In loving memory of this ray of sunshine, Dolly ❤️☀️
Dolly’s zest for life was evident in the wag of her tail and her bright smile that would light up any room🌟 She had a boundless love for food and a big heart that propelled her forward ❤️
Together, Dolly and her mom covered countless miles on their regular adventures. Each step taken was more than just physical; it was a journey of support and companionship. On days when the weight of the world felt heavy, Dolly was always there to nudge her mom out of bed and remind her of the beauty that still awaited them outside❤️‍🩹
Run free, sweet Dolly. You were a guiding light, a faithful friend, and a force of nature all in one 🐾❤️🌈
Below is a heartfelt tribute from Dolly’s loving and devoted mom:

“I adopted Dolly from a rescue outside of Edmonton when I was 25. I didn’t quite know what I was in for - both in terms of extreme exercise, but also in terms of extreme devotion. I can’t even count the kms we’ve hiked, walked, or ran together. Or the evenings she made me feel comforted. I just had to glance her way and she knew if I was asking her to go for a walk, get a treat, or come up on the couch. She was smart, intuitive, and got me out of bed on days when it seemed like an impossible feat. I can’t imagine what I’ll do without her but I’m so glad we had the time together that we did. Hope that you find some ocean shores to run along and some snow drifts to bounce through, my sweet girl.”❤️❤️❤️

In loving memory of sweet Hanna, aka Moopy ❤️🐾❤️
Hanna was a gentle soul with the sweetest heart, always finding joy in the beauty of nature🌲Whether she was running through the woods or simply lounging in the sun, Moopy lived for the outdoors ☀️ Her loyalty to her humans knew no bounds—she even bravely scared off a bear one time.
Hanna’s spirit was as soft as her curls, and she will be remembered forever. Rest easy, sweet darling Moopy ❤️🐾🌈
Below is a heartfelt tribute from her devoted family❤️

“Hanna aka Moopy came to us in her senior years because of a death in our family. It was not an easy transition for all of us. And still, as the months passed, trust grew, and we learned how to be a new family together. We knew nothing about poodles and Moopy was a patient/persistent/stubborn/smart teacher.... I’ve never known such a gentle-mouthed dog! Fleet-footed, like the Huntress, she was also The Destroyer of Sticks, Hater of Scooters and Widdershins Around Tables. We loved her very much. There is a big hole in our life. When a door swings a little open my heart gives a lurch— will her spongy nose poke inside? I am comforted by the fact that her death was so easy and kind. She left life gorging on liver treats which she couldn’t eat when she was with us because of chronic digestive issues. She was so happy.... We were in the backyard in the shade of the trees. Birds were chirping. Her best toys were nearby.
I picture her spirit trotting lightly ahead, like she would do when I took her off the leash at the bottom of the driveway. That spring in her step. Her tail held high, that easy pace, so swift and graceful. Sometimes she would stop and glance back to see if I was coming. Then, reassured, she’d trot up over the rise and disappear.” ❤️

In loving memory of sweet, handsome Baxter ❤️
Baxter was so much more than “just”
a pet—he was a once-in-a-lifetime soul dog, a rare gem whose presence was pure magic 💎 There are dogs, and then there are “soul” dogs —the ones that find their way into the deepest corners of your heart and never leave. 🐾❤️ Rest peacefully, Baxter—you will always be loved and remembered.
Baxter’s loving mom has shared these touching words in memory of her beloved soul dog❤️:

“Baxter,
You truly were my little gentleman, my unicorn dog, and now my sweet angel.
You took a big piece of my heart with you when you left, and left behind your perfect paw prints on my heart.
Rest easy my sweet, handsome boy.❤️”

In loving memory of Coconut, a sweet purr machine and soul cat 🥥 🖤 ❤️🐾
For 19 wonderful years, Coconut was a constant companion to her soul family, whom she chose — always present for whatever life brought their way. Coconut had a way of being so much more than just a pet; she was a source of comfort, joy, and unconditional love🥰. Through every moment, and all of the change and adventures along the way, Coconut made her family feel complete, filling their lives with warmth and gentle purrs ❤️ Rest peacefully sweet, little Coconut 🥥 🖤🌈🐾
Her deeply devoted family has shared a loving tribute to their beloved Coconut:

