Grayson was another of our own cats. He had only three legs and was killed on our property by an unsecured dog.
"Pineapple" was one of our foster kittens who sadly died on the table during a surgery. Now she forever chases butterflies.
Edvard was our own beautiful boy, hit by a vehicle outside our house one night. The gold detailing is in the style of 'kintsugi', a Japanese art that highlights repairs done to a thing that holds worth.

Riley, the calf born with Inside Out Syndrome. This means she was born with her insides on the outside. Her whole spine is 'reversed'.
Riley the Inside Out Calf - her ribs bend the wrong way, her head is on backwards and her spine curls back on itself. Inside out calves are always stillborn or die shortly after birth.
