Our Condolences to Lizzie, Neal, & fur family   

Liz, this is beyond sad.

Without you and Tardy, CH would not have evolved into the huge mission that it is today. Bless you and Tardy for all you have done to make the world a better place for all CH kitties and their families.

Celebrating the life of Tardy Peebucket

I put together a slide show celebrating Tardy in the link below. (Please view it full screen as his photos are beautiful)

Slide Show Celebrating Tardy Peebucket 

I am very  saddened as many of us were when Lizzie announced the passing of her beloved Tardy PeeBucket.   I just want to again express my deepest sympathy to both Lizzie and Neal during their mourning and loss.    

I am deeply touched by the inspiration of what just one cat has done with his 14 years of life.   He touched the lives of a very special couple named Lizzie and Neal whom he was absolutely adored by.  But not only was Tardy adored, he inspired Lizzie and Neal to reach out to others who have learned about CH Kitties as they have.   But there was nowhere to go so thus became the birth of CH Kitty Club and the Yahoo Forum.   Like me and many of you,  as we learned this new condition we all went running to the computer to do research  CH. 

Well, 856 of us thru the years found one another on the CH Kitty Yahoo Forum.  It is here thru Tardy's inspiration people were able to ask questions and advice, share stories and photos, rescues and adoptions but most of all friendships and support.  With our friendships there we also went out on blogs, Facebook, Twitter finding more CH people out there.  On the day of Tardy's passing our Facebook Page,  Cerebellar Hypoplasia Cats and Kittens  audience hit 1000 members . 

I am extremely grateful for Tardy's inspiration and what a huge difference he has made in the world for CH Kitties.   I for one know that if it were not for Tardy and this forum thru education and understanding I would not be right now writing this nor would I have a CH Kitty sitting with me.  It is Tardy who made the difference in my CH Kitty to live and this is 8 years later!!!   It is because of Tardy and the CH Yahoo Forum that literally 100's perhaps 1000's of CH Kitties lives have been spared and rescued and have found homes.  

Lizzie and Neal, I am at a loss of words to heal your heart..   Thank you for loving Tardy as much as you two have and I appreciate all you have done for CH Kitties and for all of us. He was certainly a very lucky CH Kitty.

I am forever grateful to you Tardy PeeBucket your spirit will live in my heart forever!

 Tardy's Legacy 

It was just about two years ago when my life was changed forever. It was a cool evening in spring when I noticed a new cat hanging out at my house. After watching him, I quickly realized something was very, very wrong with him. First of all, he looked more like an Otter than a cat. But even more than that, he walked and meowed funny. No, he didn't walk, he lurched and tumbled. Finally, one rainy Saturday morning, he was still on my carport, so I scooped him up, took him to my vet and claimed him as my newest cat. 

When my vet had checked him out, but could not figure out what was wrong with Otter, I turned to my Cats and Kittens group. There I found, not just an answer, but an angel to lead the way! It turns out that twelve years earlier, a wonderful angel named Lizzie had adopted a kitten who also walked funny. At this time, not much was known about these kitties who we now know have Cerebellum Hypoplasia, but Lizzie did not let that get in her way at all. She, first of all, refused to even consider having her precious Tardy Peebucket put to sleep! After also realizing that there were no online support groups for people owned by CH cats, Lizzie started her own group, with the help of Tardy, of course. 

By the time Otter found me, Lizzie and Tardy's group was well established and a heaven send! They quickly helped me feel like I was part of the family. And when Tardy started the monthly newsletter, Otter was quick to add his own article to the collection. Then, last March, tragedy struck and I lost Otter to a UTI. I was devastated. Then my angels, Lizzie, Tardy and the rest of my CH family, stepped forth, giving me comfort and love. They also dedicated the April newsletter to Otter, which made my heart swell with love and healing. 

For some reason, even after losing Otter, I just could not imagine my life without Lizzie, Tardy and the CH Kitty Club, so I stuck around. Sure enough, just over a month later, I ended up going through the group to adopt my two CH girls, Effie and Lovey (Lavinia). Now, a year later, we sit and mourn the sudden passing of the one who started all of this, our beloved Tardy! I often wonder where I would be if Tardy had not found Lizzie and they had not started this group. Would I have rescued Otter in the first place or not done so and lost out on, not just his love and adoration, but that of my sweet girls? As I read about so many others who have said the same thing as they react to our terrible loss of our Tardy, I realize that this one, very special cat has left behind a legacy that no other cat in history can claim. Because of Tardy, thousands of CH kitties will be adopted into loving homes instead being put to sleep. Because of Tardy, we are slowly but surely educating the veterinary world about how these babies should be saved and loved and cared for because they can and do live just as long as non-CH cats. Because of Tardy, many of us know there is no greater joy in life then the wobbly head bump and purr of love given to us by these amazing creatures. 

