Most families who choose communal cremation never know where their pet’s ashes went or who handled them. That unknowing can feel like a second loss. Little Whiskers offers a better way. A veterinarian-owned sanctuary where every scattering happens by hand, in a protected natural space. Your pet receives a real, named resting place, and you receive ongoing ways to remain connected.

every scattering is performed with
intention and care

Ashes are gently released by hand into the wind and soil, becoming part of the land’s natural rhythm. It is a quiet return, guided by respect rather than routine.


Little Whiskers is not a cemetery. It is a sanctuary shared with the wild things: sage and native flowers, coyotes and quail, open sky and shifting seasons.

at the top of the hill stands an old oak, known here as the Memory Tree

With every scattering, families have the option to add a small tag or keepsake to its branches—marking the name of their pet, or a few words of remembrance.


The tree was inspired by the story Little Whisker and the Memory Tree. Over time, it has become a living archive of love. Each tag is a reminder that the life mattered, and that memory continues, even as form changes.

even from afar, you can remain close

You can add a personalized tag to the Memory Tree, creating a lasting tribute with your pet’s name or a few words of remembrance. The tree grows more meaningful with every life it holds.


You can also receive Letters from the Hill—seasonal reflections from the land where your pet now rests. These letters follow the rhythms of weather, wildlife, and time. Sign up to stay connected through the turning of the seasons.


A live view of the sanctuary—through the Whisker Cam—is coming in 2026.
