Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. Luna crossed over peacefully on January 5, 2026, curled in her favorite blanket, and we know she's chasing sunbeams there now, tail held high.

About

Luna was our quiet observer and mischievous adventurer all wrapped into one striped little body. From her earliest days as a kitten in Asheville, she claimed every windowsill, sunbeam, and garden path as her personal kingdom, and she ruled it with a soft chirp and a twitching tail.
