Stoli

2005 – 2026

Stoli, you were everything to our family for 21 years. You were older than all of our kids. For 21 years you were there for every birthday, every holiday, every sad and happy moment, and a part of so many memories. Remember when you tore up mom’s wedding veil days before our wedding? We do. I think that was life #1 of 9. You used to hide in the unfinished basement when we took the laundry down for washing and then at the correct moment would zoom by with a flying leap and a meow. You were our dog dressed up as a cat. You were always at the door to greet us when we came home. You gave us comfort in our times of need. You provided our kids more joy than you would possibly ever know. You touched our lives in so many ways and you will be missed so very very much. You will always have a very special place in our hearts. Goodbye, Stoli. There will never be another cat like you- you leave big paws to fill!🌈

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.
