Tippy

2011 – 2026

Tippy was like no other cat. Her personality charmed everyone and she was loved by so many. She loved human companionship and had the best motor. A faithful companion for 15 years, she will be forever missed. We love you, Tippy.

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

Tippy was the coolest kitty on the block. Make that ANY block, because she made any block she visited her own. We will miss you, Tippy.

Report Remembrance

Tippy was the perfect cat. I can still remember holding her as a kitten and feeding her baby food for the first time. She was deeply loved by everyone who knew her, and she was so good at making friends. Waking up in the morning to her sleeping on my bed got me through a lot of difficult times. I'm going to miss her every day. She was a champion biscuit maker and had a powerful purr like no other. I am so grateful for the long, happy life she lived, and all of the lives she touched.
