Cat memorials: Bring comfort and peace to those who are grieving

Cats are cuddle bugs and best friends. They make our hearts fuller for loving them. They can make you laugh and warm your heart. And their passing leaves a hole in our lives forever. So when they pass, it seems only right to memorialize them.

Finding the right tribute to honor a beloved feline companion can provide comfort during a difficult time. While the grieving process is unique, we hope that you find some comfort in our cat memorial gifts. From cat memorial stones to wind chimes to sympathy cards, a personalized cat memorial gift helps celebrate their unique spirit and the joy they brought to your life.

Losing a cat means losing a cherished family member. When you remember your cat in a special way, you not only honor their life, but you also help yourself heal.

About Best Friends Animal Society

Pet loss grief can arrive when we least expect it, but there is hope and healing in remembering those we love.

At Best Friends, we understand the special place that pets have in our lives — they’re our confidantes, our support systems, and our best friends. That’s why Angels Rest was built as the heart of Best Friends Animal Sanctuary — to commemorate the special bonds we share with our loyal companions. It’s a place where pet memorial stones line the pathways in between hundreds of wind chimes that sing with the cool canyon breezes, each note a tribute to pets who were deeply loved.

A peaceful place of pet remembrance

To honor the lives of those we have lost, each month a blessing is held at Angels Rest to pay tribute to the beloved Sanctuary animals and pets of Best Friends members, staff, and pet lovers who have recently passed. These blessings celebrate the extraordinary animals who have touched our lives and provide a way for people with pets to find healing and hope among fellow animal lovers.

Together, let's celebrate the memories of our pets and the enduring love they inspire at our monthly pet remembrance blessings.

Each blessing ceremony is held at Angels Rest on the last Thursday of every month and is posted online via Best Friends’ YouTube channel or Facebook page the following week.
