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.

Mabel Lou 2013-2025 Mabel Lou Barnas crossed the Rainbow Bridge on her 12th birthday, April 24,2025. She was surrounded by her loving humans in her home after a short battle with lymphoma. Mabel made her way to Noah’s Ark Animal Sanctuary in Rockford, IL when a truck driver found her on the side of a farm road in Oklahoma. She was adopted by her family August 31, 2013 and has been the best girl ever since, although she did earn the nickname Mabel Lucifer in her younger years for getting into typical beagle mischief. In later years she was often called Mabel Lou Who or Sweet Mabes. Mabel was an unusual beagle as she barely ever made any noise aside from grunting like a gremlin while playing. On rare occasion she would bey like beagles do, but it was uncommon for her. She would quietly sit outside and watch all the animals passing through the backyard planning her hunting attack, but hardly ever caught any of the small backyard animals. Mabel loved car rides and was often called “our little navigator” because she liked to sit up front and watch the road on car trips. Hiking and camping were her favorites - her little hound nose went wild taking in all the smells. And anything that she could be a part of with her family made her happy. She was the sweetest girl and loved everyone she ever met. Mabel is survived by her human parents, Sabrina and Eddie, and her human siblings, Madie and Arlo. She is now running through heaven with her dog siblings, Dixie and Anders that crossed the Rainbow Bridge before her. We will miss you forever and ever our sweet little brown eyed baby girl.

Theres absolutely no words I can say to explain the kind of boy you were.. You were adventurous, the sweetest little boy, so playful and so outgoing, there wasn't a day you didn't make me or Kaden the happiest person alive. You've been there for me since I was 17 years old and have been attached at my hip since you could walk. It's definitely a lot quieter in the house without you around, but we're so thankful for your son you left on earth with us. Go run free with his mother and eat all the treats you want until we can all be reunited again one day! Love your human mom and your favorite person Kaden
