Oakland Yates

Oakland Aloysius Yates crossed the Rainbow Bridge on April 22, 2023. She had just celebrated her 18th birthday on April 12th. She rescued her dad, Matthew, when she was just a tiny kitten the size of his hand. She knew he was the perfect person to care for her and raise her with the most love anyone could give. At the age of 10, she chose the perfect mama, Jaime, who would also love and cherish her every day.

 Oakland brightened her parents’ lives with her beautiful voice, her sweet and comforting snuggles, and her spunky personality. She made the best blanket forts and enjoyed waking her dad up early on weekends. You could most often find her laying at her favorite spot on the couch watching her cartoons, always accompanied by her stuffed ‘lucky ducky’ toy. Although she loved her mama, she was truly daddy’s girl. She was the best kitty in the whole world, and we will miss her terribly. She was our sweet, beautiful princess.

Chaos, age 12 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 22nd, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. Chaos was rescued from an abandoned building and she absolutely caused chaos with our other cats and ended up taking over the ruling of the house, which is how she earned her name, Chaos. She was very protective of everyone in the household and was very bossy to anyone that showed her any attention.

Bonnie, age 13 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 20th, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. She was an absolute gem of a girl, she would always jump onto the bed with whoever invited her into their room for even just a minute. Any chance she got, she was in someone's bed. She loved everyone she met and absolutely loved playing fetch. She didn't care that she was a big girl, she wanted to be a lap dog with everyone she came in contact with. She will be deeply missed at home but happy to know she's running happy and free across The Rainbow Bridge.

Thunder, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 13th, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. There is so much to say about fat man Thunder, I have so many favorite memories of him. He loved to go on walks around the neighborhood, it didn't matter where we went as long as he got his walk in. He was the best cuddler, waking up with him in the morning was absolutely the best thing in the world even though he would always be on my head or hair. He loved his whip cream treats even though he always got brain freeze from eating them too fast. He was the friendliest boy you'd ever meet and was very vocal. He much preferred his string toys over the toys he had to move himself. He will be deeply missed at home and I'm glad he's having a blast running freely across The Rainbow Bridge.

Dude, 14 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 12th, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. I will miss the days of playing in the snow with her, the warm sunny days on our deck, and playing in the leaves in the fall. The day we brought her home to our 2 year old son who also happened to share the same birthday as him also, he was the happiest little boy ever. Dude loves his cat siblings and he always had something to say and would yell at you until things were in there rightful place, wherever it may be. He absolutely loved blueberries, apples and carrots

She was the best big sister to Wally. She enjoyed her naps and snuggle time in the evenings with whoever would show her attention. She absolutely was the Queen of the household. She was an armchair quarterback and much preferred her brother to do all of the hard work for her. She will definitely be very much missed.
