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.
BUTTERCUP
A pretty little girl lost in the city
A terrible fate for a beautiful young kitty
Rescued from a life on the street
In her little cage, she looked so sweet
We took her home and she was afraid
Suspicious of each move we made
Then we got her a friend, but Buttercup was sick
They never found a way to click
Her illness appeared after we didn't see
We tried to save her, but it was not to be
The rest was sad and hard to see
I wonder if she misses me
