Little Purrl

2006 – 2023

A tiny 6 week old kitten came to live with us in Sept 2006. She was the sole survivor of a litter of 5 kittens abandoned in a bus at birth. What a bold & beautiful soul! Little Purrl was so "sparkly" & curious about everything! Our existing 3 kitty family immediately welcomed her into the clowder. Tiny Purrl was petite in body, but her "tortitude" was big, as was her PURR, thus her name. In Oct 2023, after 17+ years of sharing life & love, she crossed peacefully into spirit. Such a tiny kitten has left such a gaping hole in our lives & hearts. Purrly-Q, we love you more than everything & miss you every day, but we're grateful you are at peace, out of pain & reunited with your kitty family on the other side of life. We'll see you there! XXOO, Mighty Q
Your grateful humans, Cat & Karen

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

Share the memory of your pet

By sharing this pet’s memorial page, you’re helping to keep the memory of a beloved companion close — and you’re helping others understand the place pets forever inhabit in our hearts.
