Romeo

2012 – 2025

Romeo you were our first kitty (sorry Chaz) and made us realize how much we needed saving. You paved the way for the next 3 kitties but made sure everyone knew you were the OC (Original Cat). Our sweet kitty aka as Crash (for his habit of sliding off furniture during a nap) or Mitts (for all those toes our polydactyl had). We will forever miss your random MEOW from the other room, letting us all know where you chose to nap for the day. Heartbroken we will never see your sweet face in the window when we pull into the driveway ever again.
Until we meet again, enjoy your wings sweet Romeo, we love you so much.

Pet Parent

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.

Show your love and support

You can let someone grieving the loss of a pet know that you care. Whether you send calming wind chimes or a sympathy card, your gift can be a source of light for someone during a difficult time.
