Saying Goodbye

It is with sadness and heavy hearts that we must say goodbye to Sophia, the most photographed cat in Milford. She appeared in many posts throughout her 19 years as well as recently this year in Cincinnati Magazine. A Guide to Local Store Cats

I can remember the day Robin and I took in Sophia and Innana off the street. They were born in the old lumber yard and were wandering Main Street. They immediately took to being shop cats and loved the constant flow of adoration that came through our doors. Over the years, parents bribed their children with potential visits to see the cats if they ate their dinners or many just stopped in to see them on a weekly basis or while home visiting.

They were a destination for many. In tough economic times Robin joked about charging for cat petting!!! Of course that would never happen. So many memories…..broken windows from tapping too hard to get the cat’s attention, dogs going through the glass to get to them, Innana trying to sneak out in the bottom of a stroller. Years of wonderful moments with our girls. It will be impossible to ever forget them and the love and joy they brought to us and so many others.

Please help us remember the many years of Sophie and Innana’s life with your photos and memories. Sophie is resting near her sister and I am sure she is celebrating her new life with Innana and Robin.