“Coconut came into our lives about 19 years ago. She was the only black kitten nestled among many little bodies of white fur and stripes. It was my tenth birthday and the second we picked her up she started purring as loudly as an engine, my Mom and I immediately knew that she was the one. I think she chose us just as much as we chose her. Over the years, Coconut grew beautiful and plump and loved socializing with her fellow female-kind. She was the kind of cat who showed great concern if you were ever crying and would spend the whole day in bed with you if you were sick. Getting chased around and giving my Mom and I a good scare, or at least trying to, gave her much delight. I’ll miss giving her kisses on the head the most.

Thank you for years of playing, friendship, cuddles, laughs, purring, comfort and so much more. You were the best friend I ever had and I’m going to miss you every day. We went in for a cat and wound up with the whole package. Easy travels wherever you are, my friend, I hope we can meet again someday.🐾🖤

In loving memory of sweet Felix, the ultimate cuddle bug🥰
Felix brought warmth and love everywhere he went, always a constant companion and loyal shadow. Felix was known for testing the boundaries of personal space - like Velcro, he remained forever glued to his “mom’s” side. Rest peacefully sweet Felix ❤️🐾
A loving tribute from his mom is included below 🥰 🌈 🐾

“Felix was a gentle giant who loved food, forehead kisses, and his family. He (along with his alleged son, Wallaby) found his forever home with me, and a permanent place in my heart, in early 2021.

Felix was a furry friend to Wallaby; the boys were a team. They played together, cuddled together, begged for my (off limits!) food together, and woke me up every morning together. Felix was a faithful companion to me, too. He stayed close while I worked from home — curled up on the couch behind me, basking on the floor in rays of sunlight, lounging in his window hammock, or sprawled right across my desk. Whenever I went to the bathroom, he guarded the door. He often joined me on my mat for Pilates classes. At night, he slept soundly at my feet. And conveniently, he had the magic ability to teleport right behind me in an instant upon hearing the fridge door open.

I am so grateful to Pacific Cat Clinic for taking excellent care of my beloved boy and for advocating for his comfort; to Resting Paws, for easing Felix’s pain and giving him the peaceful goodbye that he deserved, in the familiarity of his own home; and to both veterinary practices, for their compassion and care every step of the way.

Goodbye, Felix. Wallaby and I will love you forever.”

In loving memory of this sweet chicken nugget, Charlie ❤️🐾

This love muffin was affectionately known by so many endearing names 🥰He lived big while basking in the sun on his private deck, and, he loved bigger💖 His big heart and sweet nature made him unforgettable. Rest peacefully Chicken Noodle 🧡 🌈 🐾
His adoring family left a loving tribute to their sweet Charlie below:

“Charlie (aka Chicken Nugget, Chicken Noodle, Legrande Orange, Char Char and Chew Chew)
We will miss your silent meows, head boops, little love bites and your desire for constant attention. Your silliness made us laugh and smile every single day. You were also our “sweet baby sweetness” and you loved big. We were blessed to have you in our lives. Love you furever.” ❤️🐾

In loving memory of this sweet, little rascal, Fenix - affectionately known as “Feenie” 🖤 ❤️🖤
A cherished black beauty, Feenie graced her family with 22 years of love, mischief, and adventure. With a heart of gold and an unbreakable bond to her special people, Feenie lived a grand life immersed in love ❤️ She preferred to spend her days happily cat-napping in her very own private, luxurious suite — better known as the master ensuite. Rest easy, sweet, little Feenie. You will always be remembered and never forgotten 🖤 ❤️🐾

In loving memory of this bright light, Luna 🐾 💫
Luna was a beach-loving beauty and social butterfly who had a love for life that was infectious 🦋 As the extrovert of her family, Luna always knew how to bring joy and a sense of adventure to every moment 🐾
Run free, sweet Luna. You will always be with us in every wave and sandy, ocean shore 🌊❤️🐾
Her devoted and adoring family left a beautiful tribute in Luna’s honour:

