Our dear Cherokee (KeeKee) crossed over the Bridge, Tuesday, 1:45 pm with the kind help from Dr. Orben. Our Vet came to our home so he went peacefully with his family around him. Through tears and goodbyes his little spirit was set free. Painfully I put these words together, goodbye my sweet Brave boy, you're in my heart forever. Mommy
I remember how many trips I made visiting you at PetSmart because the rescuers were worried after your first adoption failed. Your earlier years were not easy ones as I was told. My persistence won however and after several weeks I brought you home. You soon learned that the other cats were loving and patient in helping you blend in. After two years, five of your new cat family left for the Bridge but they taught you how to love and trust again. We moved to our new home with you, Zipper, Tonka, Nicki, also Luke and Buffy, our woofies. Two months after the move, baby Tonka left for the Bridge due to FIP. November Zipper crossed and we knew Nicki would be following him soon. We did not want you to be alone so baby Toy came, then baby Tinker. You had become a wonderful, loving, big brother to them. Later you again nurtured the new babies, Tang, TyGr and Teak and you welcomed our rescued Setzer to the family.
They all had such love and respect for you sweet boy. They still smell your presence here. We miss you..........
All the time you used to hang out in Grammom's room helping her with those silly puzzles..........she cried for you baby.
Christmas is coming.......oh how you loved laying under the tree, looking up at all the sparkle and reflections from the ornaments. Playing with your brothers in the emptied boxes and gift wrappings. You will be with us, our loving memories of you, Luke, OBI, Buffy and all our past furkids, will be in our souls forever.

I am so sorry to hear about Cherokee. I just read the news on the Cat Blogosphere. I lost my Patches almost two weeks ago and still cry every day for her and miss her so much. They leave us with an emptiness that is hard to imagine. Be strong........

So sorry to hear about the passing of Cherokee. He is a beautiful boy, inside and out. He will be missed but never forgotten. Sending hugs and purrs to you today.
Oh, my throat is tight and my eyes blink back tears. Losing one you love is never easy, but especially hard at a time when one wants to be joyous. Your tribute to Cherokee was filled with love..he would not want you to be sad but to be filled with joy at the life you were able to share with each other...
We send our purrs for Cherokee and for all who loved him. You have our deepest sympathy for your loss.
What a beautiful tribute for a beautiful boy. It sounds like his later years were filled with enough love to make up for his early bad times.
We are so sorry for your loss.
