Sassy
Sassy was the second Siamese to live with the Founder of Purrs Abound and she is one of the reasons that Purrs Abound was established. She lived up to her name, especially as a kitten. But being "sassy" is what got her through life. She was horribly ill as a kitten and suffered with the herpes virus her entire life. She still had spunk. Stomach surgery when she was 5 months old left her unable to jump very high, so, in her younger days, she was even permitted to climb a small tree with the help of her Mom and Dad in a fenced yard. Sass was definitely the Alpha Kitty at the Holefca household. While she never growled, hissed or swatted another cat..resident or foster, they simply KNEW that Sassy was the Matriarch and they respected her until the end. She was born on 07/25/1994 and crossed The Bridge on 07/27/2009 to join the many other Holefca resident companions who went to The Bridge before her. The Sass Lady made a mark in my life and left a hole in my heart...

Towd
Towd was born in Seattle, WA in Aug 1991 and shared his life with Jan, who also adopted another kitty, Nicki, from Purrs Abound. Towd crossed The Rainbow Bridge in September 2009 and Jan has written the following tribute to her beloved companion: He lived in the Seattle area until Aug 2002 when his mommy decided to move back to Canada with the other kitties. During his lifetime, he shared his Mom with three other kitties, Missy, Roo Roo and Princess Nicki. Towd had a rough life, being diagnosed with Arthritis when he was just over age 6 and then the bad one, Chronic Renal Failure, at age 10. Being the valiant kitty that he was, Towd lived for 8 more years and had his 18th birthday in Aug of 2009. On September 15, 2009 about 3:00 in the morning, Towd was too tired to continue fighting the battle. My son and I prayed over Towd and laid a Cross on him and told him that he could go home and cross the Rainbow Bridge to be with others and be with God. So, sadly, Towd left us behind. Even though we cry, we know Towd is no longer in pain. I love you Towd. You were my very best friend and gave me the very best years in my life. You hugged me like no other cat has ever done. You loved me when no one else did. Towd, thank you for loving me. I am so lonely without you. God Bless. Love you Papa Towd Your Forever Mom

Crystal
Crystal came to Purrs Abound in the Spring of 2005. Because she suffered from numerous health ailments, she became a permanent resident of Purrs Abound and found a wonderful home with her foster family, Bill, Laurie & William. She lived like the Queen she believed she was and will be sorely missed by her family. Crystal crossed The Rainbow Bridge in late July 2009. Purrs Abound wants to thank her foster family for the love and compassion they gave to Crystal. Without people like them, so many of these great seniors would not have the golden years that they deserve.

Maxwell
Maxwell was one of those "once in a lifetime" companions and was another BIG reasons that Purrs Abound Siamese Rescue was founded. Maxwell was an integral part of the Holefca Household, owning the hearts of Purrs Abound's Founder and her husband for 14 years. He fought a valiant battle against kidney failure for 3 years and 2 months as well as stomatis and a stubborn candida fungus infection. Seeing the struggles he battled with his mouth has made me a true believer in having yearly dental exams completed on ALL cats. Max was the bravest, most tolerant and loving Siamese who has crossed the path of Purrs' Founder. To say that Max will be greatly missed would be a huge understatement. A bigger heart a cat has never had. 11-15-1994 to 03-06-2009

Kazuhiko
Kazuhiko was one of those little Angels who is sent to bless our lives even though they are with us briefly. He lived only about 16 weeks but in that short period of time, touched the heart of the young woman who found him outside a pet store in the cold. No matter how long they are with us, each companion touches us deeply. Kazuhiko will never be forgotten and Purrs Abound feels blessed that we were able to be a small part of Kazuhiko's life. 10/16/2008 to 01/29/2009