As many tears as I have shed over these past few days for Tardy, for Lizzie and Neal, for the CH community as a whole, I know that up in Heaven, at the foot of the Rainbow Bridge, sits a very proud Tardy on a very special throne. Now, more than ever, he knows the legacy he has left behind. And though I know he misses his beloved humans, he also knows that they will one day be together again, and they can sit on that wonderful throne and watch as all the CH kitties are adopted and loved and spoiled, just as they ought to be. Thank you, Tardy Peebucket, for being our ambassador! Your Legacy, Tardy, will live on forever through the hearts of thousands.

I was lucky enough to meet Tardy Peebucket in person. Lizzie had contacted me through my cat's profile page (Bob deTomaat) when she discovered that we both lived in the same town. She had previously thought that we lived in Serbia, because we were friends with Martha Vitez! Too funny! She graciously asked us to come visit her two CH kitties, Tardy and Ziggy. Bob wasn't really able to go, so I went by myself and took pictures. I had never met a cat with CH before, and wasn't quite sure what to expect. Lizzie took me into the hallway and called out for Tardy and Ziggy. Ziggy came out first, slowly working his way down the hall to meet us. What a handsome shiny fellow he was! I was sitting on the floor petting him when Lizzie said, "Here comes Tardy!" Oh my goodness, this beautiful grey boy came out of the playroom and started down the hall. I could automatically tell that he was a happy kitty in the way he carried himself and the smile on his face. He made it down to where we were, and we gave him lots of scritches. Lizzie told me the story of how she got him, and explained to me how she had to groom him as he couldn't groom himself very well. She said he hated taking baths- what self-respecting cat doesn't? Of course, it's always the ones who need help with their bathing that don't like it. The indignation... We all went back into the playroom where I was shown the special padded squares on the floor that make it easier for CH kitties to walk on, and to fall down on. Tardy had lots of beds to choose from in that room, and you could tell that he and Ziggy were quite content. We took some pictures of the handsome boys, and then it was time for me to leave. Lizzie gave me a standing invitation to come back anytime. A few months later, our schedules meshed where I was able to visit again. Tardy and Ziggy were delighted to see me, as they didn't get too much company. I was again amazed at how good Tardy looked as a 14 year old. He was a purring machine. When I got home, I showed Bob all the pictures I had taken of his friends, and he sniffed all over me. I think he was jealous that he didn't get to meet them, but I'm sure he would have just hissed at them and run away. Unfortunately, Lizzie and I both got busy, and visits were postponed... Then I read the sad news on Facebook that Tardy had passed on to his reward. It still makes me cry, because he was such a sweet sweet boy. I'm just so grateful that I got to meet him and hold him. I'll never forget his smiling face.

I always think about how our CH cats have changed our lives -- in big and small ways -- and I marvel at them. I'm sure we all have our own inspirational stories, but few wow me as much as everything Lizzie has accomplished because of Tardy Peebucket.  

It's not an exaggeration to say that many of us are here today b   ecause of Lizzie and Tardy. And I can only wonder where we would all be today had Lizzie had never known Tardy -- not to mention had never felt inspired to create those communities.  

Lizzie took the love that she had for Tardy, and used it as inspiration to help hundreds, if not thousands, of people and CH cats. She took simple steps to create vibrant online communities, and she devoted a tremendous amount of effort to them in order to help others.  

Most notably, she started the Yahoo CH Kitty Club group, which for a long time was one of the few places to learn about cerebellar hypoplasia, not to mention connect with other CH cat pet parents. It's been an incredible community where we can help one another, and lean on one another. At times I don't know what I would have done without it. 

But Lizzie didn't stop there. Lizzie and Neal also created the CH Kitty Club website, newsletter and YouTube channel. And they did it all for love.  

And the best part about these communities is that they'll live on long past any of us. They'll continue to grow and help thousands of more cats in the future. What better legacy can you leave? 

I know how much I love my CG and Ellie, and I can only imagine how deeply Lizzie and Neal loved Tardy after 14 years together. It's that love that inspires me to blog about CH cats, in an effort to inform and help others. And I can only hope in 14 years I've made a fraction of an impact that Lizzie and Tardy made.  

Lizzie is truly one of the pillars of this community, and I thank her from the bottom of my heart for loving Tardy so deeply, and for helping other cats with that love. You and Tardy are, and always will be an inspiration to all of us. And for that, we'll always be grateful. 

