Penny Degenhardt
2013-January 27th 2023
Penny was found when she was somewhere between 6 to 8 weeks old, cold, sick, and covered in fleas, beside the road. She had a fun sweet personality from the start. Never held a grudge about her rough start in life but truly appreciated her home and family so very much. Her best friend was her beloved Leonard, who had an equally hard start in life. Together they terrorized our home with their big personalities and need for speed. They were 100 mph from morning till night. Penny was my husband's sidekick on projects in the yard and garage. She designated herself the protector of the chickens and hater of all German Shepherds as they upset her chickens. She rid all of Winnebago county of moles and entertained the local field mice, keeping them well fed with the dry cat food she hated and refused to eat. She always greeted us at the door with her quiet little meow and a big stretch up our legs. Her quiet presence has left a big void in our home and she will be greatly missed.

Mack, age 11 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on February 13th, 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. My Mack Daddy is already so deeply missed in our household. When we first got him and he spent his first Christmas in a actual home, he was in absolute heaven. He loved all of the presents he got to open. He would always find a way to sneak out of the yard and we were constantly replacing boards and parts of the fence repaired because he was really good at sneaking out. He was such a huge snuggler that I think that is what I will miss the most. His ears were a big tell on what Mack was up to, if they were perked up, then that meant he was on high alert. He loved to protect his human family any way he found that he could. He will truly be missed. Until we meet again at The Rainbow Bridge.

Seer was our first foster kitty, he loved his mama unconditionally, he also always loved talking to her and wagging his happy tail any time he saw her. He was her shadow to its fullest. I will miss his beautiful blue eyes, his fun spunky personality and most of all his meows. He is deeply missed and we will meet again one day at The Rainbow Bridge.
