This cat marker is where we buried our sweet cat Little Bear’s ashes today.

Although it was February when we made the gut wrenching decision that after 14 months of illness, her time had come – we still cried, and I held onto the purple tin that held her ashes

They offer private cremation. Why does this matter? Jo Ann Davis, founder of Cherished Pets (she was featured in the video Love Your Cat Tica Cat Show: chapter 4) specializes in pet bereavement. Ms. Davis discussed the common practice of group cremation, as opposed to single cremation. The only way to guarantee that the ashes you receive are your beloved pet, is by using a respectable crematorium that promises individual cremation. As unpleasant as this topic is, it was important to us to know that the purple tin I was clutching before saying my final goodbye to Little Bear, was really her ashes I hugged.

Our pet marker for Little Bear was made by Rock it Creations. They make all kinds of engraved stones for a multitude of uses, including pet markers. They were great to deal with and helpful.

miss you Bear.
