The Cornell Feline Health Center offers a way to pay tribute to the memory of a special cat, either personally or for the cat of a friend or loved one. By expressing your love through a memorial contribution to the Center, you can help ensure healthier lives for future generations of cats. Help keep the memory of a special cat alive by supporting the center's feline health studies.

For your tax-deductible contribution to the Cornell Feline Health Center, we will send a condolence letter to your friend or relative in memory of their beloved feline. Your expression of compassion can be a very meaningful and comforting gesture to a grieving pet owner. Gift amounts are not disclosed; however, gifts of $100 or more will be published on the Honor Roll in the Center's Annual Report.

Pet Loss Support
Each year, the Center receives many calls from people grieving the loss of a beloved feline companion. Our staff comprises, cat lovers devoted to improving feline health, and we understand that sharing life with a pet is one of life's greatest joys. In addition to being unique creatures, cats are endearing, loyal, and affectionate companions who quickly become true family members. The anguish we feel when a beloved pet dies, or becomes seriously ill and forces us to consider the humane choice of euthanasia, can be excruciatingly painful. At times like this, the emotional support and empathy of others can be deeply comforting.
