Owlie is the precious furbaby of Jayne, a good neighbor of ours. He was rescued as a tiny kitten by his mom, after she found him with all of his fur burned off, and his right eye blinded by cruel men. After months of gentle, loving care, Owlie got his beautiful fur back, but never regained his eyesight in that eye.

We got to know him when we helped to care for Jayne's very special needs kitties when she had to be away for a week. We gave Owlie his insulin, saw to it that he ate and stayed well. He had developed an infection in his blinded eye, and the difficult decision was made to remove the eye. Our precious boy crossed Rainbows Bridge from complications due to the diabetes after surgery.

Jayne, his loving mom, and we, his loving Aunt Clare and Aunt Martha, will miss him so much. He was so brave and we know that he is waiting just across the Bridge.

Be well, be free, and know that you are loved with all our hearts, sweetest Owlie.
