Vern Ridgway

vern ridgway 406 pet crematory

Vern was born in September 2006, in an old barn in Harrison MT. We rescued him at the age of 4 weeks. We bottle fed him for less than a week, before he started chewing up the nipples. Time for real food! Right from the start, he was a huge kitty. Not just fat, although he did carry around a few extra pounds, but he was just huge in size. We had no intention of keeping him at first and decided we were going to find him a loving home. But, after the first bottle feeding, the little guy stole my heart. He had such a wonderful personality and he was a great cat. He gave us lots of love and helped me through some emotional stages in life. I know you’re not supposed to have favorites, but he was definitely mine. I called him my little-big buddy. Vern passed away on April 15, 2022. We’ll miss you while we are on this earth, Vern, but we know you’re waiting for us, along with your brothers and sisters, at The Bridge. Fly high, baby boy
