A donation was made to PACT from Dr. Margret Thornburg D.V.M. in memory of all the great cats of her life: Gettysburg, Manassas, Macalister, Matheny, Casey, Cornelius, Tristan, Pecan, Spencer, Chip, Chopper, Vanessa, Denali, Migel, Tsechin & Pepsi. April 2009.

Esther Pizarro

Esther was a very important member of the PACT family. We were honored to have her with us for 2-3 years, before her untimely death on December 31, 2007 following a battle with brain cancer. Many kind people made donations to the Esther Pizarro Memorial Fund, for special needs cats, in her memory.

Michael Norman

Mike Norman, a resident of Streamwood, IL, was a big animal lover. He had TNR'd over 20 feral cats, rescued many orphaned litters of kittens and nursed injured wildlife back to health. The animals just seemed to know where to find him. Although he was in his early 70s, he was strong & active, and was quick to lend a helping hand to friends, neighbors and strangers alike. Mike Norman died on September 8, 2006 after being struck by a car. He died instantly. And in that instant, the animals lost a true friend.

Ruth F. Pizarro

Esther Pizarro made a donation in memory of her mother, Ruth F. Pizarro, born February 11, 1910, at rest August 13, 2006. Ruth instilled in all of her children a love for people and animals, which is part of her legacy of love.

Max

In Loving Memory of Max, also known as Maximillion, the Cat in a Billion!!

Max was Tressa's baby and faithful companion for 15 years. They earned their Juris Doctorate together, and he stayed by her side until she learned that she had passed the bar.

He will be missed and loved FOREVER.

Misty

"To Misty:

We miss you but will always remember the joy you brought. Tom will miss you climbing all over the computer when he was trying to balance the check book. Dianne will miss you following her all around the house until you got your nightly treat. Niki will miss your face at the front door waiting for her to return from work. Danielle will miss you opening her dresser draw and pulling out her clothes for a place to hide. Ashley will miss you sleeping on her neck at night.

Sleep well my friend." -- The Taylor Family
