Welcome to our
Resident Memorials
where we honor the cats that we have loved and will continue to love, even as they are no longer with us.

Robinson
Robinson was born on May 8, 2020. He was an Arabian Mau and came to the Cat Colloquium from a private rescue organization in Caroline County in August of 2020. Robinson arrived at the Cat Colloquium with a severe eye infection. Despite his condition and likely some pain, Mr. Robinson was a very active and playful kitten. He was often seen chasing his brothers, Douglass and Frederick. After many weeks of antibiotics and amazing doctor care, it was determined that his eyes would need to be removed. He was then pain free and such a happy cat; we were delighted to have him and to share his story with our visitors. We did not suspect that Mr. Robinson had multiple, unusual bacterial infections. He passed away in August 2021, and left a very large hole in our hearts. We now share his story and empathize with many of our guests that have lost loved ones.
Abraham Robinson was a life-long resident of Chestertown. He owned and operated an ice cream parlor in the 300 block of High Street in the 1920’s. Since the Cat Colloquium is located over an ice cream establishment, we thought it a perfect tribute to name our dear kitten after this wonderful man.
Woody
Woody was our beloved next-door office cat, born May 19, 2025 and adopted from the Animal Care Shelter for Kent County. His name was a playful nod to the construction company beside us, where he lived, but Woody quickly became a familiar face at the Cat Colloquium, too. Through the “secret” entrance, he would come over often to visit all of his pals — both human and feline alike.
Woody had a full zest for life and brought so much joy to everyone who met him. He loved exploring, watching the mice in fascination, playing with toys (especially Cat Dancers!), and navigating the climbing wall boxes like a pro. Friendly to everyone he encountered, he was especially adored by our younger visitors and became a favorite of many kids. Woody was simply so much fun — the kind of cat who could turn an ordinary day into an adventure just by showing up. He is very much missed and will always be remembered with a smile.
Abraham
Born on October 24, 2023, Abraham was adopted from the Caroline County Humane Society, where he arrived with eye abnormalities and was almost completely blind. But Abraham never let his limited vision define him. He was a playful, affectionate, and independent boy who quickly learned his surroundings and found his way around with ease. He loved chasing fireflies and exploring the soybean fields when he went home with one of the staff members — sometimes, all you could see was his tail meandering above the plants.
Like Robinson, Abraham was named in honor of Abraham Robinson, a lifelong resident of Chestertown who owned and operated an ice cream parlor in the 300 block of High Street during the 1920s. Because the Cat Colloquium is located above an ice cream establishment, we felt it was particularly fitting. His name also paid tribute to our beloved cat Robinson, whom Abraham closely resembled in both his looks and his eye conditions. Abraham brought so much joy, curiosity, and love into the lives of everyone who knew him. He will always be missed and will forever remain a cherished part of the Cat Colloquium family.
