Beth and Kayce (formerly Kimchi and Mochi)

Born Oct 2024 – July 2026

“Beth and Kayce just made our lives complete. They loved us, our children, our dogs and we all loved them back. They were the perfect cats, sociable, cuddly, sweet, sassy, crazy.

When we went to bed, Beth would immediately jump onto our bed and go back and forth between the two of us, kneading us. She was a fidgeter and constantly jumping from one of us to the other. During the day, she’d kick the dogs off their beds and completely sprawl over the dog beds and sleep like they were hers. If you got near a laptop to work, she was all over you non stop, wanting to distract you from work, and if you got off your chair, no matter what, she immediately stole it. She was super food driven like our one dog and would run into the kitchen when I was feeding the dogs and would bat the dog food out their dish to eat it, and loved food time – came flying into the room when it was time to eat. She was the absolute sweetest girl.

Kayce was a night time prowler but I never, ever woke up without him on me. He always was asleep on my hip or my arm when I woke up and would stare at me angrily when I got up.

Then I would go work out in the basement and he would come and join the workout. I didn’t do a push up without him crawling under me or a sit up without him on my stomach watching me. He was my workout buddy every morning and let me know it! He loved loved loved Dakota and would always run and rub all over her when she walked into a room. He loved to burrow so if you had a blanket anywhere, he crawled underneath it with you and squatted. He was great to binge watch tv with. He was more mischievous than Beth, but still the cuddliest boy.”

Owned and loved by Shannon, Chad and family.

Loved by many. Rest in peace little one <3

NICKLEE –
Last year or the year before, I started donating to your organization in memory of Nicklee. I really love all that you do for these cats. They are amazing. I have attached several pictures of Nicklee. Some are him with his mommy (my mom). He LOVED to be held by his mommy. He followed my mom everywhere. She took it so hard and always tears up when we talk about him, but she loves to talk about him. Please feel free to use whatever picture(s) you want. I can’t wait to see the Memory page. What a great idea!

Take care.

Willie– Adopted by Stephanie Steyer-Wynne

2009-2020

Willie was ECMCR’s very first foster kitten and our very first adoption to Stephanie Steyer-Wynne in 2009. Willie was a beautiful white cat but he was also deaf. According to Stephanie, ” Willie had a huge personality and presence. I was blessed to have him as a part of my life for as long as I did. He was one special cat for sure.” Willie holds a special place in our hearts

NALA– Adopted by Terri

My beloved Nala, a stunning silver MC, was so loving, a sleep-on-your-head, snuggle-in-your-lap, purr machine. I lost her 15 years ago to IBD at the young age 6 and still miss her.

Zander– Adopted by Virgina and Chris Puddister

Most recently, we lost our Maine coon mix of 17 years after being treated for a heart condition, kidney disease, and arthritis. Unfortunately, we could no longer fight off age with my sweet boy and he passed peacefully with my husband and I by his side. He was our everything.

Raven– 2012 – 2020. Fostered by Debbie Salerno; adopted by John Mitchell Balsamo.

Millie

2020 brought you to us and took you away. It was short but you taught us a lot; patience, love and unfortunately heartbreak. RIP ♥️
