I received a surprise today...

Nice. My vet does the same thing, when a pet departs and you have been her client. It is very heart warming. A truly fine gesture. Sorry to hear about your pet passing. It is never a good time but sometimes things can feel lighter with just a small effort from someone outside the pain.

What a lovely gesture! I would also cherish that letter. My vet always sends a sympathy card when one of our cats has passed, but considering the money we spend on maintaing our cats' health, it would be a nice token of appreciation for the vet to donate to a feline hospital in the deceased cat's name. I know I would shed a tear and also think the world of my vet's generosity.
