In loving memory of precious Ash ♥️🐾

“Some angels choose fur instead of wings.” Ash was truly an angel, bringing love and light to his guardian when it was needed most.
Ash was so much more than a cat—he was a healer, a companion, and a lifeline. Adopted in his golden years, Ash and his human found each other at just the right time, proving that some bonds are meant to be♥️
His legacy of love will live on forever. Rest peacefully sweet Ash 🐾🌈♥️
His devoted human left the following touching tribute in Ash’s honour:

“We came into each other’s life when we needed each other most. He was vulnerable and needed a home and I was recovering from a brain injury. I lost so much of my life and he brought companionship. He was a senior cat when he came to me so we didn’t have many years together, but we spent every moment together. Our routine was cemented and comfortable. I like to think he lived his best senior life.
Thanks for your support during this difficult time.♥️”

In loving memory of precious Lucy 🌈

Sweet, sweet Lucy was the apple of her family’s eye, a gentle soul who brought endless joy and love to everyone she met. Whether exploring the trails or beaches on foot (paws) or paddle board, she made every adventure brighter, leaving pawprints on the hearts of everyone who knew her 🐾 🏄‍♀️

Lucy’s final moments were as special as the life she lived—peaceful, surrounded by love, and even marked by the gleeful indulgence of a warm cheeseburger 🍔

She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Rest easy, sweet Lucy ♥️🌈🐾
A heartfelt tribute from her loving and adoring family is included below:

🌈 LUCY - August 19, 2011 - November 20, 2024 🌈

Our beloved Lucy crossed over the Rainbow Bridge early this afternoon. It was a very peaceful and gentle time here at home, thanks to the compassionate vet hospice team at Resting Paws. It even had humourous moments, as they brought Lucy a McDonald’s cheeseburger which she devoured with gusto! The ravages of kidney disease meant that she had been slipping away from us. We take comfort in the fact that her life was very full and happy and that for 13 years she was such a wonderful family member, who loved everyone. Now, all her difficulties are over. She will be missed by Dave and Nan and all the family, and by her feline sister, Maggie. We will be looking for her around every corner, on every trail and beach, in the ocean, on every car ride, on every paddleboard. She surely has earned her angel wings, thanks to her loving nature. 💔😢❤️🐶 Love you forever, Lucy 💗🐶💗

In loving memory of sweet Sadie ☀️

Sadie was the epitome of sunshine and joy—a true sunbathing beauty who found her greatest happiness wading in the ocean and soaking up the rays. A true member of the family, her days were lovingly intertwined with her family’s routines, right down to her morning latte ☕️

Though small in stature, Sadie carried herself with the heart of a queen 👑
Rest peacefully, sweet Sadie. You will always be your family’s sunshine ☀️🌈🐾♥️
A heartfelt tribute from her loving and devoted family is included below:

“Our sweet girl Sadie brought us more than 12 years of absolute joy and love. The sweetest of girls you could ever want to meet, however, she definitely wanted to be queen of the neighborhood. Size didn’t matter, and being a schnauzer, she let the other dogs know.
Sadie loved to travel , and in particular was happiest when stretched out in the sun in Southern California. She loved to romp in the waves and chase her ball at Dog Beach in Del Mar. When at home on the island, Air Force Beach was a favourite spot. She was happy wading up to her belly and then would stand in envy watching the big dogs chase their balls and sticks in the water.
Another important part of her life was licking out my latte mug every morning, prior to having her face washed and her teeth brushed.
She has left a hole in our home that is so much bigger than her 14 pounds. Rest easy, sweet girl. You gave it your all, and we tried our best to give it back.” ♥️🐾🌈☀️

In loving memory of Tiramisu aka “Misu.”😻
This delightful, little lady found her forever home in her golden years♥️🥹 Rescued as a senior, she enjoyed two blissful years of retirement, filled with SO much love, comfort, and endless treats🥰 Misu’s sweet and gentle spirit brightened every moment, reminding us all that it’s never too late for a second chance at finding happiness. Her memory will forever be cherished ♥️🐾🌈
Misu’s angel of a mom left a heartfelt tribute in her honour:

“TiraMISU came to me late in her life, she had a traumatic start and was able to rest and relax while I had her for our short time together.
Misu was a sweet gentle soul that brought me much joy and companionship. Misu you will never be forgotten and sorely missed.❤️

In loving memory of sweet Copper ♥️

Copper was a little dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart♥️ Once a steadfast companion to his previous owner during their time living unhoused, Copper was a loyal protector, strutting the streets of downtown with confidence.
In his golden years, Copper found an incredibly loving home filled with comfort, adventures, and favourite snacks. His “big dog attitude” and unwavering devotion touched everyone who met him🥰
Rest peacefully sweet Copper. You will be deeply missed but forever cherished♥️
A heartfelt tribute from his loving and devoted family is included below 🥹

“Copper was known by many as a staple downtown from when he used to help his previous owner panhandle. He would strut around downtown like he owned the place, always confident and keen to protect his owner.
He came to live with us for his senior years, where he got to pick his favorite spot on the couch, travel around Western Canada and have his fair share of favorite snacks. He was sweet and gentle when he was home with his humans with a touch of separation anxiety. Thank you for protecting me everywhere I went, even though you were less than 15 lbs (we will miss your big dog attitude). I owe you so much gratitude for getting me through one of the most challenging years of my life and I hope that you have found Benny wherever you are. Thank you for helping raise Walter, Mom and Dad will love and miss you forever. “ ♥️ 🐾 🌈

