Callie Grace Hintz

Callie Grace Hintz aka Callie Allie, Cal Al, Flicky Tail, Puppy Kitty She was born on May 23, 2009. She was adopted from APL at 7 ½ weeks old, a beautiful dilute Calico with bright green eyes and spotted beans under her toes. She never grew into her ears, but it made her unique. She was a sweetheart, but when it came to her feline friend, Simba she would occasionally harass him with a spat when he was close by just to make sure, he still knew the pecking order! She grew up with her human girl, Shelby. Callie learned so much from her as they were inseparable from Martha Speaks cartoons to riding in a Barbie stagecoach and sitting pretty in a purple and pink castle that "they" built. She was read to and watched as coloring crayons created pretty pictures. Sometimes she'd even try to help by batting the crayons around. As time went on, she helped her human girl with fun computer games like Freddie Fish and Pet Vet. Also helped her through the years with homework and school projects. Callie loved cuddling with her favorite human, most of all with soft fuzzy blankets and shawls. She watched as her girl grew up and graduated then left home. Callie had done her job; she was 10 now and a little slower but would always hold a special place in her heart for her girl and cherish the times she'd visit! She got the name Grace because as a curious kitten she made her way on the back of the toilet and fell off. Luckily, she wasn't too banged up, but she limped a little for a short time. Thus, Grace stuck as her middle name. Throughout her 17 years she knew several cats, dogs, and a rabbit. She had 3 feline friends: Navarre, Simba, and Puzzle. 1 rabbit, Pipkin. There were 4 dogs. Sugar, Sophie, Kaya Mae, and Gigi. Sugar, Pipkin, Navarre and Simba had already crossed the Rainbow Bridge and had been waiting there for her. She left behind 1 cat friend, Puzzle and 3 dogs, Sophie, Kaya Mae, and Gigi. The last 4 years she traveled in our RV, camping and adapted very well as she had all the comforts of home. 4 meals a day that equaled a whole can of her special cat food. She mostly stayed on our bed and up in the side closet with a warm fluffy blanket as her favorite past time was sleeping and she was 13-16 years old. Her favorite spots to be, were on my lap with a soft blanket making biscuits and purring to beat the band. She also enjoyed a padded desk chair and the window to watch the birds and sitting in the afternoon sun. The pet taxi was a favorite too, in the cat room with a self-warming blanket. On occasion she'd try out the spare room bed. As she got older, she would sleep a little more and play a little less, but her love and affection grew. She was such a blessing! We will always Love and miss you! Rest easy sweet Callie Allie. You were such a wonderful kitty. We will see you again at the Rainbow Bridge in Heaven and I will hold you once again, scratch your chin and you can make biscuits and purr till you fall asleep. Until then, find Sugar and share your soft bed with her. Walk with Pipkin as she grazes the fields of Heaven, and be nice to Simba! Sit with Navarre once again in the windows of heaven looking at all the birds and making your chatty cat noises. Love you always and forever with all of our hearts, Mom, Dad, Shelby and Brian DOD 6-28-2026
