Kathy is an absolute angel. She came to meet me at the animal hospital right after I called her at 8pm. She sat and talked with me while I grieved my best friend and made a terrible night so much less painful. She’s kind, funny, and so transparent about the entire process, including the pricing.Kathy truly does treat your pet like her own. My hedgehog, Blue, was my best friend and she treated him with the same care and respect as a dog or cat, something I rarely see even with vets. She even made sure to clip some of his quills to keep for me. That and the clay impressions of his tiny paws were such a heart touching addition that she didn’t even charge extra for.Her price was unbeatable, she came to me both to retrieve him and deliver his ashes, and she was so kind and empathetic the entire time. I will be recommending Paws Forever to every pet owner I know and will absolutely be coming back if I ever lose another pet.

Miss Kathy Kuebler is an absolute Angel. Things happen for a reason at the time they are supposed to… and Miss Kathy was there for me & my 14 1/2 yr old ‘baby NaNa’ doggy that passed away unexpectedly at home. I found her on a late Saturday evening, my Veterinarian not available, only an Emergency referral for her full assistance. Miss Kathy took sweet care of NaNa & returned him most respectfully & beautifully. He’s now with his old friends in their case in my living room! Thank you forever, Miss Kathy!

I want to express my sincere appreciation to Paws Forever with Kathy going out of her way on New Years day to pick up the body of our baby that passed at 2am that morning. Our 14 year old golden retriever that was like one of our children. Our dilemma was putting her body outside and arranging a drop off the next day. I did not want to do that and was in severe grief that Mabel had passed. Kathy not only came New Year’s Day, she comforted me from the suffering I was experiencing. The whole process was made easy and Kathy made it that way. Can’t say enough about Kathy who comforted me in a time of need.Dan Zipf

We are so thankful for the compassion and support shown to us by Kathy during such a difficult time. We lost our Kiki girl at 21 years old and we were lost on what to do. Kathy gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye. She waited hours for me to notify her that we were ready for her to come pick up our girl. Then, she brought Kiki home with a beautiful box and plaque, the nicest reading material, extra fur clippings, along with paw prints. I would very much recommend Kathy to someone going through the loss of a beloved pet. Thank you Kathy, I can’t thank you enough.

Kathy at Paws Forever was a true blessing to our family. We were so upset at the loss of our beloved pet Sophie. She was the sweetest little dog snd was with us for fifteen years. A friend recommended Kathy and we are so blessed that she did. Kathy met us at our vets office and came in after giving us some time with our sweet girl she gently took her from us. Kathy’s compassion for our loss and her love for our pet is what we will always remember about her.Kathy treated Sophie with dignity and loving care as if she was her dog. She brought our sweet girl back home to us and spent time listening to Sophie stories, she did not rush us.We cannot thank Kathy and Paws Forever enough ! Kathy was there when we needed her the most and for that we are forever grateful.We appreciate you Kathy ~ Ken and Nila Henson

We lost our dear pet Pokey after 16+ glorious years of love and fun. Paws Forever was found in a Google search when I wanted more for her final moments than the standard vet services that deliver a plastic bag. After a brief conversation with Kathy, I knew this was what I wanted. Paws Forever and Kathy do not disappoint in services, sympathy, or care. I have an elderly Great Dane and when it is her time, hopefully not soon, I will call Kathy and Paws forever again. Pictures of Pokey-Pokester-Potato- Tater and what some of we received are pictured. Good luck and much love to those who need this service.

KATHY IS AMAZING! We called many places for pet cremation when our Lucie passed. This dog was considered one of our Children, we wanted the best experience. Lucie passed in the middle of the night on a Sunday and no one we spoke with was kind or willing to set up service for her at last minute, until Kathy at Paws4ever! She came out within 45 minutes and treated her like a loved one. Set everything up for her cremation exactly how we wanted her, and it was so easy, we love Kathy and are forever grateful!

I lost my Trixie after having her over 16 years. I looked on google and saw Paws Forever and it wasn’t far away. I called Kathy and she was so sweet and understanding. I had told her my girls time was coming near. Little did I know it would be the next day. I cannot recommend this place enough. The caring and kindness she shows is unbelievable. If I ever have another baby and it’s time to cross the rainbow bridge, I wouldn’t hesitate to use Paws Forever again. I wish I could give it more stars.

My Siberian Husky Apollo passed away in the evening after a long battle with several health issues. Kathy with Paws Forever talked us through the process that evening and we were able to make end of life arrangements. Now we have the paw prints and other items to memorialize Apollo's passing. I highly recommend Paws Forever if you find yourself in a similar situation

Kathy was amazing to work with. My dog passed in the middle of the night and I came across Paws Forever through a Google search. I called the phone number and got a voicemail. Kathy called me back within 30 minutes and we started making arrangements. I never felt rushed with Kathy. She gave me all the time I needed to say my goodbyes. I loved that Kathy made a call the next day to see how I was doing and just to chat with me. A few days later, Kathy brought my baby home in a beautiful cherry wood box and metal name plate. Kathy also included hair clippings, clay paw print, and an ink nose print, along with some sweet poems/loss of pet letters. Thank you Kathy for all you do.

