A Best Friends Angels Rest Pet Memorial

Max

2005 – 2024

Max... (also known as Doofus or Max Maloo)... if you were seated, he was next to you or on you. If you weren't, he was following you around. (Or at the faucet.) Will miss our social little cuddle muffin so much especially as winter arrives...

We believe in honoring the lives of pets

Here at Best Friends, animals have such a special place in our lives. We honor those pets we’ve loved and those who need our help today. At Best Friends, we keep pets in our hearts

Remembrances

Leaving a personal story, memory, or words of support for a pet’s family is a heartfelt way to pay tribute and provide comfort. As part of your remembrance, we also invite you to leave a virtual token along with your words — similar to our tradition here at the Sanctuary of leaving stones, beloved items, or small toys on the graves of cherished animals.

Leave Your Remembrance

My condolences on your loss. Max was a handsome king who knew he was an honored feline within his home. His family Kurt and Wendy bestowed much love, respect and admiration. May you rest in peace your highness. You will be missed dearly and remembered. Your family will meet you at the end of the rainbow bridge.

Report Remembrance

I’m so sorry for your loss Wendy and Kurt. Max sounded like an amazing little companion that kept you both on your toes. I know you gave him such a wonderful life and I hope you’ve found some comfort in that. Hugs, friends.
