Simba crossed over Rainbow Bridge on 12/17/25.
Simba was a very good boy and protector!
His gotcha (rescue) date was 9/6/19 and our gotcha date was the same!!
Simba brought love and joy to all around him with a bit of spice! He was very protective, to say the least. He loved to go for Jeep rides, anywhere, especially to visit his beloved friend, Roger John! Loved going “around the horn” many times a day! (First on foot and the last year and a half in his cherished stroller) One of his greatest joys is when we (PEG especially) returned home, no matter a few minutes, hours or days. (And rest assured that you’d get scolded the longer it was!)
Simba was a beautiful Soul and Truly My Best Friend. I’m not quite sure how to do life minus his constant companionship, friendship and love, which I was deeply, deeply Blessed by!
¡Buenas noches, Simba!
¡Te amo!
¡Dios te bendiga!
Simba was bilingual, so I’d say this every morning and night in English and Spanish. I used to do the same with Beto!
I’m sure he was greeted by his Daddy Herb and his cat brother, Bobbi and sister Bindi. (Sidenote: Bindi taught him how to purr)
You may have been tiny, yet the mark you made on many hearts was mighty! Thank You, Simba! (aka: The Dog, aka: Baby)
Mommy Loves You!

Remembrances

Leaving a personal story, memory, or words of support for a pet’s family is a heartfelt way to pay tribute and provide comfort. As part of your remembrance, we also invite you to leave a virtual token along with your words — similar to our tradition here at the Sanctuary of leaving stones, beloved items, or small toys on the graves of cherished animals.
