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.
Alley was a typical tortie girl and so stunning with it. She and Mimi were always getting into trouble with Frisky. And now they will all be together without pain and running free OTRB. We will never forget them - torties hold a special place in our hearts 💕
Alley, petite but blessed with full-sized fortitude. As a “little sister” myself, I always appreciated that she gave better than she got, mean left paw and all. Perhaps there’s a special cloud just for girl cats who had annoying brothers who called her pesky!
Alley, when I found out that you had left us, I cried. That night I started to write a poem for you and your brothers Frisky and Othello. You will live on in my memory through this poem and through the beautiful memories of all 3 of you that your Mum shared. Soon, I'll send this poem to your Mum. Watch over us, Angel Cat Alley. 🌈💔🐾😿💘🌠👀☮️
Human: I really liked & appreciated your tortitude. Always so funny when you sorted everyone with your mean left paw.
OTRB Mac: Sorry Alley. I always sided with Frisky when it came to you. You are pesky & always will be. You are bothering us now OTRB. Go away.
Ciarán: You are a role model for independent girl cats.
OTRB Heather, Carrington & Vivienne (torties): You are a purrfect tortie Alley. You had a classic exit as only a tortie could orchestrate. You have always made us proud. It’s a pleasure to have you with us OTRB.
Mum, Angel McGonagall, Robson & Ciarán @McGonagallcat
