Gentle Transitions For Pets & Their People
Gentle Transitions for Pets & Their People is an end-of-life pet support event series – panels that provide comfort, understanding, and connection with others who truly get it.
We’re a group of compassionate end-of-life pet care experts who have gathered to host pet grief support and end-of-life care events, panels, and community gatherings in the Tucson, AZ area.
Whether your loss is upcoming, recent or in the distant past, you may be feeling sadness, guilt, confusion,
or even anger. All of your emotions are valid, and all of them are welcome here.
There’s no "right" way to grieve, and no timeline you have to follow. We're here to support one another, to share memories, to cry or to laugh — and to help carry the weight of loss together.
Thank you for being here. You are among friends who understand.
Upcoming Events
Gentle Transitions for Pets & Their People
Tucson friends – Gentle Transitions for Pets & Their People is back. Join us on May 14th at Hunter’s Kitten Lounge for our next event for National Pet Cancer Awareness Month.
This month will focus on the experience when a pet receives a terminal diagnosis – processing the news, navigating anticipatory grief, and understanding what to expect. Plus, exploring the difficult question: just because we can extend life, does it always mean we should?
Grief has no timeline, and there’s no “right” way to feel. With time and space, you can begin to move forward while still carrying their love with you – and this event is designed to help you do that.
All proceeds from this event will be donated to Hunter's Kitten Lounge and Southern Arizona Cat Rescue (SACR). To purchase your ticket, visit: https://app.paperbell.com/checkout/packages/215181
Gentle Transitions For Pets & Their People | December 2025
In the later and final days of our pets’ lives, and in the time after their transition, we have a lot of questions. What happens during the transition process? How do we know when it’s time to make the decision? What happens in the afterlife?
This panel is designed to help you answer those questions. Join us as we share our experiences, insights, and stories of working with pets and their people before, during, and after the transition to the afterlife, and provide a space where you can access the support you need.