I used Paws Forever for cremation in December, when I said goodbye to my beloved 13 year old dog Tuscany. From scheduling the appointment to the pick-up of my baby, Kathy was incredibly responsive, compassionate and very pleasant to work with. I could tell immediately how much she cares for all animals and how dedicated she was to providing Tuscany and me the most respectful service.Kathy personally delivered her ashes in a beautiful wooden urn with a gold-plated engraving, a paw print clay keepsake, ink paw print and nose print, fur clippings, and a touching poem as a memorial for Tuscany. She also posted Tuscany's photo on their website and just seeing the photos of the many different species of animals she has serviced shows the depth of her love for all living things. I will always highly recommend Paws of Love to anyone looking for these services and will use them in the future for all of my fur babies. Thank you so much Kathy for what you do and for the compassion you showed to my family and Tuscany.

My hamster had passed away after what seemed like a short 2 years together. Even though my hamster was small she meant the world to me. Kathy made the process so much easier to handle and treated even my small hamster with care. I recieved a beautiful box and paw prints. There was a wonderful poem with pieces of my hamsters hair. Kathy is so kind hearted and she is beyond comforting. I highly recommend using her services.

My little man Cappuccino had been struggling with a mystery illness we couldn’t find a cause for. It was heartbreaking when the pain medicine was upped to the maximum dose and it had no effect on his pain. He was a very independent guy. Kathy treated him with the dignity and respect he deserves, which I couldn’t be sure anywhere else would give him. She was always there to listen and provide comfort. The package we were given with his footprints and some hair is something we will treasure forever. His box is beautiful and so is the plaque. It was and is a very difficult time, but she eased our suffering as much as possible. This was my first time using a service like this and I’ll never do anything else. I cannot recommend Kathy and Paws Forever enough.

Kathy was so gracious and caring the entire time. She spent time on the phone while I cried over what to do with my sweet hammy 🐹 explaining how the cremation service worked. She returned her with a beautiful box and things to remember her by. It was tough deciding what to do but I’m so glad I called Kathy and I felt like it was a sign that she was the one who picked up after numerous calls. It means so much that someone took great genuine thought and care of my girl! Thanks Kathy!

My dog Stan was suffering with a long illness and unfortunately I had to euthanize him. I found Kathy’s website through a Google search. She contacted me right away and was able to make arrangements for his cremation. She met me at the veterinarian’s office when I brought Stan in. When it was all over, she talked to me about Stan and was very understanding and empathetic. A few days later, she delivered his remains to me in a nice cherry wood box. She also included a paw print, nose print, and some clippings of his hair in a folder. Kathy did an excellent job. She stayed in contact throughout the process. Thanks Kathy

I cannot possibly describe how much I love my dog -- my friend of 16 years -- Dane. So just believe me -- I love him with all my heart, though he's physically no longer with me. For me, making end-of-life arrangements was just heartbreaking. But Kathy made it so much better for me. She is sincerely caring, understanding, and just wonderful. She took plenty of time to explain everything, and she treated his remains with loving care. I am forever grateful for her. Thank you, Kathy. My sweet Dane deserved you!

Kathy was amazing. If I could I would have rated her 10 stars. She came right over and stayed with me for at least an hour if not longer. I wanted to hold him as long as possible and Kathy understood. Max was a member of my family. My grandchildren called him Uncle Max. He was my late husband’s buddy. Max will be forever missed. My family will be forever grateful to Kathy. We were blessed to have her take care of Max. Thank you Kathy.

Kathy was superb throught out the whole process. She met me at the vet to meet Frankie before he went over the Rainbow Bridge. She then waited and took him after we left. Today she returned his ashes along with afootprint, nose print and fur clippings. 😍 Thank you Paws Forever.

On May 27, I lost my fourth Sheltie, Gracie GraceAnn. I contacted Kathy and she came to my home late at night to take care of Gracie. Kathy has taken care of three of my four Shelties, my fur babies, my kids. I would not trust anyone else to take care of them. This is her passion and her calling. She is the most caring and compassionate person who will be there to comfort you and listen to you when you have to let your loved one rest. She understands what you are going through. I am blessed that she has been there for me every time.