In loving memory of handsome Dexter ♥️

With his big personality and playful charm, Dexter turned life’s small, everyday moments into something truly special. From sneaking bites in the kitchen to playing fetch with his favorite toy mouse, he showed that the little things were, in reality, the big things. His loud purrs and nightly cuddles will be deeply missed. ♥️🌈🐾
A heartfelt tribute from his devoted family is shared below:

“Dexter, our handsome little guy. We were lucky enough to share 12.5 years together. You had such a big personality, full of character though a bit mischievous. You were incredibly friendly, always eager to greet every guest who came into our home. Every box or bag became your new spot to sit, and you loved sneaking bites of food while we cooked. We will forever miss your loud purr, our evening games of fetch with your toy mouse, and our nightly cuddles as we fell asleep. We wish we had more time with you, but we know it would have never been enough. We will love you forever.” 🖤🤍🖤

In loving memory of sweet Pica♥️

An adorable tiny tot with an enormous heart, Pica brought joy wherever she went. Known for her love of costumes, she had a knack for turning heads and melting hearts. Beyond her adorable outfits, Pica was a gentle soul whose presence brightened every moment 🌟

Rest in peace dear friend. Your spirit will always be treasured and your legacy will be held close in the hearts of your loving family♥️🐾🌈

In loving memory of Missy♥️

Missy, a true soul dog, was a firecracker of personality — bold and unapologetically herself with a heart of pure gold 💛 Her loyalty knew no bounds, and the bond she shared with her mom was one of a kind. Missy wasn’t just a dog; she was family, and a piece of her human’s soul 🐾
Missy’s mom shared a heartfelt testimonial about her experience with Resting Paws, which we’ve included below. We are deeply honored to have been a part of Missy’s journey and to have supported her family during such a meaningful time 🌈🐾♥️

“Resting Paws, rightly named, and the ladies that came to help my little friend cross over the rainbow bridge were the two most gentle, caring people I have ever met in this time of grief.
My little girl passed without a twitch and they stayed till they knew my grief was in control, caring and loving to the end.
I recommend them highly when it’s time to let your friend go.”

In loving memory of Milah 💖🐾

This beauty queen loved to be close to all of the action and at the heart of every family moment. Always ready for an adventure, she brought so much joy, a little mischief, and many laughs to every moment.
Rest peacefully dearest Milah 💖 Forever loved, forever remembered. 🐾 🌈
A heartfelt memorial from Milah’s cherished family is included below:

“Milah wasn’t always the goodest girl - but we loved her and she loved us. She was with us when we brought our babies home and she took her role of dog sister very seriously. She was always right beside her kids for outdoor adventures. She loved a good run in a field and a walk in the woods. And she surprised us in her later years by loving her new cat brothers.

Thanks for 16 years of laughs and love Milah girl. Our house feels empty without you.”

In loving memory of Little One♥️

Through thick and thin, this tiny tot was a constant companion and guiding light to his loving mom 🥰.

A heartfelt tribute from Little One’s loving mom is included below:

“Goodbye my love, you will forever be stamped on my heart till my last breath. You’ve been my Bestie, my side kick and my protector for the past 15 years and I couldn’t imagine getting through the ups and downs without your unconditional love and support. Thank you for loving me when I didn’t love myself. Till we meet again...” ♥️🐾 🌈

In loving memory of a sweet bundle of joy named Milo 🎾♥️

Dearest Milo was a steady companion and shadow to his loving momma, bringing warmth to her days and comfort to her nights.🥰 Milo filled her heart with a love that asked for nothing but gave everything. In each other they found their greatest friend and adventure buddy. Rest peacefully sweet Milo ♥️🐾 🌈
A heartfelt tribute from Milo’s momma is included below:

“Milo was my sweet boy who came to me as a puppy when I semi-retired and had more time on my hands to love and cherish him. He became my constant companion who loved to chase his ball, walk with his Momma and friends, camp every summer for weeks at a time, swim with me, and especially float with me on an inflatable on the lake. He was my little buddy who didn’t have a mean bone in his body and loved to lick my feet and give kisses freely to even those who didn’t watch them. I am so grateful that I got to be his Momma for nearly eleven years. Gone too soon, but so peacefully at home when he was having a good day. I will miss you forever, my best friend Milo.”♥️

Rest in peace Ray 🧡🧡🧡

This regal prince, a Master of lounging and morning snuggles, spent many years on the water as an adventurous boat cat 🌊 ⚓️ He was adored and cherished by all who knew him. Rest peacefully dear Ray 🧡🐾 🌈 Below is a loving tribute from his deeply devoted family:

“Ray was adopted in 2012 and true to his orange cat nature he was extremely social and friendly. Ray loved people and he would easily charm anyone who met him. He spent his younger years playing, adventuring on camping trips and enjoying life as a boat cat, where he loved to watch the birds and other wildlife. As he got older, his priorities shifted and he was happy spending his days lounging on the couch and awaiting his next meal. Ray enjoyed morning snuggles and he would always make sure visitors paid their dues by giving him plenty of pets. Earlier this year Ray welcomed a younger sister into his life and during his last few months he enjoyed chasing her around the house and sharing his wisdom about how to win humans over. Ray will always be in our hearts forever.” 🧡
