In Loving Memory

Poppy
August, 2008 – 28 April, 2025

Born feral on Malcolm Island and rescued at a week old, Poppy lived her whole life in Victoria. Independent, smart and feisty, she was a generous giver of gifts from the outdoors. Never a lap cat, except for a few privileged men, All who knew her loved her unconditionally and held no animosity towards her for the odd scratch or bite. Her whole life she cherished an attachment to Buster, who was a small stuffy dog. He is placed in a safe place with other mementoes of her life. Poppy now rests under a Maple seedling in the garden she knew as home, and remains forever in our hearts.

Kali, your gentle spirit and boundless love will forever echo in the hearts you touched.

Goodbye to our sweet beloved girl Silah.

Silah was our joy, our light, our love. Always happy to see you and always put a smile on your face. She travelled everywhere with us, by our side through it all.

She was a protector for the kids, loved and cared for them like her own. The bond she created with each one was unique and will never be forgotten.

The house will never be the same without you. The bed empty. The yard unguarded. Miss you girl.

Forever loved. 💜

She was gentle, sassy, stubborn and I adored her. She was my little sidekick for 16 years and no words can express how much I will miss her!
Also a heartfelt thank-you to Dr. Vanessa and the whole Resting Paws team for their compassion and care.
Thank-you

In loving memory of Scruff — a loyal heart, a gentle soul, and a furrever friend.

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.

Goodbye Dear Mr Bean (aka Beanie, Beanbag, Lima Bean),
You were a force of nature we so enjoyed sharing our lives with for the past 14 years. King of the neighborhood racoons outside, king of the canines inside, a legendary hunter of mice and rats, you were the smartest and savviest cat ever, and super sweet to boot: loving to your family, calm and tolerant with children, super sociable with visitors.
You had a great life, but at almost 21, you were ready for a rest.
May you get endless head scratches, tuna and things to keep you busy in heaven. We will miss you dearly. Rest in peace. ❤️❤️

” My Beautiful Luna. You are swimming in the ocean, you are running through the forest, you’re chasing the birds of course.
Your love for me will never leave me, and mine will never leave you. I’ll meet you at the beach when next we meet. Goodbye for now.”

Always remembered and loved!

Having to say goodbye to you Maverick was one of the hardest things we have ever had to do.
You were the absolute best boy, your pure heart, unwavering love, and happy demeanour will be greatly missed. You were one of a kind and we are so fortunate for the time we had with you. We will love and cherish you forever.
Thank you to Dr. Vanessa and her team for the best way to say the hardest goodbye.

AKA Humph, Meat Man, Pee paws, Meatball, and Grumpy old man 😍

He was a fiercely independent grumpy old man who would lead you on the walk wherever he wanted to go, which was to the best pee spots and whichever nearest store had treats. Humphreys favourite activities were to lay in the sun, eat chicken and all the treats, and pee on the highest points he could find and we gave him ample opportunity to pee on the top of many mountains, beaches, logs, rocks, and gardens. He was strong and brave right to the end and life will never be the same without him in it.

In honour of Kimbo, amazing and inspiring dog, our best friend. We can only say thank you for every single second you fulfilled our souls. Thank you Kimbo for all your love, your energy, your pure eyes, thank your for changing our lives. We will love you forever and you will be with us in our hearts. You were the best friend ever!

She was the sweetest being in the world. She had a good life and I know she made mine better. I love her with my heart forever.

In loving memory of our precious Kaira. We had her for almost 23 years. She will be missed dearly. She brought so much joy and unconditional love into our lives. Rest In Peace beautiful angel.
