly Button) from Foal Farm on 6th March 2006 and she quickly became a huge part of our family. Toffee was a truly beautiful cat, with many endearing traits. Toffee loved charging around the garden after balls (like a dog!) and would tap you with her paw if we stopped stroking her, even just for a second! It's very hard coming to terms with the sudden, tragic and untimely loss of our little fluffy family member who we thought would be a part of us for many years to come. Sleep tight Big Girl. Love you always. X
