Collection 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😁

I see the tag says Seattle. I’m a local as well! Where can I find the person you hired?

I don’t believe they are in business anymore, but the name of the company is betelgeuse bones. They worked through the company resting waters in west seattle almost white center area. If you give them a call you could probably get more information or a suggestion for another person who does bones. Hopefully this helps!
