Welcome to Oliver's Rainbow Residency

Memories of Oliver

We adopted Oliver in January 1999 from the Animal Rescue League. He was approximately 2 years old at that time. We fell in love with him from the first time we saw him, and, we believe he felt the same about us. Oliver was a lap cat and was unique in many ways. We know he understood every word we said. If we would even mention going to the veterinarian, Oliver would run and hide from us. He disliked going anyplace in a car, especially to the vet's office. After getting there he would come out of his carrier and within 30 seconds had the staff wrapped around the little toe of his paw. Over the course of the last 13 years he became a big Daddy's boy, as he kept his Daddy company during the day. Daddy and Ollie always took their afternoon nap together, with Ollie laying on Daddy's chest. Oliver had a built in alarm clock and always would wake us at 6:00 AM since that is the time we usually would get up for Mom to go to work. If we wanted to sleep in a bit, he would paw at our heads until we would get up with him. All we had to do was ask him if he wanted to go outside and he would run to the door. He never was allowed out without one of us. He would sit at the top of the yard and watch for his chipmonk buddy. We knew Oliver was getting older and slowing down, but, did not expect him to go so suddenly in the middle of the night. We rushed him to emergency and there was nothing they could do for him except put him out of his pain. It was one of the hardest things we ever had to do. This was on December 14, 2011 and we have been crying ever since. We have now received his ashes back and he is currently at peace under the Christmas tree. We miss him so much. 1-3-12: Hi Buddy.We miss you so much. It just isn't the same without you. We always knew that you would be there at the door to greet us when we would come home. Rest in peace, we will always love you. Love, Mommy and Daddy. 2-17-12 Dear Oliver, Thank you so much for sending to us a new buddy. We named him "MARIO". He will never replace you but he helps to ease the sad moments after losing you. We think of you each day and miss you. Love, Mommy, Daddy and Mario. 12-14-12 Dear Ollieboy, It's hard to believe that it is one year already that you have gone to be with your maker. We know that you are happy there and that you are watching over us each day. We will always keep thinking of you and we miss you very much. Mario is doing well, we love him but he will never replace you, our beloved Oliver. Rest in peace. Love, Daddy, Mommy and Mario.