“In loving memory of Luna our best friend and ‘fur baby’ of 12 years. Luna was a gentle, affectionate and sensitive girl that was loved by all who met her. Her joyful enthusiasm for life was tangible. We joked that she was the only extrovert in our little family as she made friends wherever she went. Walking with her first thing every morning was one of the best parts of my day and I’ll miss our special time together. Luna loved her dog park friends, playing with her ball, squeaky toys and going to the beach. Rest easy good girl.”❤️

In loving memory of Baxter, a true inspiration and total lovebug 🌈❤️🐾

Baxter lived each day with a spirit that knew no bounds, reminding us all that life is meant to be lived and embraced with joy, no matter the challenges we face. Despite being in a wheelchair, Baxter’s zest for life was unmatched.
At the heart of Baxter’s incredible journey was his exceptionally devoted and caring dad. Together, they showed us the true meaning of resilience, unconditional love, and living life to the fullest🥰
Baxter may no longer be with us, but his spirit will continue to inspire us all. Rest in peace, dear Baxter❤️
A lovely tribute from Baxter’s #1 fan, his dad, is included below:

“Baxter, a sweet and joyful companion who embraced the outdoors with boundless energy and brought so much happiness into my life. His presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit will forever remain in my heart.” ❤️🐾🌈

In loving memory of this sweet little lion, Walter 🧡🐾😻
A purr machine and snuggle enthusiast, Walter brought warmth and comfort to everyone around him. Whether he was chasing bubbles in the bath or curling up in a cozy spot, Walter’s presence simply made every day brighter.
Rest peacefully, dear Walter. You will be missed beyond measure 🦁❤️🌈Walter’s loving and devoted family wrote a beautifully touching memorial of their sweet little lion below 💔

“Our little lion. With complex health needs and blind since birth, Walter was literally enveloped in love (from mum) and ‘calibrated risk taking’ (from dad) which collectively included innumerable family snuggles, garden explorations at Gramma and Grandpas, bubble baths (!!!), road trips to the Prairies, lazy afternoons ‘listening’ to football or ‘helping’ mum as she cooked aromatic dinners.
Your percolating purrs a.k.a ‘purrbulating’ will be sorely missed along with all the routines and rituals that made our home, well, a home. We take solace in knowing you are no longer uncomfortable, so our many tears are of relief and finitude.
Whether we rescued you, or you rescued us, will be a point of meowing debate.
Sleep well little lion. Sleep well” 🧡🐾🌈

In loving memory of THE best boy, Farley❤️
Farley was more than a pet; he was the heart and soul of his family🥰. In the quiet moments, his gentle presence was felt deeply, and, in the lively ones, his curious spirit shone brightly. When it came time to say goodbye, the love shared in that room was undeniable—an overwhelming testament to the bond that can only be shared between soulmates ❤️ Farley’s legacy lives on in the trails he forged and the countless memories he created with those who cherished him most. Rest peacefully Farley ❤️ 🐾 🌈
His adoring parents left the following touching memorial in Farley’s honour😓:

“Our sweet, gentle, wise, curious sir Farley. We miss your ever presence here.
Find new trails, meet new friends, chase what moves, sleep in the shade.
You have led the way, as you always loved to do. Until we see you again,
we are never far apart.
Farewell kindred friend.”

In loving memory of sweet Bandit❤️. Bandit was an exceptionally affectionate, spirited and quirky prince 👑 with a special fondness for cheese—yes, a cat who loved only the finest of cheeses 🧀 But, Bandit’s love for cheese was just one of the many quirks that made him so wonderfully unique 🥰 You could often find Bandit curled up on “his” cozy pink house coat that seemed to have been made just for him. Bandit was also a fearless hunter, spending countless hours in pursuit of lizards🦎
Rest well, dear Bandit ❤️ May your spirit forever savor the finest cheese, chase lizards under the sun, and rest in the coziest of places ❤️🐾 🌈

In loving memory of sweet Hugo Beans❤️ This little lovebug may have been tiny in size, but the unconditional love and joy that he brought was truly immense 🥰🐾
His adoring family couldn’t have said it better - read their beautiful and loving tribute to sweet Hugo below:

“In loving memory of Hugo (a.k.a. Hugo Beans)♥️🐾

Hugo was a beautiful soul who loved adventures with his family, searching for treats, and cuddling.
He loved sitting by the ocean listening to the waves, feeling the beach sand squish between his little toes, sniffing in the soft green grass, and making friends with cats.

