The Best Paws from the Pretty Kitty Store - Darlene’s Story

"I inherited Darlene from my grandma in 2019 and she became my best friend. I would have gone insane without her during Covid. She was my nurse after my lumpectomy and never left my side.

She was loving and beautiful. I always told her she got her paws from the pretty kitty store and that she had the best ones. Her coat was silky and smooth and her eyes were captivating. She had so much emotion in them. She was a lover of her papa, getting pets on her bench in the sun (especially from Cameron), Churu, drinking out of yeti cups, staring at herself in mirrors, and playing in the toilet when someone forgot to close it.

The house will feel so empty without her presence - no more morning wake up meows for food, no tippy taps down the hallway. The absence of her purrs will be deafening. I wish I knew when certain moments would be the last - like the last time she’d jump into bed, enjoy a Churu, get the zoomies, and play with her treat ball."

We will love and miss her for forever.
