In Loving Memory

Magic graced our lives with his loving presence for almost 10 years. The most clever of cats he was always present where we were, following us about the house, making us laugh at his tricks, keeping us on schedule, expecting treats at bedtime, impressing everyone with his friendly but dignified furry beauty. He is greatly missed.

Forever in our hearts, a faithful friend and beloved companion who brought joy to every day.

We had 15 wonderful years with Ellie!
She was a gentle and loyal companion and she is greatly missed.
Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Nicola, Heather and the Resting Paws team for helping her peacefully transition.
With gratitude, Robyn and Paige

Harvey came to us when he was 11 months old. We were his third home, and from the moment we met, we knew we were meant to be together. As soon as we got in the car together, he exhaled and relaxed entirely into my chest. He gazed up at me with love in his eyes and then fell fast asleep in my arms. In the 13 years we spent together, he never stopped doing this. It was clear from the very start that we were soulmates.

Harvey was passionate about his people, and we felt the same about him. There was rarely a time that he wasn’t in our laps or snuggled in our arms. I’m quite sure he believed he was a human baby and acted as such.

Harvey loved running freely on the beach – the ocean air in his fur. Zoomies as fast as he could and then running back to us with the happiest puppy grin on his sweet face. When illness and pain had taken over his little body in the last few months and he could no longer run like he used to, he still loved going to the beach to watch the birds and the waves while we snuggled in his blankie. This was how we spent his last days together – including the morning of his passing – in his happy place in the ocean air.

The loss of our sweet Harvey has left a deep hole of grief in our hearts that can never be filled, but I am so grateful for the years of unconditional love that we shared together and that he is no longer in pain. I am so grateful for the care and compassion of Resting Paws and that our precious boy was able to pass away peacefully in the comfort of our home and in our arms – surrounded by love and endless kisses.

We love you forever, sweet Harvey

I found you at work and the family asked if i wanted you. Little did I know how much you would bring to our lives. You were the most special boy, you loved everyone, you gave the best cuddles and you saved me when we lost another pup. You were my sunshine Tucker.
We will meet you at that bridge one day and boy what a day that will be when we reunite again.
Run with your brothers and sisters. In our hearts forever.

Tia
You’ve been a constant presence in my life, and especially this past year, after the passing of my wife, your companionship meant more than words can say.
For 13 and a half years, you were not just a pet—you were a true friend, a loyal companion, and a beloved, vital member of the family.

Now it’s time for you to run free, and be with Mom.
You were deeply loved by all who knew you, and your absence leaves a space that can never be filled.

You will be forever missed.
Until we meet again…

After many years of a life well lived and adventures galore, sweet George said his final farewell at home with his family by his side.

Handsome George was a beloved member of the Resting Paws family and his presence will be missed by all those who loved him and cared for him.

“I am a sailor, you’re my first mate,
We signed on together, we coupled our fate,
Hauled up our anchor, determined not to fail,
For the hearts treasure, together we set sail.”
~ excerpt from The Voyage, by Christy Moore

Artoo has left this world but I will never forget him. He was the sweetest cuddliest little angel guy who charmed everyone he met immediately. He slept in my arms or on my head every night and was in my lap whenever I sat down, a constant loving presence in my life. A lover of sunbeams, cuddles, tents, bugs, and people. He loved meeting new people and would greet them with a meow that sounded like “Wow”. When he wasn’t firmly seated in my lap he would be in my chair waiting for me to return, or in one of the many blanket forts I would build him on a couch or chair. Artoo got me through the hardest times in my life, I loved him deeply and he will always be missed.

Tika was the truest form of unconditional love. She gave the sweetest hugs that would knock you over and the sneakiest kisses when you least expected it. These hugs and kisses were random and always just to show she cared; never for treats. She was our best friend and our strength and will continue to light up our world forever.

“Princess Tink was more then just a cat I rescued from a trash dumpster, she instantly became my world, she was a chatty cat that had and followed her own rules that I learned quickly to accommodate. She gave us many laughs and purrs that cured grief instantly, she will never ever be forgotten and missed tremendously”

Diesel was the sweetest boy and a very loyal friend. He provided comfort to our family during very difficult times. He was full of beans and a great source of fun and laughs. He loved going for walks and on adventures and soaking in the sun. His favourite activity involved any kind of treat toy. He loved food most of all. Diesel is deeply loved and greatly missed. ❤️ 🐾

She loved sitting between her dad’s legs on the couch, chin rubs, & sharing our food, especially burgers. We’ll miss her every day.

“I adopted Charlie from a rescue when I was 18 and he was 3 months old. Over the past 11 years of growing and changing, the one constant was how much we loved each other. We were inseparable. I can’t wait to play fetch with him again someday.”

Always remembered and loved

Snuffaluffagus was the bestest, cutest and most nicest cat. No kitten was loved more. I’m so grateful that we found each other, it felt like it was destiny. You are enormously missed. I love you and always will. She is and will always be ‘sooo cute’.

We will always remember how she was all heart. She took care of all our rescue animals, the loving mama, even when she was still a pup. She was a beautiful soul that will forever be missed.

Remy loved her sunbeams, almost as much as she loved rotisserie chicken and tuna. All she ever wanted was to be cuddled, and be carried around on your hip. She never stopped talking, and could never resist a good blanket den. She was present for so many of our big moments, it’s hard to imagine life without her. 8 years was far from enough. We’ll miss her forever.

With the utmost care and compassion, Dr Vanessa and her assistant attended my home, and helped my beloved Daisy Cat leave this world from a safe and trusted place where she knew she was loved. Daisy was 19 years old, and had adopted me when she was a 3 year old living at the SPCA. I actually had been looking for a black cat & knew nothing about Tortois. Over 3 different visits, Daisy convinced me that she was meant to be mine.
With the help of some kind friends recently, I learned about home hospice pet care. Daisy’s condition had declined rapidly with significant loss of weight. When she then began to regurgitate water I knew the time had come, as difficult as that decision was. Resting Paws was kind enough to respond and attend within 48 hours of my call.
Daisy was a small cat, who when I adopted her appeared to be all head & skinny body. I think she had faced a lot of competition at feeding time, as she initially would “wolf down” all the food she could see for many months, until she began to trust that there would be food. She hated Car rides, and would howl all the way to the Vet’s, thus , it was important to me that she be at home as comfortable as possible before transitioning across the ‘Rainbow Bridge’. I was able to tell her that on the other side she would meet other kitties I had loved in my life : Gee, Ming, Shadow and Sheba, and that she would not be alone.

Savanna crossed over the rainbow bridge on 19 February 2024.🌈 Thank you to Resting Paws for ensuring Savanna’s crossing was a peaceful one. She joins her dad and two best buddies, Dennett and Sabre. I am sure they are all happy to be together again. They are all dearly missed.

Remembering and missing my wonderful little dog and family member Rooney…you will never be forgotten.
