Over time, you may find people begin to question why you are “still” grieving. The simplest and truest answer: I still love them. And they are still gone.

December is Cat Lovers Month, a time to honor the quiet purrs, soft paws, and unconditional love our feline companions bring into our lives.
For those navigating the harder chapters of a cat’s life, please know you’re not alone. Our team is here to support and guide you along the way. If you’d like, share a favorite photo or memory of your cat in the comments below - we'd love to honor them with you.

The Buddy Fund needs your help 💜

Our Buddy Fund was created to offer financial support to those experiencing hardship, so their pets can receive gentle, loving end-of-life care where they feel safest. Thanks to the generosity of this community, we’ve been able to help many families through some of their hardest moments.

Unfortunately, the Buddy Fund is running low. As requests for assistance continue to grow, especially around the holidays, we are asking for your help. If you're able, we invite you to consider a donation of any size. Every contribution goes directly toward helping a family provide their pet with a peaceful, compassionate goodbye at home.

If you're unable to help financially, sharing this post with your family and friends is also incredibly helpful.

Thank you for your generosity and support!

As a reminder, we will be closed today for the holiday, and will be unavailable to help via phone or email. We will be back in the office tomorrow, November 28th, at 7am to help support you and your beloved companions. If you are experiencing an emergency with your pet, please contact the closest emergency clinic.

Today, on Thankful for My Dog Day, we hold space for every tail wag, every cuddle, every quiet moment that made life brighter. Our dogs teach us to love deeply, and that love lives on in our hearts.

Taking care of a sick and dying pet can take a huge toll, and can involve rearranging your entire life to adjust to the needs of your pet, all at a time when you are the most emotional and exhausted. The constant demands of managing medical treatments, monitoring symptoms, and coping with the uncertainty of a pet’s condition can cause feelings of sadness, exhaustion, guilt, and anxiety. This is called caregiver stress and it's normal.

It's important to know that you're not alone in this journey and we are here to help. Recognizing caregiver stress is important to ensure both you and your pet receive the care and compassion that you need. 💜

When a beloved pet is no longer by your side, the little things they leave behind can feel so meaningful.

Consider turning their food or water bowl into a planter — a quiet way to let their memory grow beside you, every day.

“I was so wrong. Dying is the opposite of leaving. When I left my body, I did not go away. That portal of light was not a portal to elsewhere, but a portal to here. I am more here than I ever was before. I am more with you than I ever could have imagined. So close you look past me when wondering where I am. It’s ok.”