-Amanda Woodhead 

I am very sorry for your loss. My babies will greet him on the other side of the rainbow bridge and take care of him until you can meet him again. *hugs* 

*****************************************************************  

I'm so sorry for your loss, he was gorgeous. (((hugs))) 

*****************************************************************  

 My sincerest condolences on your beautiful boy's passing! When I found this site I was amazed at all the info and support to be found here. Thanks to you and Tardy for helping to start this great site. And for helping people understand that CH is not a death sentence. May all your good memories of Tardy help you through the heartache of his passing... *many hugs* 

*****************************************************************  

Tardy says 'I can open this door'

******************************************************************** 

(((Lizzie))) I am so so sorry. Tardy was a hero, a legend and he is the reason that so many cats are here today and so many more will forever be helped. I imagine when he got to the Bridge there were thousands of furries all lined up to honor him, all whispering "that is him, he is the reason my person loves CH kitties." I know that my own girl, Lilly Grace, would not have the same life she does now if not for your sweet little prince. 

*****************************************************************  

So sorry for your loss. Stay strong with the knowledge that you gave Tardy a great home with all the love he would ever need. 

*****************************************************************  

I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for spreading the word and sharing Tardy with us all. 

*****************************************************************  

I am so very sorry for your loss. Tardy will be waiting for you at the Bridge...... He will have my babies to play with & keep him company till you get there.... ♥♥♥ 

*****************************************************************  

I am so sorry for your loss :( Having lost my stinky studmuffin, Spook, back in January, will admit to starting to cry all over again after reading about Tardy. 

*****************************************************************  

My condolences for your loss. I lost my love, Henry, one week ago today. He was 13. He brought so much love into our home. He had a mild form of cerebellar hypoplasia. I didn't know there was a name for his "neurological disorder" until just recently. It's been kind of comforting to read about other people's experiences with CH kitties. Henry was the most special animal I have ever known. Thanks for sharing so much information regarding this disorder. 

*****************************************************************  

 I am so very very sorry for your loss. 

*****************************************************************  

so sorry to hear. l'm sure he's waiting at the rainbow bridge. 

*****************************************************************  

Oh Lizzie, The news today has certainly has broken my heart. I keep breaking down crying. Tardy certainly is all of our hero! It is Tardy who has brought us all together on the Yahoo Forum and CH Kitty CLub it is becasue of Tardy whoe has helped so so many people all over the world and has made a difference for CH Kitties just like him by the 1000's. Tardy has brought so many of us together for the love of CH Kitties. Tardy Pee Bucket will always live on in our hearts. I know today has been the hardest day ever for you Lizzie and Neal. You know we are here for you to support you. We love you Tardy! You certainly had the best parents ever who loved and adored you as we loved and adored you from afar! You will always be my Hero Tardy, if not for you my mission to save CH Kitties would not have happened and I would not have been a CH Kitty mom of 8 years and met awesome friends thru theCH Kitty Yahoo Forum! Thank you Tardy and to your wonderful parents Lizzie and Neal! XXXXOOOO TARDY, We love you!   

Mr. Tardy Peebuclet

*****************************************************************  

Thank God he was put on this earth. I'm so sorry for your loss. The Many CH kitties saved will forever honor his life. 

*****************************************************************  

 Liz, I am so sorry to hear that Tardy passed away.... my heart goes out to you and the rest of your family. This takes me back to the day when Piglet passed. ***HHHHUUUUUGGGGGG***** 

*****************************************************************  

 Lizzie, I'm so saddened to hear that our special boy has died. Tardy was a champion for promoting the handicapable cats, and the reason so many thought otherwise when faced with these special little cats. I saw his beautiful picture you posted earlier, but had no idea he had passed over the Rainbow Bridge. Is that why I ended up with a street rescued CH tom cat? Now vetted, but I'mthinking/ hoping Tardy sent the guiding Angels our way to save Franklin. Thank you Lizzie for loving Tardy so much, and creating a great resource for so many CH newbies. My heart's broken for you..I knew how much he meant to you. :-( 

*****************************************************************  

Liz, this is beyond sad. Losing someone that has been such a huge part of your life is so difficult. Please remember the love you gave to Tardy, and the huge impact he had on the CH kitties of the world. Without you and Tardy, CH would not have evolved into the huge mission that it is today. Bless you and Tardy for all you have done to make the world a better place for all CH kitties and their families. 

*****************************************************************  

So mny wonderful comments for great CH kitty parents. The impact of what you have done will last forever. Continue the work in Tardy's name and never forget what we all have accomplished thru your efforts. 

*****************************************************************  

 I'm so sorry, Lizzy & Neal.... We at CH kitty club & yahoo forum feel like we knew Tardy personally. He was a great pioneer for CH kitties across the globe... God bless you. ♥ 

*****************************************************************  

 I cried tears today for a great friend who lost her very special furry baby! Remember, he will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge, with a million stories of the amazing hunters he an Otter are! I love you, dear and I know you are heartbroken right now. Just know how much love you gave him and how much good you did for him. He is a hero, now and forever. 

