Sweet boy Moe, forever in our hearts – November 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Moe, a Bengal cat who lived an extraordinary 22 years and spent his golden age as a cherished member of the WildCat Ridge Sanctuary family. Moe’s long life was filled with confidence, character, and an unmistakable presence that made him a true fixture of the sanctuary.
As Moe grew older, our team carefully monitored his health. Kidney failure is the most common disease affecting senior cats, and at 22 years old, Moe was considered very elderly. Despite ongoing veterinary care, medication, and special supplements, there came a time when Moe gently let us know he was ready. He passed peacefully, having lived out his life surrounded by familiar spaces, feline companions, and the people who loved him deeply.
Moe was more than a resident—he was part of the heart of the sanctuary. His routines, quirks, and steady presence created lasting memories for all who knew him, and his absence is felt every day.
From our animal care team:
Moe was such a staple of the sanctuary, he always greeted new volunteers, interns and visitors like he had known them forever. Moe lived out his old age with confidence and dignity, surrounded by the people who loved and cared for him and around his feline friends that adored him. His favorite past times were peeing on other cats and sunbathing with his friends in the fresh green grass. He will be greatly missed here at the sanctuary.
Rest peacefully, Moe. You were deeply loved and will always be remembered.