Hugo was there with us through big celebrations and huge losses.

He taught us what unconditional love truly feels like, how to play, and how to appreciate the little things.

For 16.5 years, I was blessed to have him as a best friend and grateful to be able to spend each day together.

He is greatly missed, but his presence is still felt in the comforts of home, in the warm sunshine, and always in our hearts.

We love you, Hugo.”♥️

In loving memory of this loveable, southern belle Roxie 🎀
Roxie was a legendary Shar Pei who was celebrated worldwide by her adoring fan club 😍 🌎 Her loyalty knew no bounds. Roxie lived each moment with a fierce and unwavering spirit, leaving paw prints on the hearts of all who knew her 🐾❤️ Roxie’s devotion to her family was unmatched, as was theirs to her. Together, they stood by each other through every joy and challenge, embodying the true essence of loyalty.
Although she may not have been with us long, Roxie lived a life full of love, adventure, and purpose. Her presence was a gift, her memory a treasure ❤️
Rest in peace, sweet Roxie. You will forever be remembered for the fierce loyalty and love that defined your life 🐾
Her deeply devoted and adoring family had the following words to remember Roxie by:

Roxie was amazing on so many levels, extremely loyal, faithful, fierce but loving. If you were lucky to be loved by her, she knew how to let you know. She was goofy and made us laugh constantly; she was our southern belle. She was celebrated worldwide and had a big impact on the world. She will be truly missed by so many 🌈 ❤️ 🐾

In loving memory of sweet, little Jabberwocky❤️ 👑 🐾
Jabberwocky was a gentle soul who found joy in the simple pleasures of life—curled up on her heated blanket in her favourite spot on the couch, basking in the warmth of the sun, and being by her mom’s side. Together, they shared the adventure of a cross-country move, journeying from Montreal to Victoria. Through every mile and every sunbeam, Jabberwocky was there, as a constant companion and a source of endless love❤️ She will always be remembered 🌈🐾❤️
Jabberwocky’s mom shared a deep bond with her and she wrote the following touching memorial in her honour:

“Jabberwocky was a sweet, sassy girl who loved heated blankets, belly rubs, crinkle toys, and dressing up in pretty outfits. She was happiest when she was by my side and followed me everywhere she could.

Jabberwocky was my first cat, my best friend, and my soul cat. I’ll miss her so much. It’s incredibly painful knowing she’ll never crawl into my arms again, that I’ll never again pet her soft fur or feel her gentle paw on my arm.

Thank you for your love and companionship for 18 years, Jabber. You are forever in my heart. Go play in all the sunbeams, sweetest girl. I’ll leave space for you on the heated blanket.”

In loving memory of sweet, dear Rajjah❤️
Rajjah, named after the beloved tiger from Aladdin, was more than just a cat; he was a gentle soul who brought so much warmth and comfort to his home🥰. In his favorite chair, Rajjah found his throne, where he would bask in the soft melodies of guitar music, purring contentedly as the notes filled the room 🎵 His presence was a calming force, a sweet reminder of the simple joys in life. Rajjah will be deeply missed, but his memory will live on in the music that once soothed him and in the hearts of those who loved him🎶❤️🐾
A loving tribute from his adoring mom is included below:

“Rajjah was a true friend and loving friendly cat to his family who loved him with all their hearts. He was adopted from the BC SPCA in Victoria at age 11, and lived with his family for 13 years.
He loved sitting on his favorite chair listening to the sounds of nature and on his favorite chair outside on his balcony. He loved to be serenaded to and he would happily curl up and listen to his favorite songs that were sung to him in guitar. 🎶
He is dearly missed, and forever remembered by everyone who came into his life.
He was a brave and beautiful cat that woke up each morning and waited for a hug. We miss you our dear Rajjah” ❤️
