It breaks my heart to write this post—one I truly believed was still years away. But life, in all its beauty and unpredictability, has once again reminded me how fragile and fleeting time can be. Yesterday we said goodbye to our best friend, our beloved store mascot, and the soul of our shop—Scarface.
Scarface wasn’t just a cat. He was our cat. He was your cat. He belonged to everyone who ever walked through our doors. Whether you came in for supplies, support, or just to say hi, chances are you were greeted by his steady, confident presence—probably from the checkout counter, where he unapologetically claimed his throne.
He was a one-of-a-kind soul. Full of mischief and heart, Scarface had a personality larger than life. He was the only cat I’ve known who would play fetch for hours, shake and sit for treats like a dog, and greet customers with the calm confidence of someone who knew he ran the place—because he did.
Scarface helped raise hundreds of rescue kittens over the years. He’d let them nurse on him, clean them like a doting parent, and gently corral them when they got a little too curious. He was patient, loving, and endlessly giving. A mentor, a nanny, and a friend to all. He was unbothered by dogs, unafraid of anything, and absolutely irreplaceable.
We are devastated. There’s no other word for it. Our hearts are shattered, and the store feels impossibly quiet without him. The counter is too clean. The air feels heavier. But even through the tears, we know how lucky we were to have shared life with him—and how lucky he made every customer, every kitten, and every one of us feel just by being who he was.
Scarface, thank you for everything. You were the best damn cat any of us ever knew. Just know you are deeply loved and terribly missed.
Until we meet again, buddy. 💔
