In addition to the Roscoe Forever campaign being an important part of our story, it is also our charitable beneficiary. A portion of all proceeds support the Cleveland Animal Protective League.
Advocating for what we need & for those we love fiercely.
Roscoe was my cat, my sidekick, and my work partner for more than seven years. When he died unexpectedly in 2022, it was emblematic of a closing of a formative chapter of my life. Pets are important, and leave an impression on so many, and sharing Roscoe’s life with others helped me to heal tremendously. I heard many stories about the impression he left on them, and folks’ own tales of love and loss of their beloved pets.
Roscoe Forever is a campaign to not only remember Roscoe, but to create space to support pets that could be the next Roscoe — dogs and cats in shelters that have yet to find their people.
When Roscoe died, we were graciously overwhelmed with incredible stories from friends of the memorable personality traits he had, and the things he did. And from that, a few things were evident:
He loved his people fiercely.
He had incredibly strong + consistent boundaries.
He was fully confident in what he needed.
He was wild, rambunctious, and unabashedly full of life.
Roscoe Forever is the campaign we're bringing forward to keep remembering him in our everyday actors. To keep sharing. To be confident, love fearlessly, and set boundaries around what’s the most important. We have a lot to learn from our boy still, and his memory can teach others, too.
Our mission is to remember Roscoe in our daily actions. Our vision is to give back to the organizations and rescues that bring better life to the cats like Roscoe, who were given a fighting chance and and opportunity for a happy home. In the long term, we aim to team up with a cat rescue to support or form an adoption-friendly community space where cats and humans can thrive.
How to honor Roscoe
Use the hashtag #RoscoeForever on social media platforms when sharing your adventurous, wild spirit; when you’re being the most true to yourself.
A small way we’ve been celebrating #RoscoeForever is by dropping memorial rocks with this mission in places we lived with Roscoe (and maybe some future spots, too). We’d love to see your pics of these if you end up anywhere with them!
Lastly, you can give to two organizations near to our heart at any time to honor Roscoe, and to benefit animals like Roscoe who are seeking a happy home. We would love if you note that your gift is in honor of Roscoe.
