Hello everyone, my name is Stephanie and This was not my personal cat, he was a stray and unfortunately he was found by a bunch of children ages range between I believe 8-10 and beaten to death with bricks and rocks....

Words can NOT express the horror I felt when I came across this article which was in The Staten Island Advance yesterday, I believe these children are living in New Jersey which is where this nightmare took place...... This was an act of PURE EVIL !!!! it really shattered my heart to read the article and see the pictures of what they did to this poor defenceless animal.....ok so I wrote to the Rainbow Bridge owners explaining the situation and I asked them if it would be possible to set up a memorial site for free for this cat, who was subsequently named "Quattro" by the vets, from my understanding after this poor cat was beaten he did end up in a vets office, I dont know how he got there but the vets did try their best efforts to save him , unfortunately poor baby Quattro did die on March 15, 2014.....

I wanted so desperately to set up this memorial for him so that he can feel loved and missed, and most of all , rememberd I want him to be friends with my furbaby Aubrey who became a resident of Rainbow Bridge in Febuary of this year .... This story really upset me, I felt pain as if he was my own, I just can NOT fathom how ANYbody, especially children could be capable of such a hanis act....If these kids are torturing and murdering animals without hesitation, WHAT on Earth will they be like as they become adults ? Im scared to death to even find out....So anyway everyone, I thank you for taking the time to read this and visit MY Quattro, I will consider him mine now because he IS my furbaby in my heart, so please everyone, feel free to sign into his guest book...

I know he will feel loved if you do so <3....also i was thinking of giving him a new name , something that symbolizes something symbolic, something with meaning, something that states "IM LOVED" so Iam open for suggestions, so I would like some help in renaming him a name he can cary on with forever, unfortunately the picture i posted was the only one i could, the other photos of him were to grusome, but here you can see he is missing an eye and his legs have been casted up....im crying now, pls stop by <3

Sincerely,

Stephanie A.K.A Aubreys mommy <3 and now Im this beautiful furbabys Mommy as well, pls help me rename him
