About

You are not alone — and neither are we.

PetCloud started with one grief that had nowhere to go. It's grown into a community built so nobody else has to carry that alone.

Why PetCloud Exists

PetCloud was founded in 2016 by Kevin Ringstaff, after the loss of his cat, Henry "Fats" Rothschild. Kevin didn't have anywhere to take that grief — no one in his life who understood that losing a pet is losing family. So he built the place he wished he'd had.

Our pets are our friends, our family, our confidants. When we lose them, that grief deserves to be taken just as seriously.

What started as one person's search for somewhere to grieve has grown into free weekly support groups, structured grief programs, and a trained team of PetCloudians who show up for this community every single week — because pet loss support shouldn't be rare, and it shouldn't be something you have to go looking hard to find.

What We Do

Every Sunday, two free support groups. Through the week, daily check-ins and structured programs for grief, guilt, and rebuilding connection. For people who want it, private one-on-one time with a trained PetCloudian. Different doors, same promise: you don't have to do this by yourself.