*****************************************************************  

So sorry.

*****************************************************************  

 ♥ So sorry :( Love to you and Tardy, from Cathy, Rosie and Miles ♥ 

*****************************************************************  

I am so sorry for you to be going through the pain of Tardy's loss, which unfortunately I know too well...we lost our CH boy at only 6 years old due to a rare, genetic, incurable lymphoma and I thought the pain might kill me at the time, for he was very special, just a very happy kitty in spite of everything....the pain has subsided, though I miss him all the time, but I try to focus on the awareness that he created in every person that met him that CH kitties can live wonderful, happy, full lives, just as your Tardy did....Tardy's legacy lives on not only in your heart, but in the hearts and minds of everyone that that knew him. 

*****************************************************************  

 Beautiful tribute, beautiful baby. So sorry for your loss. He was loved and that love shone to give life and joy to many. ♥ 

*****************************************************************  

 I'm so sorry to hear about Tardy. I've been following the CH newsletter for a couple of years now. You are a great mom & he was lucky to have you. (((hugs)))

-Lesley Craig 

Lizzie, I am so very sorry. He was so lucky to have you, and as you said he knew that. Apparently it was his mission to inspire you to reach out and help other kitties with CH. You have done this so well with both love and humor and Tardy has left his pawprint on all of our hearts. Love and hugs to you during this sad time.

-Anne Baldyga 

 Aww hugs to you Liz... I am so thankful to Tardy for uniting us all with a special bond... that we never would have had if it weren't for him- he is certainly having a blast across the rainbow bridge.... I can't wait until we all meet again XOXOXOOXO Thinking of you....

-Anne Marie Pizzi

Lizzie My email was bombarded with condolences for you and Tardy. It is apparent that Tardy was quite the popular and special cat amongst the CH group! My heart is with you during this time. You and Tardy will be together again but for now it's in spirit and memories.  I am new to this group and have just been gathering info as I am fostering a CH mom and her 3 kittens and am seriously thinking about adopting mom. Again, my sympathy is with you.

*****************************************************************

What beautiful words and a great tribute to him! As the mom of a very senior ch kitty I dread the time that will come sooner rather than later now. My kitty is also my 12 year old daughters best and closest friend which will make this even harder. Our silly cat has been the babysitter as we call her from the first moment we brought the baby home from the hospital.

So heres to the special kitties that don't know that they are special.

Thank you for all you have done. Both of you.

-Liz Nowak

*****************************************************************

Lizzie, my heart is broken for you. We CH parents live every day with the subconscious fear of losing these beautiful little beings (I know I do!). They are so, so special, rescilliant, determined and so many other things. Tardy was obviously a very special, wonderful boy, and he will always hold that special place in your heart. Again, I grieve for your loss and dread the day I will have to say good-bye to my sweet Mazel, our CH of 6 years.  

-Richard Rogers (& Mazel)  

*****************************************************************

He was a true Hero and will always have a place in my heart.  His work will continue through those he helped over the years My tears are flowing as is my love to you and to Tardy.

Thank you Tardy Peebucket and thank you Lizzie Barrett. Tardy for being born and in the care of a wonderful woman named Lizzie, who had the thoughtfulness and know how to get the word out about CH kitties. Two years ago, I found your website out of desperation while searching for information to help four kittens of my own, that were not quite right. I took in a pregnant stray and ended up with 4 ch kittens. They are moderate to severe and the severe one is also blind. The vet said to put them to sleep, as did the next four vet's that I took them to, I refused! Then I found the chkitty club and a wealth of information to help them. I do not participate with the website but I read it everyday for any bit of advice or information. Tardy is not gone, his spirit is in my four special kittens and thousands more, that you are helping without even knowing it, like me. I had to let you know and again, Thank you. Our sincerest sympathy.

 I'm so sorry to hear about your precious little peebucket...he was a great ambassador for CH and neuro kitties everywhere. I'm sure many kitties owe theirlife to the knowledge you both imparted. Rest in peace Tardy.

Lizzie, Our heart, thoughts and prayers go out to you. We so sorry to learn this. What a special boy - and a special mommy you were to this sweet, beautiful kitty.

I am soooo sorry to hear of your loss of Tardy. She has been a fixture in this group. I know she knows you loved her very much. I believe she knew she wasspecial. All our kids are special right? Happy memories will heal your broken heart. There are many you have saved because of you 2 finding each other and many more in just keeping up the work you have done. She is right beside you always sharing your love of CH kids. I cannot even think about loosing litte Cassies' Dream. I joined this group because of her and found help around every corner. Thank you and Tardy for that. I my not post much but I lurk alot. Prayers are with you at your time of loss.
