"They that love beyond the world cannot be separated. Death cannot kill what never dies. Nor can Spirits ever be divided
that love and live in the same Divine Principle; the Root and Record of their Friendship.
Death is but crossing the world, as Friends to the seas; they live in one another still." ~ William Penn

"Jove" came to us on January 7, 2021 from Beechwood.  He had been struck by a vehicle some time previously and was not doing well.  As no help was available for him, he came to DunRoamin'.  Jove was examined immediately by Florenceville Veterinary Clinic staff, but was diagnosed with kidney failure on top of his other medical problems.

We are sad to say that Jove left us on the afternoon of January 7, 2021.  We are grateful that he was warm, safe, had pain medication to feel better and friends around him.  We know you are feeling much better now at Rainbow Bridge and we will see you there again one day.

"Grudge" came to us from Grafton on January 18, 2021.  At more than 21 pounds, she was extremely overweight, dehydrated, had matted fur, a cancerous growth over her right eye and her kidney enzymes were elevated, indicating kidney failure.  She had been previously declawed and exhibited painful front paws to the point that she was unable to walk.  Grudge had been born about February 19, 2008.

Despite all medical intervention, Grudge was unable to overcome her illnesses.  We are sad to report that she left us on the early afternoon of January 23, 2021.  We are so sad that we did not get the opportunity to know her better but are glad that she is now pain free and playing in the warm grass at Rainbow Bridge with all of her new friends, including so many DunRoamin' cats and dogs who we know were waiting to welcome her.    Enjoy your new world, Grudge.  We will see you again there.

"Athena" came to us from the Woodstock area on January 25, 2021.  She had been abandoned but required medical care.  She was diagnosed with an extremely bad heart murmur, an arythmia, and she weighed only 0.38 kg, which meant that she could easily sit in the palm of an outstretched hand.  She was born about December 18, 2020, so was not yet even six months of age.

Athena was given the very best of care with her vet tech foster mother and the medical care of her staff at the Florenceville Veterinary Clinic.  However, her heart was not able to sustain her and with great sadness and regret, she left us on the morning of January 27, 2021.  We know that you are now safe, warm and playing with all your new friends at Rainbow Bridge, Little One.  Your rescuer, your foster mother, your medical staff and all of DunRoamin' are grateful to have known you.  You were one awesome little girl.  We will see you again one day.

"Cardiff" originally came to DunRoamin' on December 31, 2020 as his family was no longer able to keep him.  Born on January 17, 2017, Cardiff was one of ten Lab mixed-breed puppies (Currie, Dublin, Capri, Yeovil, Delphi, York, Sicily, Belfast and Rhodes) born to Truly, a stray in Riverbank, NB.  Cardiff was adopted in February, 2017, but was returned due to family circumstances.

Cardiff was fostered by a family in Greenfield with several other dogs and a few cats as well.  He loved going for walks and snuggling in bed.  We are sad to report that Cardiff left us on the afternoon of January 27, 2021.  He is missed by his foster family and all of DunRoamin'.  We'll see you again at Rainbow Bridge, Cardiff, where we know you are happy, healthy and playing in the warm sun with all your new friends.  We will remember you.

"Seal" came to DunRoamin' on February 4, 2021, as part of a colony of 62 who were rescued by DunRoamin'.  Born about February 4, 2020, Seal was very tiny and underweight.  She was lethargic, underweight, her teeth were in terrible shape and she was in pain.  She had a very bad heart murmur which would not have allowed her to survive many more hours.

Seal left us at about 4 pm on February 4, 2021.  She has joined her friends Wreath and Candle, also from this same colony, all of whom are now happy, healthy, pain free and enjoying the warmth, love and sunshine with all their friends at Rainbow Bridge.  We are so sorry we didn't find you all sooner and been able to help you stay here with us a bit longer, but we are heartened to know that you no longer experience pain and are with other DunRoamin' cats and dogs who will be your friends and family forever.  And we will see you all again one day at Rainbow Bridge.

"Lemming" came to DunRoamin' on February 4, 2021 from a colony of 62 that was growing unchecked. They all required medical intervention and nutritious food.

This little boy was born about February 4, 2020, had parasites and upper respiratory infection

As per our standards, Lemming was neutered, fully vaccinated, tested for FIV and FeLV, and treated for all parasites to ensure he was able to become fully a healthy and happy little being - which he did!!

It was their wish (and ours!) that these little ones go to homes in pairs or to a home with an existing cat(s) of approximately the same age as they had never been without multiple other cats in their lives. 

On February 27, 2020, Lemming went to spend some time with his friends at The Purrfect Cup Cat Cafe in Two Nations Crossing, Fredericton, NB, where he hoped to meet his new family.  While there, he had a wonderful time and enjoyed every second with his new friends and servants.  Sadly, Lemming began to feel unwell, so returned to us to ensure he got the very best of medical care.

We are so sad to report that on March 19, 2021, Lemming left us.  He had developed a fast-growing tumour in his abdomen which made him not want to eat and he was rapidly losing weight.  We are so sad to say goodbye to this little sweetheart, but are glad that his last weeks were pain-free, filled with warmth, good food, friends, family and all the love and attention he could soak up - which he very happily did.  We are going to miss you, Little One, but are glad to know you are pain-free and spending time with your old friends Candle, Wreath and Seal, as well as with all your new DunRoamin' friends who were there to greet you at Rainbow Bridge.  We'll see you again, Lemming.  We miss you . . .

"Randall" came to us on February 7, 2012 from Grand Falls.  He had been a stray who had been being fed by the community, but he was not interested in sharing accommodations with humans, although he was grateful for the food they provided for him.

One day he was observed to have been injured and when he asked for help, he was brought to DunRoamin' where he was cared for immediately.  Randall tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) but is proof once again that FIV+ cats can live long and healthy lives.  He was born about 2005.

Randall was a member of our Cats For Seniors program and he lived for several years as the best friend of a lady in Woodstock.  Upon her passing, he returned to us where he lived until he was invited to be a foster cat by our friends Sue and Steve.  Randall joined their family on January 22, 2021 where he was spoiled beyond his wildest dreams and enjoyed owning a house again.  He spent his time in leisure with his new family and relished each and every moment.

We are sad to report that on July 22, 2021, Randall left us.  He showed difficulty in controlling his hind legs and was diagnosed with fluid in his abdomen.  We are so blessed to have known this beautiful boy and are happy to know that he is now pain free and running with all his DunRoamin' friends, both feline and human, at Rainbow Bridge.  We'll see you again, Randall.  In the meantime, enjoy your reward.  We will miss you.
