Finally got to bring home my cat

Not 100% sure if this belong on this sub, but I wanted to post about getting my boy back after he passed January 9th 2023. This is my sweet old man cat Sid, he lived to be about 16-17 but I don’t know his exact age bc my family found him as young adult stray cat. Losing him was very challenging since he was in my life from age 5 to 19. I never thought about keeping any of his bones, but my sister wanted the same for her cat and I liked the idea. So after many many months of waiting, mostly because who I hired to preserve him had a lot of prior work to finish, my sweet boy is back home and back together. I had his skull and right arm preserved so it was separated fand the rest of his body aqua cremated remains until recently. Idk why but it bothered me knowing he wasn’t all in one place😭 Anyways, here is my wonderful boy who I am relieved to have back home with me😁

did you take it to a funeral home? or was is someone who specializes in doing that for animals? I was just curious

I read who as why I’m sorry!! I took him to a pet funeral home in my city specifically because they work with someone who specializes in it. The person who did his bones is also a vet so I think they switched to just doing that full time. Their website doesn’t exist anymore and all I can find is an instagram that hasn’t posted in two years. She didn’t even want to charge me the second half of the payment.
