TW: Pet passing
Its with the utmost sadness that our oldest member Raven has went to the Rainbow 🌈 bridge 🌉. He just turned 18 in May and his health declined so quickly and he passed at home in my arms. He did not feel any pain and left loved and warm.
Those who knew Raven knew him as a grumpy old man. Growling and hissing were his love language and he lived life on his own terms. He didnt really like alot of people but me and my husband Bryan earned his trust and his love. Raven was not fond of anything really but his baby food. He would not have wanted to go to the vet to be put to sleep so we honored his wishes and kept him warm, comfortable and loved.
He was very grumpy--- except when it came to kittens. He would allow them to crawl all over him and only growled a little when they stepped on his hips. When he was very close to passing 2 kittens sat with him in his bed and when he passed a kitten sat right next to him. That definitely tracks for Raven because he liked kittens and they liked him.
Raven came to us as a super senior almost 16 yrs old and he was with us for 2 years. We are going to miss his big personality and his Raven manuerisms. He is the first litter we ever had back in 2008 so hes always held a special place in our hearts 💕 🐈.
We are going to have a short rememberance ceremony at Cherished companions pet funeral cremation service on monday if anyone wanted to come.
We want to personally thank everyone who donated baby food, tiki cat meal replacer and purina hydracare. You single handedly gave an old man 2 more years of grumpiness. He existed out of spite and we thank you all for helping with that. 🙏 🤲 ❤️
Love ya buddy, and hiss growl, love you too.
