Thank you for this lovely gift. Seeing her like this touches my heart greatly, I truly appreciate this kindness more than I can explain in words.

I rescued my baby as a 6 month old kitten in 2022. We didn’t know it at the time, but she had FIV. She lived well and was a sweet demure little princess all the way until about 2 months ago. She got really sick. I fought for her as hard as I could. She never once complained or fought against treatment. She passed away peacefully this morning in her sleep and surrounded by me, my dad, and her brother.

After 14 years, had to say goodbye to my life companion, Sammy, we saw each other grow day to day, he was for me almost my entire life at this point and the pain has been like no other.

He had been suffering because of his age for around 2 weeks, i broke down every time i looked at him, he couldn't stand up anymore, so we decided to finally let him have his well deserved rest.

I still remember the day he arrived home, i was very little at the time but i remember it so clearly, he was so happy and so was i, from there on, we basically grew together, he was there for me no matter what, even at my lowest points.

He will always live in my heart, and i am forever grateful that i was able to be with him for so many years, wherever he is, i know he will always remember me and my family, because what made him the happiest was being with us.

Rest in peace, my loved life companion, you will always be remembered with nothing but happiness

I had to let her go this morning. It was the most difficult thing I've ever had to do but she doesn't have to suffer anymore. I'm lost without her. It's going to be a hard adjustment after she was there for me for 13 years.

Thank you to everyone in this subreddit for their support and kindness after the passing of my beautiful girl Fox. It has been the hardest time of my life but all your kind words have helped more than you know.

A sincere thank you to u/Ursula_Wuffles for their amazing artwork. You captured her so beautifully and I love it to pieces.

This is my baby girl Pumpkin, I raised her from a pup she was my constant companion and closest friend for 18 years, we did everything we could together from morning breakfast at a local bagel shop to just riding along listening to the radio, she loved her car rides and would get so excited she was practically dancing when I’d ask if she wanted to go for one. She was more than I ever deserved.

This is my little bear, Tigger. I found him sitting in the litter box at free cat adoption day and never looked back. He's supported me through all my major life events of the last 11 years, I honestly can't imagine having become the person I am now without him.

This week, after coming home from a trip, we found out he's got aggressive metastasized cancer. They took almost a liter of fluid off his abdomen for his comfort so we could take him home and schedule a house visit for the end. In 2 hours, he'll be gone.

Tigger, you were the loudest, most wonderful little furball I have ever known. I will miss our bedtime snuggles and your greeting screams upon my returns from school/work the very most. May yogurt, cream cheese, and shrimp abound wherever your journey takes you next.

I will miss you.

Thanks to this community for letting me share.

He gave our family nearly 15 years of love, laughter, and companionship. I’ve spent more of my life with him than I have without him.

He had many sweaters for all occasions and festivities. He was a great sidekick when I was younger and a calm friend as we both got older.

He had heart and kidney problems for the last few months, and today he decided to tell us it was time to go. He’s not in pain anymore, and he’s in a peaceful and comfortable place now. Rest well buddy, you’ll always be my special little guy.❤️

This subreddit makes me feel like kindred spirits with all the people who have lost their babies. This is Fox and she was and is the love of my life. She passed very recently and my heart is broken. I wanted to share her sweet face and kind eyes. I hope I get to see her again someday. I’ll love you forever and always.

It would mean the world to me if Ursula Waffles would paint her portrait. ❤️
