On Tuesday, we said goodbye to my sweet girl, Cinders. She was the last of my three original amigas. It was 18 years ago this month that I saw her at the Ottawa Humane Society and knew that she would be the perfect addition to our family. What she lacked in size she certainly made up for with her personality and attitude. She ruled the house and two dogs five times her size. Thank you for all the laughter, joy, snuggles, purrs and unconditional love you brought to our lives. You will be forever in my heart and I will miss you every day. Love you sweet Cinders! ❤️❤️❤️

Chase, you were the sweetest, cutest, and most affectionate best friend that anyone could ever hope to have. Cuddling up with you was the quiet highlight of our days. We loved you more than words can say, and miss you more than you will ever know.

In loving memory of Milo. The memories of you keeping me safe during joyful and dark life moments showed me the true connection and bond that is shared between animals and humans.

You were a handsome Buddha, tuxedo bundle of true love and companionship. Just take a look at that classic pose and it’s not hard to see!

Spending endless hours by your side soaking in your unconditional love provided so much comfort, almost too challenging to describe in words.

The pain experienced with your passing illustrates how deep the bond can be between animals and humans. I am glad we shared so many amazing years together.

You are now with Cleo and Baby. You will be dearly missed but never forgotten.

So much gratitude to Claire Place and their demonstrated true compassion and empathy during a time of sorrow.

How do you say goodbye to your best friend of 17 years? You were the most loving, cuddly and sweet kitty ever! Watching you go in my arms, lovingly, at home was so difficult but also comforting. Mama is going to miss you and love you until the day I die. Verona really loved you too xo😽😽

He was absolutely wild and so incredibly sweet! Quirky and magical! So expressive and hilarious! He was so big in size and personality Oh and that fur!! ugh, an absolute sensory dream!! (which never went unappreciated).
Oh sweet Axel! We will love you, honour you, speak dearly of you and miss you greatly for the rest of our lives. You are so deeply loved and that will never die.
In heartbreak and gratitude,

Frodo, you were the gentlest of dogs. You always knew when someone was hurting and would do everything you could to make them feel better. You gave us so much and life is not the same without you. We will miss you and love you always and forever. Rest well, big guy, you deserve it.

Nadira
Born (aprx) March 17th, 2012 - Adopted May 27th, 2015 - Passed November 12, 2023
Nadira came to us as a rescue in 2015 after spending the first 2 to 3 years of her life as a feral barn cat in Val-des-Monts, QC. She was rescued while pregnant by Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue and put up for adoption shortly thereafter. She had her litter on March 17, 2015, 10 days after being rescued. We had only recently begun to think of adopting another cat after the passing of our sweet Calico, D'Arcy, a few months before. The moment we saw Nadira's photo on the Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue webpage, we were head over heels in love, and put in a request for adoption within minutes for her and her little Calico baby, Coraline. It would be a couple of extra weeks before we could bring Nadira home because she had to finish nursing her litter as well as 2 orphaned kittens who needed her help. From the moment we brought her home, she was a treasured family member and a constant joy in our lives. A gentle, sweet, loving soul that we had the privilege of caring for, for 8 and a half years. Our sweet Nadira will be forever in our hearts.

Max brought so much joy to all who knew him, and was truly one of a kind. He enjoyed car rides, cuddles, nature walks, swimming, and playing with his furry friends Honey Bear, and Winnie at the dog park. He was a great "sous-chef" /taste tester in the kitchen, and at the end of a "ruff" day would plop himself in front of his favourite show "I Love Lucy". He added so much joy and love to our lives, and will 'fur'ever be in our hearts.
