Small Friends, Same Gentle Care

Sometimes the smallest pets leave the biggest spaces in our hearts.

If you’ve lost a hamster, guinea pig or any small companion, you might be wondering if anyone truly understands. I do.

These little lives matter just as much. They deserve the same dignity, the same gentle handling, and the same peaceful farewell as any beloved dog or cat.

Why Small Pet Owners Choose Southport Pet Farewells

Gentle, Respectful Handling

People sometimes say “it was just a hamster” or “just a guinea pig”.

I never say that.

If you loved them, if they were part of your family, then they deserve care and respect. That’s what I’m here for.

The Farewell Room - Peaceful and Private

My private Farewell Room offers a calm, uninterrupted space where you can spend time with you cat and say goodbye in your own way. No pressure, no time limits. Some people sit for a few minutes, some for an hour. There’s no right or wrong.

Individual Cremation, Always

Your Pet will be cremated completely alone - never with other pets. I track the identification tag at every stage so you have complete peace of mind.

Ashes Returned Within 72 Hours

Your Pet’s ashes come home in a beautiful scatter tube as standard - or choose from wooden caskets, urns, photo frame urns from my memorial collection.
