Losing a pet is one of the most difficult experiences we have to endure. And because pets dedicate their lives to making us happy – even if it’s only for a short amount of time – it’s only proper to honor their lives with respect and gratitude until we lay them to rest. If you’re grieving over the loss of a cat, here are a few farewell cat death quotes.

Honoring a Beloved Cat That Passed
It’s never easy to move on from the grief that strikes you when you lose a friend. But there are ways for you to get by – so you can slowly heal from the sorrow.
- Read farewell or cat loss quotes
Sometimes, how you feel on the inside is expressed better by others – those who also had to deal with losing a pet. If you’re not sure how to put your feelings into words, you can grab inspiration from the Rest in Peace cat quotes we listed above.
You can also pen some pet loss quotes (cat or dog) yourself – if you have ideas.
- Store their items in a keepsake box
One of the best ways we can preserve our pet’s memory is by storing their items in a keepsake box. There, you can put their collar, their favorite toy, their blanket, and other items significant to your pet when they were still alive.
You can also customize or decorate the keepsake box. You can write their name, draw them, or add their pictures.
- Volunteer, donate, or adopt from animal shelters
Another great way to honor the life of your pet – and how they made you feel loved and happy – is by paying it forward. By adopting, donating, or volunteering at animal shelters, you’re also giving yourself – and these animals – the chance to be happy.
Your pet will be grateful that the kind of love you’ve given them will also be given to another pet.