I can’t say enough positive things about Paws Forever and Kathy K. Our beautiful, twelve-year-old Australian shepherd, Brady, passed away suddenly at home from complications of cancer we only found out he had two days prior. We were scared, in shock, traumatized, emotional and so unbelievably sad. We didn’t know what to do or who to call, nor were we able to think very clearly given the circumstances. After making a few inquiries, we were referred to Kathy at Paws Forever. Kathy came to our house to pick up Brady. She was so kind and compassionate, offering gentle, wise words of comfort; she truly understood what we were feeling. She didn’t rush the process but truly listened to us as we shared what happened, and all about Brady and why we loved him so much. She shared her experiences of losing beloved pets and helped us to understand our grief and what to expect in the days and weeks to come while moving through the process of grieving our sweet boy. While it was so difficult to let her take him away, we knew that Brady was in the best hands with Kathy, who ensured he was treated with dignity and that we received his actual remains after being cremated. Brady was returned to our house the very next week in a gorgeous wooden box with an engraved plaque. She captured his paw print and snippets of his beautiful fur for us to remember him by. We are so grateful we were connected with Kathy. Your pet doesn’t have to die at home to use the Paws Forever services. Kathy will go to your veterinarian’s office to pick up your deceased pet’s remains and will provide your furbaby with the same loving care as she did for our Brady boy. The cost is not much more than the impersonal end-of-life services provided by a veterinarian and so worth it to know that your fur family member won’t be treated as mere animal disposal. Our pets bring so much joy and happiness to our lives; they deserve to be treated with honor and grace when they leave us. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Paws Forever as you prepare for your sweet furbaby’s departure from this world or if your beloved pet passes away unexpectedly at home. Rest assured that you and your pet will be in the very best hands.

There are absolutely no words to express how amazing this company is and how compassionate and empathetic Kathy is. When our wonderful husky Nikki passed away we both were worried how we could lift her to the car and to our vet. Worried if we could even emotionally handle picking up our dog. When she came to our house immediately there is this warmth and comfort. Kathy doesn't just pick up your dog and run. she takes her time to get to know you and your situation, with respect and kindness handles your situation that I can only compare to a literally angel to help with a process that no one wants to deal with. I was at first worried how she would be able to pick up our dog. She absolutely handled it like a pro, all while being graceful and confident handling her. putting her onto a stretcher, buckling her on it and then putting a pink cozy blanket on top of her.... We chose to have Nikki cremated and brought back to us. she was put in a beautiful cherry wood box with a personal engraving. Along with clay imprint of Nikki's paw print, a folder of beautiful poems, one poem including some clippings of her fur, and personal card from Kathy herself and a nose print of Nikki in the card. Kathy is a woman I would absolutely trust to come to again if anything else happens to my other pets. The kindness she showed not only to us but to Nikki will always have a lasting affect on us.

The passing of our beloved Milo marked the third time we haveutilized Kathy's services, having previously entrusted our little guys Clancy and Trevor to her care. As always, she not only cared for Milo but focused on us as well. She always provides respectful, dignified support, and is just the kind of person you would entrust your loved one to in a time of such profound grief. She was careful to keep us informed throughout the cremation process, and brought Milo home to us in a beautiful cherry wood urn, along with lock's of his hair, a nose print, a paw print, and some wonderful printed material to memorialize his passing. We recommend Kathy and Paws Forever to anyone dealing with the loss of a beloved pet. She's simply the best.

Kathy was absolutely amazing. If you’ve lost your furry family member and want true care for their remains call without hesitation.We had to hastily decide what to do when our 12 y/o passed early one morning. Calling the vet they were unsure of when our pup would be collected and transported from the vets back room and then said it would be about 2 weeks ish till we would get him back.When I called Kathy that morning she came by right away to gracefully transport him to the crematory personally herself. She left with him from our house Wednesday morning and returned him again to our home by Friday afternoon along with all the extras others have mentioned.Thank you for your help and support during this tough time for our family!

We lost our precious Princess in December 2022. She was only 4 years old. Paws Forever, Kathy Kuebler, helped us through our unexpected loss. Her compassion for the services she provides goes beyond expectations. Twenty-eight days later we lost our 19 year old, Doughnuts. Once again, Kathy was by our side helping us through the process. Thank you Kathy for providing us with you compassion and willingness to help us through our loss.

We send our heartfelt thanks to Kathy for her compassionate and loving care given to our sweet girl Kensie. She couldn't have shown Kensie and us more care, love and sympathy. Thank you Kathy for all your help and guidance to make Kensie's transition to Rainbow Bridge as bearable as it could be for us. Maureen and Dale

I had a beautiful Miniature Pinscher, his name was Frankie and I rescued him from animal control 2 years ago. He was a senior dog that got dumped. Upon bringing him home, I immediately suspected he had a medical condition that needed treatment.The next day my vet confirmed he had kidney disease. Since I had no idea of Frankie's past environment, the best I could do was give him a prescription diet.He was cherished and happy.Last week, Frankie went into total kidney failure. He declined rapidly. My heart was shattered.I called Kathy and she dropped everything and got to my vet within 30 minutes.Frankie crossed rainbow bridge and my heart was thankful he wasn't suffering anymore but I was even MORE thankful that Kathy was there to handle his cremation.RIP my darling....until we meet again ❤️

Kathy was amazing! She came in and helped our family through one of the worst times and we didnt know what to do. She took her time and walked us through everything and was so respectful and caring of our beautiful girl. She went above and beyond to try and make one of the hardest worst times just a little bit easier. I highly suggest using paws forever and never going anywhere else. She is absolutely amazing.
