Cat Loss Support Group
We want to be there for our community as much as possible. We offer different monthly meetings to celebrate life, strengthen our community, and simply hang out with people who understand what you’re going through. These meetings include….
-
These walks consist of easy/beginner-friendly terrain and will always be located within the Bay Area! It is a great way to get fresh air and discover beautiful scenery! A new trail location will be chosen every month.
-
A meeting will be held at a different Bay Area café once a month! Enjoy a cozy drink or sweet treat while hanging out! You can also chill and craft using adult coloring books that we provide!
-
We also offer virtual hangout sessions for you to connect with other people who can empathize with this moment in your life. You don’t have to talk if you don't want, and our conversations are open-ended and informal. Just come to hang out!
Anybody is welcome to attend all monthly meetings without the pressure to talk! It’s important for everybody to have a space where they can feel comfortable in their grief, connect, and grow in whichever way that’s best for them.
For our members’ privacy, we don’t publish locations and times on our website, but you can join the next meeting by filling out the quick form below!
